Lemmon, Nicholas Douglas Wade – It is with heavy hearts that we share that Nicholas Douglas Wade Lemmon, age 24 of Bible Hill, passed away peacefully at home on January 25, 2026. He was welcomed with open arms by his father, Douglas Wade Lemmon; paternal grandparents, Teresa Whidden and Ron Lemmon; maternal grandfather, Orie Isenor; and many great‑grandparents.
Nick was diagnosed with cancer two years ago, and he fought courageously through it all. When things took a turn, Nick’s only wish was to see Lake Louise with his buddies. With the support of many, he made that wish a reality and flew out to Banff, Alberta with his mom, brother, and friends in late September. He traveled back home across Canada with his mom and Aunt Cole, taking in every sight he had hoped to see.
He is survived by his mother, Janice (Isenor) Lemmon; brother, Eric Preiss, Shubenacadie; sister, Haley (Richard), New Brunswick; and his grandmother, Elizabeth Isenor “Grummy/Grum Grum.” He will also be deeply missed by Aunt Niccole (Jeff) Fancy, North River; Uncle David (Jen) Isenor, Fall River; Aunt Juanita “Pokey” (Tony) Wright, Truro Heights; Aunt Marsha McClellan, Valley; Aunt Jenny Whidden, Truro Heights; cousins, Kayla “Rabbit”, RJay, Mataya, Landyn, Jonas, Maren, Hollyand, and Elijah “Nugget”.
His closest friends—Branden, Jayden, Ryan, and Torro—were more like brothers to him. They stood by Nick and supported him through everything.
Nick was a particular guy in many ways. He liked what he liked, and when he didn’t, he made it known. He was a logical thinker, and when you sat down to talk with him, you felt how much he cared. He really listened. He told you what you needed to hear, not just what you wanted to hear. Humble to a fault, Nick was known for his sarcastic comments, quick wit, and his disregard for those who lacked common sense.
Nick loved to learn. He was the only guy who could get a 92% on a university paper for a class he wasn’t even enrolled in. He devoured information, reading about random topics and debating anyone willing to engage. He enjoyed educating himself through videos and was especially fond of Chef Pierre—even though he was no master chef. If you were lucky enough to try one of his specialty dishes (Mr. Noodles, pancakes, or scrambled eggs), you were brave.
Nick had a passion for football, baseball, and gaming. He played football all through his high‑school career with the CEC Football Team. He was an avid New York Giants fan (quote from Torro: “even though they were the worst team in the league”). When he wasn’t playing sports, he played video games online. Nick could spend hours playing games. From exploring wastelands with his brother, grinding for grand champ with his friends, or meticulously crafting worlds with his cousin.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
A Celebration of Life for Nick will be held in Bible Hill Fire Hall on Sunday, February 8th from 3 – 6 p.m. A private family burial will be held at a later date.
The family would like to thank Dr. Rowe, and Dr. Lamond of the oncology department.
Thank you to Mary, Hannah, Dr. Smith, Dr. Patterson, Dr. Henderson, and the entire Palliative Care team for making sure it didn’t (in Nick’s words) “suck ass.”
A special thank you to Wanda from Arimathea.
And thank you to everyone who helped make Nick’s last wish come true.
To know Nick was to love him.
