Nicholas "Nick" Hoffman

Nicholas "Nick" Robert Hoffman, of Bismarck, passed away November 6, 2024 at the age of 30.

Nick was born on September 22, 1994, in Bismarck, ND to Rob and Kathy (Balcom) Hoffman. He attended Will-Moore Elementary School, Simle Middle School and graduated from Bismarck High School in 2013.

From birth, Nick was a true adventurer, ready to take on the world in his own way. All who knew Nick would remember his quiet, kind, free-spirited personality. He was a hardworking, guitar playing, avid fishing, animal loving, rock-n-roll man. Above all he was a great dude and friend to everyone he met. Nick would’ve been the first to give anyone the clothes off his back, even if it was the only Salty-Crew shirt he had left. He was grateful for his employers that returned the favor, and took a chance on him.

Nick loved his cats, music, long boarding, band t-shirts, Big Boy and pancakes – not necessarily in that order. However, his greatest love of all was the love he had for his three nieces and the time they spent together.

Nick was truly selfless. Always trying to take care of and look after everyone around him, often forgetting to take care of himself. Nick had a lot of people in his corner ready to bet on his ability to beat the odds; but on November 6, 2024, Nick lost his long, hard battle with addiction.

The day Nick passed, a part of us left along with him. As Nick rides his highway to heaven, we take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering, his charming grin has returned, and he has now found the peace and rest that he so desperately deserves.

Nick is survived by his parents Robert and Kathleen Hoffman; sister, Sasha (Jonathan) Schroeder; brother, Jerome (Emily) Hoffman; brother, Lee (Jessica) Hoselton; grandmother, Irene Hoffman; nieces, Sawyer, Nora, and Aubrey Schroeder.

Nick is preceded in death by his grandparents, Mary Agnes, Curtiss Balcom and Jerome (Jerry) Hoffman; cousins, Daniel Balcom and Krystal Swallow.
