Nico Orlando Oliva

Nico O. Oliva, a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and uncle, passed away on September 2, 2024, at the age of 36. Born on May 22, 1988, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, he was the third of seven children to Maria Magdalena and Nicacio Oliva.

Growing up in Shelley, Idaho, Nico was known for his adventurous spirit and zest for life. He thrived on exploring the outdoors—whether riding bikes, floating down the canal, swimming, or fishing. His boundless energy and enthusiasm were matched by his deep sense of responsibility; he was always eager to include all of his siblings in his activities and make sure everyone had fun. With Nico around, laughter was a constant and his infectious smile ensured there was never a dull moment.

In his senior year of high school, Nico moved to Cache Valley with his family and graduated from Logan High School in 2007. After graduation, he found fulfillment in working and helping others, always ready to lend a hand whenever needed.

Nico met Jessica Vieyra Oliva in Logan, Utah, and, driven by his adventurous spirit, followed her to Savage, Montana. Their love blossomed, and they were married on July 25, 2015. Nico and Jessica later settled in North Dakota, where Nico embraced his new surroundings with enthusiasm. He enjoyed exploring the region, indulging his passion for fishing and ATVing, and dedicating his time to working on cars and engines. His generosity extended to helping friends and family with their vehicles, earning him a reputation as a reliable and supportive friend.

On September 26, 2019, Nico and Jessica welcomed their daughter, Camila Carmen Oliva. Camila was the light of Nico’s life, bringing out his best out of him. Their family grew with the birth of their son, Maximo Nicacio Oliva, on August 26, 2023. Nico took immense pride in his role as a father, and Camila embraced her role as a big sister with grace. Nico couldn’t have been prouder of his two children.

Nico also loved to travel with his wife Jessica Vieyra Oliva and kids whether it was a quick weekend getaway or a vacation to explore a new area, Nico was always down. Nico and Jessica decided to move back to Cache Valley to raise their children around family. Nico loved his family and spending time with them and wanted ensure his kids were raised with their cousins.  Nico always wanted the best for his wife and family and loved them unconditionally.

Nico’s adventurous spirit, love for his family, and readiness to lend a helping hand will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.
