Nick Paul Tarnowski, age 63, passed away December 16, 2023, at Elysian Senior Living and Dementia Care. He was born March 8, 1959, in Duluth, Minnesota to Stephen and Junella Tarnowski. After graduating in 1980 from Denfeld High School, Nick worked for the Goodwill, Sbarro’s Pizza and Realife. He received many honors in the Special Olympics in swimming, track, and bowling…once bowling a 222! A collection of certificates, ribbons, trophies, and awards are a tribute to his work ethic. He loved sports, fishing, the cabin, adventures, travel and organizing things. Nick also was an altar server at St. Benedict’s Catholic Church.
