Nicholas Roché

June 25, 2001 — July 16, 2025

Nicholas Blaine Roche', born June 25, 2001, passed away on Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, at the age of 24. Nicholas was a native and resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He graduated High School as one of the top students in his class from Family Christian Academy and received his Bachelor's Degree (Cum Laude) in Screen Arts from LSU. Nicholas worked in both film making and digital media as well as the hospitality industry, making a lasting impact to all he touched. Nicholas had various interests and hobbies such as art and painting, reading and poetry, photography and filming, playing and listening to music, cooking and baking, playing video games, watching movies, being in touch with nature, being an avid animal lover and was a connoisseur of many coffees and teas. He had great knowledge of various topics that showcased his intelligence past his educational experience and talents. Nicholas was known to be the sweetest person you'd encounter and would love to crack a joke to have a great laugh. He had a humor that was unique and witty. Nicholas always left you with a smile that lit up the room and was genuine, but was well known for the hugs he gave to those he truly loved. He will be remembered greatly by the kindness and care he had for others and not only was his words meaningful but his presence undeniably gravitated as being heartfelt. Nicholas will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving him.
