Online condolences may be sent in memory of Nick to www.meyersfuneralchapel.com.
Nick was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida on May 5, 1991, and lived a few years in Austin, TX. He was a 2009 graduate of Blue Springs High School where he completed his Firefighting and EMT certifications at the Fort Osage Career Technology Center. During high school Nick worked in food service at Saint Mary’s Manor in Blue Springs where he developed a heart for helping the elderly. Since graduation he has held various jobs, most recently as grounds keeper at Stone Canyon Golf Course, however his true passion and career aspirations were to become a full time firefighter with Central Jackson County Fire District where he was currently employed as a reservist.
Nick’s hobbies included spending time with his friends, many forms of skating, riding ATVs, and trap shooting. In his younger years, he attended the former North Springs United Methodist Church. He was preceded in death by his Paternal Grandfather Kenneth Rae McFerren, maternal Grandmother Kay Chapman, and friend Bo Hotmer.
Nick will be remembered for his eagerness to help, polite caretaking nature, and his ability to get along with others. His personality, wit, and charm will be sorely missed; he lit up a room with his presence... A testament to his generous nature, Nick was a registered organ and tissue donor.
Survivors include: parents David and Krista McFerren, younger sister and brother Kate and Mark McFerren of Blue Springs; stepfather Scott Powell of Carrollton, Mo; paternal grandmother E. Joanne McFerren of Austin, Tx; maternal grandfather Wendell Chapman and maternal step-grandmother Sandra Powell of Evansville, IN; many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Thanks goes out to friends, family, Blue Springs Christian Church, and Church of the Resurrection Blue Springs for support during this time.
Cremation and arrangements entrusted to Meyers Funeral Chapel 1600 W. Main St. Blue Springs, Mo. 64015 816-229-3276. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the family in care of Meyers Funeral Chapel to help defray family expenses.
