Nicholas James Giovanni Aretino, of Gallup New Mexico, left this world on Tuesday, January 31, 2023. Nick was a generous, giving, kind, witty, and loving person who was always there for his mom and his friends. He was loved and cherished by his mom and the rest of his family. In his last unselfish act on earth, Nick was an organ donor. He gave in death as he did in life. Nick was able to give the gift of life, to several recipients, of his organs and tissues.

He is survived by his mother, Sandi Adkins and stepfather, Kevin Adkins; his siblings, Darien and Cael; his grandparents, Dominick and Marlene Aretino and James Sears; his aunts and uncles, Azura Aretino and Tine Hayes, Daniella Aretino, and Jeff and Niki Sears; many cousins and nieces and close friends; and his faithful cat, Sasha.
