Honoring Nicholas “The Mouth” Giancola

Contribute Now Select “Dedicate my donation in honor or in memory of someone” and put “Nicholas Giancola”

In June of 2020, our beloved Nicholas passed away. Unbeknownst to us, Nicholas had registered as an organ, eye, and tissue donor. Although we were unaware of his decision, we weren’t surprised when we learned about it. Of course Nicholas wanted to give the ultimate gift. Although Nicholas’ gifts couldn’t be recovered due to various circumstances, Lifebanc still honored him as a hero, a “donor in spirit.” Our beloved son’s legacy inspires us every day to be generous, to love our families, and to live each moment with purpose and passion.

Lifebanc has been an important source of encouragement and support for our family as we grieve our son’s passing. Now, we’re encouraging our community to follow Nicholas’ example and do two things: register as an organ, eye, and tissue donor and make a financial gift to Lifebanc.

Lifebanc is a non-profit and uses all financial donations to support their bereavement services, community outreach and education, innovation, and research projects. Honor the life of Nicholas “The Mouth” Giancola (November 30, 1998 – June 8, 2020) by making a contribution. Thank you.

Stories

The stories of our donor and recipient families are powerful, moving celebrations of life, hope, and love that get to the heart of why we do what we do, and the difference we can all make. Lifebanc believes that anyone can be a hero – and we see it every day in the generous decisions of people and families who choose and support organ and tissue donation. We’d like you to meet some of these heroes, and some of the Northeast Ohio neighbors they are helping.
