Read the obituary for 16-year-old Nicholas Joyce
The Stoughton High School student was one of four teens killed in a car crash on Saturday.
Nicholas Joyce.
One of the four Stoughton High School students killed in a weekend car crash is being remembered by his loved ones for his interest in athletics and graphic design.
Nicholas Anthony Joyce, 16, of Stoughton, died Saturday afternoon when the car he was in with four friends hit a tree in East Bridgewater.
“He loved being around family and friends,” Joyce’s relatives wrote in his obituary. “Nicholas was the life of the party and loved to dance and have a good time. He also loved to play video games in his free time and could be found sketching designs of shoes. Nicholas will truly be missed.”
According to The Boston Globe, it is the second tragedy the Joyce family has been faced with in recent weeks. The 16-year-old’s cousin, Christopher Joyce, was one of two innocent victims in what authorities have described as a gang-related shooting on May 5 in Jamaica Plain.
Funeral services for the Stoughton teen are planned for Thursday, May 31, in Avon. Read the full obituary for Joyce, shared by Farley Funeral Home, below:
