Nicholas Lawrence Tzortzinis, 43, of King George passed away Wednesday, October 25, 2017. Born and raised in Englewood, N.J., with frequent visits to beloved family in his mother's hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y., Nick graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and began his career in Livonia, Mich. as a Mechanical Engineer at Roush Industries. Eventually a new opportunity at New World Associates (currently part of HDT Global) brought Nick to Virginia, where he learned to balance the advanced technologies of his profession with the traditional art and craftsmanship of blacksmithing. Nick was a lifelong adventurer having hiked several stretches of the Appalachian Trail, ridden the Tail of the Dragon on motorcycle, driven a Ferrari through the Italian countryside and explored countless other destinations in North America and Europe. Survivors include his parents, Spyros and Beatrice Tzortzinis; brother Joseph Tzortzinis (Cynthia Curran); step-daughter Kaia Wood; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, godchildren, family and friends in New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Virginia, across the country and around the world. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 2 at Covenant Funeral Service, Fredericksburg. A memorial mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, November 3 at St. Mary Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Heart Association Memorial Processing Center, Box 5216, Glen Allen, Va. 23058 or to the charity of one's choice. |
