Beloved father, son, brother, uncle, and friend passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 17, 2026. He was 43 years old. Nicholas Gerald Hozeska was born on December 8, 1982, in Dallas, Texas. He was a graduate of Heritage High School.

The role of his lifetime, one he treasured and cherished above all others, was to be a loving and devoted father to his two children. Nick was a member of First Baptist Church of Bridgeport. Throughout his life, he enjoyed playing as well as watching hockey and golf. He will forever be remembered for his kind and generous spirit, for selflessly helping others before himself, and for always being a source of light, love, and happiness for all who knew him.
