Nicolas "Nico" Bado was born on July 12, 1980 in Los Angeles, California and died Monday, August 4, 2014 at the age of 34. Nico is survived by his loving wife Annmarie, two children, Landon and Brynn, father and step-mother, Ricardo Bado and Carole Kelton, mother Josefina Bado, sister, Luciana Bado and aunt Kuka Blanco.

Few people enjoyed life as much as Nico, and those who were fortunate enough to have known him had richer lives as a result. Nico was larger than life and had a zest and a zeal for everything in it. He loved being the chef at the bar-b-que, following his favorite sports teams, Lakers, Angels and Rams, working for In-N-Out for the last 17 years, but most of all, he loved his family.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, August 12 at 1:00 pm at Coast Hills Community Church in Aliso Viejo (see below). Everyone is to be casually dressed in bright yellow (his favorite color) or any colorful attire of your choosing. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: http://www.gofundme.com/badofamily
