skybytch 174 #1 Posted October 23, 2020 Nick Furchner of Reno NV passed away yesterday after a long fight with cancer. Long time big way jumper, awesome dentist and one of the most generous and caring individuals you could ever know. Nick will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him, jumpers and whuffos alike. Blue skies, Nick. Fuck cancer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue skies, Nick. Fuck cancer. Super awesome guy. Did lot's of jumps and tunnel with him over the years. One year, at an invitational at the home zone, I had a tooth problem that was a real pain. That night, after sufficient anesthetic was applied, Nick got after it with whatever was handy in the kitchen while the whole load looked on giving encouragement. Good times, great memories. He'll be sorely missed, that's a fact. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 493 #3 October 31, 2020 Did many bigways and more than a few beers with Nick over the years. Always cheerful, always smiling. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipper3 3 #4 February 5 Just saw this in Parachutist. I knew Nick for many years, he always had a smile and was fun to spend time with, whether in the air or partying after. He will be missed by those who had the pleasure to know him. Fly free, my friend! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scytale 0 #5 February 8 In all the years I’ve been going to big-way events, record attempts, boogies, whatever, Nick was one of the special few that when you saw him on the DZ, you thought “cool! Nick is here” and you hoped he was on your plane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
