Nico Petrucci

October 27, 2016 - February 11, 2017

Nicolas "Nico" Michael Petrucci was welcomed into heaven February 11, 2017, after a courageous battle only the toughest warriors are chosen to fight. And boy did he put up a fight! Nico was born October 27, 2016 lighting up the life of everyone who had the chance to meet him. Even though his time here was short, he made an impact on thousands of "team Nico warriors" with his sneaky smile and eyes that could tell a story or give you looks that you knew you were in trouble. He was one of the happiest babies even up until God decided he needed to come home, giving everyone big smiles, and letting them know he was there. He was born a shooting star and will always be remembered and loved as that.

Nico was welcomed through heavens gates and into the arms of his grandpa Rick Petrucci and grandma Debbie (Calendo) Petrucci, his Great grandma Joyce Calendo, and Great Grandparents Marlo and Joan Werkheiser. Even though we sometimes question why he was chosen so early, we are comforted knowing he was welcomed into heaven with loving arms reaching out ready to continue loving him like he was loved here on earth. Nico left behind and will be deeply missed by his very proud daddy Dominic Petrucci, an equally proud mommy Lindsey Coffman, three older siblings Abigail Warmoth, Nathan Debelak and Anthony Debelak. Papa and Nana Brad and Jill Hawk, Terry and Lynn Coffman, Great Grandpa Michael Calendo and Great Grandpa and Grandma Rich and Ruth Petrucci, and lots of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and dear friends.

We want to personally thank the nurses and doctors on the 15th floor of Lurie's Children Hospital who became our extended family during these past weeks for all the love, and care you gave our sweet baby boy.

Services to celebrate Nico's life will be held on Thursday February 16 at Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave. (Rte. 176), Crystal Lake, IL 60014. A visitation to share condolences will be from 1 until 3:30 PM with a service running from 3:30 until 4 PM. A private burial with just immediate family will be Friday the 17th.

The family asks in lieu of flowers they would appreciate donations back to them to help cover the medical costs during this difficult time. Everything remaining will be donated back to Lurie's Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House. We want to thank everyone who has reached out, said a prayer, or held us as we've grieved during this very difficult time.
