Nick Ivanovich

With great sadness we announce the passing of Nikola, Nick, Uncle Nick, Kum Nick, Mr. Ivanovich, Dad and Grandpa in his 84th year, surrounded by love on July 24, 2025. Nick was predeceased by his parents Stojanka and Andjel and his brother Radovan (Ljiljana) Ivanovic. Survived and loved by his children, Candace (Ardalan), Nathan (Nicole), Nicole (Phil), Jovan (Jennifer) and his grandchildren, Aubree, Rowan, Mischa, Neven, Mila, Nela and Mikayla.

Born in the former Yugoslavia and moved to Canada with his mother as a teenager, Nick called London his home, helping to settle his friends and family here with him. He became a role model and support for newcomers to Canada. He was an inspiring driving force at growing and building the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church and the Serbian community in and around London. He was very devoted to his faith and had high hopes that his efforts and those of the other founding fathers and friends of St. Sava Church would come to fruition for future generations. He was well known for his teaching career, teaching Architecture and Wood Working at Beal, Wheable and Saunders as well as lots of long-term supply teaching during his retirement. Nick was a staple on the sidelines of his kids sporting events, hockey, basketball, baseball but most remembered on the soccer fields. The teams and families that will always remember him fondly are numerous (the refs not so much lol).

The family would all like to thank everyone at Chelsey Park Long Term Care, especially the 3^rd floor staff. Your kindness, patience and love got us through this. You will never know how much we appreciate and needed you.

Nick lived life on his terms and fashions, confident in his abilities and beliefs right until the end, he did it his way.
