Nick Salisbury, age 24, of Mint Hill, North Carolina, passed away unexpectedly from injuries sustained in a car accident on October 24th, 2018. Nick was born in West Palm Beach, Florida on May 27th, 1994.

Nick developed his passion for Baseball as a 6-year-old in Florida. His love of baseball continued when he moved to North Carolina in 2006 with his family and lead him to Independence High School, where he played baseball and graduated in 2013. Nick was blessed to have the opportunity to continue to play in college. His first two years at Liberty University and the last two at UNC Pembroke, where he was in the process of attaining a Criminal Justice Degree. The relationships that he formed in those four years with teammates and coaches will forever be cherished. It was at Pembroke that he met and fell in Love with a special young lady, Taylor Harrell.

Nick has been blessed with so many wonderful friendships that started at a young age in Boynton Beach, Florida, and are still strong today. Upon moving to Mint Hill, North Carolina, his friendships continued to grow through baseball and school, including “The Crew,” Cody, Barret, Morgan, Lane, Tyler, Evan, Kush, Jon, Clay and Conner. His friends meant the world to him!
