Nicole M. Daake

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nicole Marie Daake, 35, of Fort Collins, on April 27, 2025. Nicole was born at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney, NE to the loving parents of Jenni Amanda Struck and Steven Eugene Daake. She lives on through her son, Weston Currin; parents Jenni Struck and Steve Daake, sisters Natashia Harvey, Kristen Ludwig, and Megan Struck; brothers-in-law Jonathan Harvey and Dan Ludwig; aunts Valerie Struck, Michelle Hackett, and Cindy Harpham; uncles Jeff Struck, Tony Struck, Jeremy Daake, and Michael Daake; cousins Alicia Marie Struck, Alexandra Struck, Melissa Struck, Jacob Struck, Jared Struck, Anthony Struck, Nathan Struck, and James Struck; nieces and nephews Savannah Carpenter, Ryker Ludwig, Jaylynn Harvey, Alexis Harvey, and James Harvey; as well as her loving grandparents Ron Daake and Linda Knepp. She was preceded in death by maternal grandfather James Albert Struck, maternal grandmother Mary Alice Strohman, and stepmother Karyn J. Daake. Nicole was a very special person to many of us. Nicole had a way of brightening everyone’s spirits just by entering a room with her vibrant energy. She was a very gentle soul that had love for everything around her. Nicole had many hobbies and interests including antiques, coin collecting, crafting jewelry pieces, and she loved her crystals. She also had a love for music and soaking up the sun. Nicole was a holistic believer, so very down to earth, compassionate listener, and loved making people laugh with her charming sense of humor. She always loved a good, harmless practical joke. Nicole’s high interest for mechanics led her into a career working for Woodward. She was part of a fantastic team building innovative energy control solutions for aerospace and industrial use applications. Nicole has touched so many lives in her lifetime with unconditional love for others. She will be forever missed by all her friends and family, but she will live on through the circle of life and our hearts. A memorial service is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 3, 2025, in the beautiful forests of Livermore.
