Nicholas J. Maglione, 31, of Manalapan, passed away surrounded by the love of his family on Saturday, May 16.

Born in Morristown, NJ and raised in Manalapan, Nicholas was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend whose kindness and presence left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him. Nick had a rare way of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. Humble, selfless, and endlessly compassionate, he consistently put others before himself and carried a quiet strength that inspired those around him. He was deeply loved by his family, treasured by his friends, and respected by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Nicholas attended Manalapan grade school and graduated from St. John Vianney High School. He later attended Rider University, where he met the love of his life, his wife Jessica, and earned his master’s degree from the University of Scranton. He dedicated his career to healthcare leadership, always leading with compassion, empathy, and genuine care for others, most recently serving as Assistant Vice President of Lung Health for RWJBarnabas Health Southern Region.

Nick loved sports and was a loyal Steelers and Yankees fan. He loved cooking alongside Jessica, trying new restaurants, and creating memories with the people he loved most. Above all else, Nick’s greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted husband and an incredibly loving father to his son, Giancarlo, who was the center of his world.

He is survived by his wife, Jessica; his beloved son, Giancarlo; his loving parents, Valerie and John; his brother and sister-in-law, Christopher and Gina; his nieces, Olivia and Giuliana; his mother and father-in-law, Paula and Paul; his sister-in-law, Kristina; and his loving dog, Enzo.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Thursday, May 21, at 10:00 am at St. Thomas More Church in Manalapan. A Celebration of Life will follow at a later date.
