Nicholas Joseph Maiolo passed away on February 22, 2025 at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. He was 39. Nicholas was born on March 28, 1985 in Poughkeepsie, NY to Dominic Maiolo and Brenda (Pirtle) McClusky.

Nicholas was a caring person, a true gentleman who was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He had a big heart and always had a big smile on his face. He was a very hard worker and would always be there for anyone who needed him. In his spare time, he loved going to the Orange County Speedway to watch the races his uncle was in. He loved all animals, especially his dog Chevy who he shared an incredible bond with.

Nicholas was a brave and strong person who fought a valiant 39 year battle with congenital heart disease but he never let it slow him down or get in the way of doing what he liked to do. He recently received a new heart and liver where he continued that valiant and brave pursuit of life and happiness.

Nicholas is survived by his father Dominic Maiolo, his mother Brenda McClusky, his stepfather Steven McClusky, his sister Christine Maiolo, his faithful companion Chevy, and many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

He was predeceased by his grandparents Dominick and Frances Maiolo, and Glen and Velma Pirtle.

Calling hours will be held on Friday February 28th, 2025 from 11-1pm at the McHoul Funeral Home of Fishkill 1089 Main St. Fishkill. A funeral service will begin at 1pm, followed immediately by burial at Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery.
