Robert Brent Niceforo, lovingly called Robby, or Coach Nice, departed on September 9, 2026, at 51 years old.
Survived by spouse Gracemarie Niceforo, children Christian and Olivia Niceforo, Robby cherished his family above all.
His heart thrived on moments with loved ones—cheering at games, sharing music, and creating memories.
Olivia shared: "My dad was my guiding star. His laughter lit up every room. His spirit lives on in us."
He is also remembered by parents Judith Russo and Robert Niceforo, siblings Kevin and Suzanne, and extended family including Chuck, Gina, and others.
Born October 9, 1973, in Lawrence, MA, Robby excelled in sports early, starring at Methuen High School before earning a degree in education from Syracuse University.
Active in wrestling and rugby during college, he later taught math and coached at Lawrence High School for over two decades.
Passions included camping, cooking, dancing, and break dancing—a talent he showcased at family events.
Visiting hours at Nichols Funeral Home, 187 Middlesex Ave., Wilmington, MA, are scheduled for September 15, 2026, 3:30–7:30 p.m.
A funeral Mass follows September 16 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Thomas of Villanova Church, with burial at Wildwood Cemetery.
May his memory bring comfort and peace to those who knew him.
