Born on March 16, 1938 in Croatia, Nick carried with him a deep pride of his heritage and a strong work ethic that defined his life. He later made his home in the Coachella Valley, where he built houses as a respected general contractor, but also a legacy of hard work, integrity, and craftsmanship.

Construction was more than a profession for Nick it was his passion. He loved to build, create, and see projects come to life. He took immense pride in his work and was known for his dedication, skill, and commitment to doing things the right way.

Beyond his career, Nick was known for his sharp sense of humor and love of joking with family and friends. His laughter, quick wit, and playful personality brought light to those around him. He had a way of making people smile, even in the simplest moments.

Nick was a devoted father to his two sons, Nikola Crncic and Mario Crncic, and a proud grandfather to Tyler, Jasmine, Alyssa, Jordyn, Jessica, and Jesse, who were the joy of his life. He is also survived by his brother John and sister Maritza of Canada.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his strength, humor, and the foundation of love he built for his family.
