Our beloved beautiful boy, Nicholas Jordan Yeager died of a drug overdose on Tuesday, January 22, 2019. Nick was born on November 19, 1989 in Ashtabula, Ohio. He grew up in Madison, where he lived on and off throughout his adult life. He also resided in Painesville and Cleveland.
Nick was a natural born athlete and competitor which was fitting since his father gave him his middle name after the legendary athlete, Michael Jordan. He spent countless hours with his team mates and friends perfecting their game and more importantly growing their friendships that would last his lifetime. He was an honored Blue Streak that attended Madison High School where he earned his way on the football field to a scholarship to attend Lake Erie College as a Storm athlete. He was a pure joy to watch from the sidelines or bleachers in whatever sport he was playing and he always excelled with a ball in his hand.
If you were lucky enough to know Nick, you knew his smile was quick and his fashion was slick. He loved to sing with his annoying voice, and he once earned twenty bucks to sing the national anthem on the plane to Cancun on a family vacation. He supplied never ending hugs to his mom and loved long involved sports arguments with his dad. He lit up the lives of his family and friends but it was his four year old son, Kade that lit up his. When he was with Kade, all was right in his world.
Although his adult life was full of more struggle than his early years, he never lost sight of his pursuit of a happy and healthy life. He fought hard to regain his footing when he faltered and he, nor those who loved him and supported him, never lost hope.

Nick was adored by his son, Kade Micheal Yeager, his parents, Michael & Laura Yeager, his sisters, Erika Costello and Kayleigh Yeager, and his brother in law, Branco Samassekou. He also leaves his maternal grandparents, Sharon Sobe, Lawrence & Malinda Sobe as well as nephews Dominic & Colin Costello, and nieces, Sofia Costello, Aria & Alcie Samassekou. He will also be dearly missed by his aunt and uncle and many cousins. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Albert and Anna Marie Yeager.
Family and friends will be received from 5-8 p.m. on Sunday, January 27, 2019 at the Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River St., in Madison. Funeral Service will take place at 11 a.m. on Monday, January 28, 2019 at the funeral home. Burial will immediately follow at North Madison Cemetery.
