Paul V.

Nicewicz

Paul passed away on Sunday May 30th at UMASS Medical Center in Worcester with his mother Lee Fleck, Aunt Daria Poe, and his Devereux caregiver Donellia Carter, at his side. He was 23 years of age. Born in Chelsea he was a son of Lisa "Lee" Fleck and the late Paul Stanley Nicewicz.  Paul was a resident at the May Institute until he aged out at the age of 22. He then became a resident at a group home in Sterling run by the Devereux Foundation. We can't say enough about the loving care Paul was given by both his May and Devereux families. Their professionalism, kindness, dedication, and genuine affection for Paul was greatly appreciated by his family.  Paul loved to play catch and soccer. He enjoyed any kind of musical card, book or toy. Skeeball, trampolines and sprinkler parks were among his favorite leisure activities. Paul loved to sit in his favorite chair, and mealtimes and snack time were very important to him.

Paul was predeceased by his brother Mark Fleck, his grandmother Sophia Pietkiewicz and his uncle Joseph Pietkiewicz. Left to mourn his loss are his mother Lee Fleck, his sister Tanya Quinn, nieces Cecelia and Evelyn Quinn, brother Eric Fleck, aunt Daria, uncle Steven and cousin Evan Poe, and loving uncles Mark and David Pietkiewicz. He was the grandson of Victor Pietkiewicz, and Florence Wiencko. He will be greatly missed by those that knew and loved him.
