Nicholas J. O'Donnell Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on January 2, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Nicholas J. O'Donnell of Indianapolis, Indiana. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Nicholas J. O'Donnell to show support.

Though Nicholas may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Nicholas touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his father John Joseph O'Donnell. He is survived by: his mother Margaret Thecla O'Donnell (Denk); his son Christopher O'Donnell; and his siblings, Patricia Griffey, Joan O'Donnell, Tim O'Donnell (April), Maureen Rumer (Paul), John O'Donnell (Robyn) and Mary Ruth Rumer (Pete). He is also survived by several nieces and nephews, as well as 8 great nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Riley Children's Foundation at https://rileykids.org..
