Nic Haakon Bergrud passed April 12, 2015. Born in Trondheim, Norway, he was the son of Nils Bergrud and Elvan Habicht.

A master of the mechanical and the craftsmanship of a true artist, Nic was a genius in all fields. His interests also extended beyond machines. He loved nature and was in awe with all of her beauties and bounties.

Nic lived to help his wife, Toni, with her dreams of owning a farm and caring for horses, and he did so with much diligence and vision. He also lived to see his daughters succeed in all of their dreams and endeavors.
