Nicholas S. Aberle II

December 11, 1979 — March 26, 2025

Shawnee

Dr. Nicholas "Nick" Sebastian Aberle II, a beloved father, esteemed surgeon, and devoted man of faith, passed away in Shawnee, KS, due to a heart condition. Born on December 11, 1979, in Bismarck, ND, Nick's life was marked by his dedication to his family, his patients, and his faith.

A graduate of the University of North Dakota, Nick earned a double major in biology and physical chemistry in 2003 before pursuing his Doctor of Medicine, which he obtained in 2007. His commitment to excellence led him to complete an Orthopedic Residency at the University of Nebraska in 2012, followed by additional training in Orthopedic Sports Medicine at the University of Colorado in 2013.

Nick served as an orthopedic surgeon at Providence Hospital for a decade, eventually becoming Chairman of Surgery. He later continued his practice with Ascentist Healthcare. His colleagues and patients remember him not only for his exceptional skill and dedication but also for his compassionate care and genuine concern for others.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Nick loved golfing, and one of his favorite memories was achieving a hole in one. His greatest pride and source of happiness were his children, Anna, Elizabeth, and Thomas Aberle, who survive him.

A committed member of the community, Nick was involved in prayer ministry through the Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, where his faith and kindness touched many lives.

Nick is preceded in death by his father, Nicholas Aberle, and brother, Jake Aberle. He is survived by his loving mother, Shirley Tome (Mickelson) step-father, Jim Tome, his brother and sister in law, Matt and Corrie Aberle, and his cherished children, Anna, Elizabeth, and Thomas Aberle.

A funeral mass will take place on April 11, 2025, at 11 am at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Shawnee, Kansas. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Holy Family Catholic School in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (3005 W. Kathleen Ave; Coeur Dalene ID 83815).

Nick's legacy of love, service, and faith will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
