Nicholas Alexander Horning

Nicholas Alexander Horning, 23, Mooresville, tragically died on January 10, 2026, from injuries sustained in an accident.  Nicholas was born on April 19, 2002, in Indianapolis, to his loving parents, Angel Lane and Mathew J. Horning.

Nicholas grew up in the Martinsville/Monrovia area and attended Monrovia schools.  He graduated from Monrovia High School in 2020.  He was working as a contract employee, primarily at GXO, through EmployGig.  Nicholas was a hard-working young man, and his coworkers were always excited when he was assigned to their departments.

An intelligent person, Nicholas became passionate about languages at an early age.  He was self-taught and quite conversational in German, Russian, Polish, and many other languages.  He was an avid reader, a history buff, and, of course, a gamer.   He could often be found in the kitchen helping his mom cook.  He had a love and appreciation for culture, food, and music from all over the world.  Nicholas has an immense love for nature and animals.  He rescued and raised three kittens from 2 1/2 weeks old.  He always referred to Jasper, Ash, and Luna as his kids.  Nicholas and his younger brother, Colsen, always looked forward to traveling together in the future.

Nicholas Horning will be remembered for his intelligence, generosity, inquisitive nature, and free spirit.  Nicholas was an old soul who loved history and classical music, and always used thoughtful manners.  He was kind-hearted and approached life with a positive attitude, no matter the circumstances.  He was a light in this world that is gone too soon.

Survivors include his parents, Angel Lane and Matthew Horning; sister, Courtney Dewitt; brother, Colsen Horning; niece and nephews, Gideon, Kaden, and Rory; and a large extended family including aunts, uncles, and cousins.
