QUEENSBURY – Nicholas Monteleone, 34, of Queensbury, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, due to a traumatic brain injury, following a motorcycle accident. He passed surrounded by friends and family and in the arms of his wife of 13 years.
He was born on June 19, 1985, in Glens Falls.
Nick was the type of person to give to the shirt off his back and help anyone, so it is no surprise that he was an organ donor. He gave someone the gift of life, after he completed his journey here with us.
How do I even Begin to describe the beautiful man that stole my heart. He is my world, the light of my life. He gave me three beautiful children and 13 years of amazing memories. He was loyal, compassionate and the best provider I could ask for. I know he loved us with every ounce of his soul, as we will him for the rest of our lives. Colleen Bancroft.
He was predeceased by his father in law Carl Bancroft, Jr.
He is survived by his wife, Colleen Bancroft of Queensbury; his three children, Liliana, 11, Giovani, 9, and Adriana 10 Months old, all from Queensbury; his in-laws, Diane Bancroft of South Glens Falls; his brother and sister in law, Ken and Crystal Morgan of Queensbury and their two children, Isabella and Jonathan, and Carl and Tina Bancroft of South Glens Falls and their four children, Tristen, Alexis, Damon and Caleb; his sister, Joanne Schoomaker of Ellenburg Center; and other estranged family; and that is not including the many friends he has touched; his brothers of the Salvaged Souls Mc, Judge, Tiki, McGee, Kaos, Cookie, Backfire, Justin and Hardcore and all their families whom he loved like a family and they loved him equally as much. Nick was 1 of the 3 original members whom started Salvaged Souls MC 2 years ago and his dedication was what you expected from a brother or sister. These men weren’t blood, but they were all family and Never let anyone tell them otherwise. Never was a MAN EVER LEFT BEHIND!
All services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
Memorial donations may be sent to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, 30 Cooper St, Glens Falls, NY 12801.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Carleton Funeral Home, Inc., 68 Main Street in Hudson Falls.
Nick,
You’ll be missed greatly my friend. The short time you’ve had here you left behind a memory. Everyone remembers you because of your heart. The gruffness was for show, down inside you were all heart. Your giving and helping nature. The memories I have- I can only imagine what others do. You’ve left behind a big gap that’ll never close.
I wish you a peaceful rest and another adventurous ride. We’ll meet again.
Nick,
I don’t even know where to begin. You’ve touched so many during your short thirty four years. Your gruffness was just for show and inside you were nothing but heart. You never hesitated helping anyone, it was just who you were.
You’ll always be remembered.

You’re waving behind such a large hole that can never be filled. I hope you have an adventurous ride up there, Love ya Nikoli.
