The City of Alma, Georgia, is mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Nick Overstreet, who passed away unexpectedly.

Known for his dedication, integrity, and unwavering commitment to his work and community, Nick served as the City Manager with distinction and later continued to influence and guide others as a mentor. His passing has left colleagues, friends, and loved ones shocked and deeply saddened.

Nick was more than just a public servant—he was a pillar of Alma, someone whose leadership was marked by honesty, compassion, and a sincere desire to see his city thrive.

During his tenure as City Manager, he worked tirelessly to improve municipal operations, strengthen community programs, and foster a spirit of unity among residents and staff. Even after his time in the role, he remained a trusted advisor, always willing to share his knowledge and experience to help others succeed.

City officials described him as an irreplaceable asset, a man whose dedication to Alma went far beyond job requirements. His legacy in public service will be remembered not only in the projects he helped accomplish but also in the personal impact he had on those around him.

His loved ones recall that he was a man of principle—someone who led by example, cherished his relationships, and never wavered in his values.

One heartfelt tribute from his family reflects the depth of their loss:

“Nick, you were a wonderful husband, daddy, son-in-law, and brother-in-law. You loved your family with everything in you. You were genuinely a good man, a man of great integrity who can’t be replaced. It still doesn’t feel real. 💔 Jennifer and the boys love & miss you so much—we all do—but we’re trying to be strong, like YOU. Knox & Maddox said, ‘Don’t worry about mama, we will take care of her.’ You would be so proud of your boys, how grown and brave they have been. Until we see you again, much love!!”

Friends and colleagues alike remember Nick as someone who could light up a room with his presence. He approached challenges with calm determination, offered support without hesitation, and took genuine joy in the accomplishments of those he mentored.

Whether navigating city matters or spending time with his family, Nick gave his best to every role he held. The news of his passing has prompted an outpouring of condolences from across Alma and beyond.

Former coworkers have expressed gratitude for the guidance and encouragement he provided, and community members have shared stories of his generosity and fairness. His absence will be felt not only in City Hall but throughout the entire city he served.

In moments of remembrance, many point to his deep love for his children. He was an engaged and loving father to Knox and Maddox, always encouraging them, teaching them, and supporting their dreams. Those who knew him say his greatest joy was watching his boys grow into the kind, capable, and compassionate young men he always hoped they would become.

Nick’s passing is a profound loss to his family, the City of Alma, and everyone fortunate enough to have known him. While the grief is deep, his legacy will live on—in the lives he touched, the lessons he shared, and the love he poured into his community and family.

Rest in peace, Nick Overstreet. Your leadership, kindness, and devotion will be remembered always, and your example will continue to guide those you leave behind.
