Nicholas Adam “Nick” “Bobo” “Nicky” Barlet, 29, of Mertztown, passed away on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 in Lehigh Valley Hospital - Cedar Crest, with his entire family by his side. Nick tremendously fought for his life for 40 days following an automobile accident on May 5. He was the husband of Krista M. (Werley) Barlet.

Born in Allentown, Nicholas was the son of Bruce N. Barlet, widower of Linda H. Barlet of Mertztown, and Tammy L. (Zimmerman), wife of John R. Groff of Pottstown. Nick was a 2006 graduate of Brandywine Heights High School, Mertztown. He was most recently employed by Atlas Minerals & Chemicals, Inc., Mertztown, for three years. He previously worked as a fork lift operator at Faddis Concrete Products, Kutztown, for two years, Graphite Machining Inc., Topton, and Fairmount Foundry, Hamburg. Nick was a member of Rainbow Hose Fire Co., Schuylkill Haven, where he was a volunteer firefighter for several years. He also was a member of Ray A. Master Post 217, American Legion, Topton, Mertztown Rod & Gun Club and Fleetwood Fire Co. Nick was a kind and loving "teddy bear" who was always willing to help others. He made friends with everyone he met in his travels, making them laugh with his comedic sense of humor. Nick was a car, motorcycle and movie "buff"; handyman, woodworker, and served as the "human forklift" when anyone needed a hand. He always looked forward to pig roasts, where he would get his famous "meat sweats."  His larger than life personality will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
