Through generous donations in memory of Clifford Rich Nyquist, the Community Church of New Boston has established a Clifford R. Nyquist Memorial Trust. The purpose of this Trust is to promote youth leadership, academic and athletic achievement, and community service. By awarding regular grants, we intend to invest in the most important resources for the future of our community - our young people. Clifford Nyquist was a beloved son, brother and friend who died tragically at the age of 15 in an accident on November 7, 2004, coincidentally the same day as the dedication of the new annex of the Community Church of New Boston. Although intelligent, athletic, ambitious, tenacious, competitive and accomplished, he was selfless, and had the special ability to befriend, encourage and support all who came into his life. Cliff was baptized and confirmed in the Community Church and had a deep fondness for it and for those who worshiped here. Cliff would be honored, yet humbled to know that this community youth leadership program has been made possible by the generosity of those who loved and admired him. His life, love, and friendship can never be replaced but his spirit and encouragement will live in the church and community through those who will lead through the grants of this program named for him, and dedicated to his wonderful memory.
