Gilbert passed away after suffering from neurofibromatosis.

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumors on the nerve tissues throughout your body. There is no known cure for the illness.

Nick’s genetic disorder progressed immensely as he overwent multiple surgeries in 2022.

Some even left the 26-year-old in the hospital for over a month.

The Gilbert family established a nonprofit in 2017 to fund groundbreaking NF research.

NF Forward co-funds different initiatives for research, including vision restoration and gene therapy.

Jennifer Gilbert, Nick’s mother, is the organization’s president and board member.

According to Nick’s obituary, he died peacefully in his home with his family.
