Frederick "Nick" Corvinus, III

Nick Corvinus was a remarkable man who lived an extraordinary life.

Frederick Nicholas Corvinus III, known to everyone as Nick, was born on October 1, 1947, in Newark, New Jersey to Frederick Nicholas Corvinus II and Ned Sawyer Corvinus. He passed on November 11, 2026, at the age of 79. Nick graduated from Fox Lane High School in Bedford, New York and Syracuse University. He graduated from Syracuse with a BA in History; while earning his BA he took all his electives at the Syracuse School of Fine Arts and followed with one year of graduate study. He lived in Newburyport, Massachusetts with his family.

As an Executive for Investment Management Companies, Nick got the opportunity to travel the globe. During his travels, he always stopped to observe, get curious, take photographs, and preserve the beauty of things around him in his mind’s eye. In 2011 he started selling his photographs and opened his Amesbury studio in 2015 for Fine Art Painting and Photography.

Nick was so many things, namely a dreamer, a creator, a comedian, a storyteller, and an artist—a bon vivant and raconteur. He had a huge gravitational pull, with so many people in his orbit who loved him deeply and dearly, most of all his family, Irene Corvinus (wife), Jessica Corvinus (daughter), Nicholas Corvinus (son), Dorothy (Dede) Corvinus (sister), Sally Corvinus (sister, passed in 2023), Benjamin Pushee (son-in-law), and Miles Corvinus-Pushee (grandson).

Despite a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in 2019, he never let that slow him down. In fact, he continued to travel the globe and create art. As a lifelong athlete, he also continued to cycle thousands of miles every year and participated in the Pan-Mass challenge, something he did annually since the 1990s. Everyone marveled at his positive attitude, his will, his strength, and his joy. He truly set the example for how to live life to the fullest. In his last few months, he dedicated himself to starting the Nick Rx Foundation to help cancer patients, and anyone needing a reminder, that life is for living. He wanted to give art, connection, and perspective as part of a prescription to live well. You can visit nickrx.org to see a sample of his work and get to know the man, the myth, the legend, Nick Corvinus. Family and friends are setting up the online gallery to purchase art, from which all sales will be donated to support cancer research and care.

The family is holding a private ceremony at Oak Hill Cemetery in Newburyport and planning a celebration for a life well-lived in the Spring.
