In Loving Memory of Nicholas Chase Bornholdt - May 10, 2013

Redlands mourns the loss of Nicholas Bornholdt, the 24-year-old son of Redlands Mayor Pro Tem Paul Foster and his wife, Juli. Bornholdt passed away unexpectedly on May 10, after suffering internal bleeding after an accident in Philadelphia. While walking home from a dinner with friends, Bornholdt, who was a master’s student at Drexel University, tripped and landed on a curb. He sustained lacerations to his liver and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors were able to revive him, but could not stop the bleeding. Bornholdt passed away early Friday morning, May 10. Bornholdt was scheduled to return home to Redlands the day he passed away, according to area news reports. He planned to fly into Ontario Airport and surprise his mother for the Mother’s Day holiday, and then attend a graduation ceremony for his girlfriend, who received her master’s degree in social work from USC. Bornholdt was studying for a master’s degree in biological sciences at Drexel University. He planned to one day attend medical school and become a medical practitioner. Bornholdt was a 2007 graduate of Redlands High School, where he played the trumpet with the school band and was a section leader in the program. He was also the editor-in-chief of the high school newspaper. Bornholdt graduated from UC Irvine and was an Eagle Scout with the Redlands Boy Scout Troop 11.
