Nick Charles Vergos, 67 years old, died Thursday, September 5, 2019, at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, TN, following sudden complications from an infection exacerbated by his recent and courageous battle with cancer. He left this earth the way he lived it – with passion, enthusiasm, warmth, humility, humor and above all, love and a deep desire to bring joy to all he met.
Born April 22, 1952, in Memphis, Mr. Vergos was the middle child of Anastasia and Charlie Vergos, who founded the world-famous Rendezvous BBQ restaurant 71 years ago. It remains one of the oldest and most successful restaurants in Memphis.
