Nyima Ward's obituary on Roberts Funerals stated that his family members resided in different places around the world and continued:
"He was a boy of the world, traveling extensively, who grew into a man of the earth, falling in love with farming and animals and chasing his dreams from California to Florida. It wouldn't have been unheard of to find Nyima with a stray animal he'd saved on the side of the road or calling his mom to ask about animal care tips."
Furthermore, the obituary mentioned that anyone willing to make donations can send them to The Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation. The obituary says that he used to spend his outdoors on the boat.

He mentioned that his father was involved with some campaigns for Calvin Klein and even recalled the time he worked with stylist Bill Mullen, saying that "his stuff's always great." He also recalled his childhood and the activities he was involved in and said:
"That was more as a kid. Once I was 15 and started growing my hair out, I got sent to boarding school, and I got really into skiing and extreme sports for a few years. I lived in Utah for two years. Coming from the East Coast, that was just amazing."
Nyima Ward stated that his mother tried to keep him away from the world of modeling, and he never considered building his career in this world.

Apart from his parents, Nyima Ward's survivors include his cousins, aunt, uncles, and grandparents.
