We wondered what had happened since you did not show to work anymore and it was not until your father came to inform us about the tragic news. Very few employees possess the work ethic, friendly personality, and good heart that you had. You were loved by a family which taught you those values and made sure that your honor was not marred by coming in to explain why you did to show to work again. You not only will most certainly be missed by your family, but also by all those who were fortunate to have met you.

I was able to get to know Nick over the past few months and very heart broken to hear of him passing. Nick was one of the neatest guys I've have ever meet!! He always was a very polite and kind person!! Everytime he would tell a joke or just talk to you he would always make you laugh!! Many times we'd spend many time talking and joking about different things we had in common. He was very smart and intelligent you'd always want to hang with him because he was so much fun! If I had a son I'd want him to be just like Nick!! Nick we will miss you! I know that he is in a better place! Nick you will never know how much you touched our hearts!! My sympathy to the family you had a great son!
