I met Nick only twice at IU. I don't attend the same school but would visit often. He was part of a group of friends I was introduced to late in the first semester of our freshman year. During the first night, he had played his favorite movie that contained a lot of singing, dancing, and performances (I don't remember the title) and was so excited to show someone who had never seen it before. He reiterated interesting facts about the movie and pointed out noteworthy actors and actresses. He was always--ALWAYS--so generous whenever anyone came into his room ranging from offering juice in his fridge to giving up sitting space for others to play video games. It makes me absolutely sick that I will never get one more chance to see his bright face, blonde hair, or luminescent smile. It's absolutely insane that he barely started his sophomore year with us and I didn't even get to see him. However, from this moment on, there needs to be more recollection than mourning because I know if nick were still around, he would be in pain to see this many people frowning.

I have known Nicholas since kindergarten. We have played on multiple teams together and we always saw each other and talked in school. We have lost a great man and to me a greater friend. You will be missed.
