Well here it is almost 2 years later and it hasn't gotten any easier.... I still miss you more and more each day. May used to be my favorite month because we would always make sure to share our birthdays when you were here. Now, I look that I will be turning 33, the age you were when you were taken from us and that's hard for me. We drove by your house tonight and I just cried. I miss you so much and not a day goes by that I don't think or talk about you. I know you are with me everyday. We love and miss you more than you will ever know. I hope you are at ace brother because it sure isn't the same without you here. Here is to our birthday month! I love you so much!

Well, today marks one year since you have been gone & I honestly thought I would be able to handle it better than what I did. I couldn't stop crying, missing you, wishing you were here... I wish you were still here experiencing everything with us and watching these aweomse kids grow up. I know you are watching down, smiling, and proud of them all. I wish so much you could be here today and life would still be the same... Maybe next year will be better.... I know this pain will NEVER go away. I just hope that I can truly learn to live with it this way and be okay. I will get there.... I love you so much Nick you were always soooooo loved and always will be and never be missed!!!!

Happy 34th Birthday in Heaven! I can't believe it has almost been a year since you have been gone. The pain has never left and I still miss you more and more everyday! I always want to pick up my phone and call or text you to talk or tell you something funny! Or this last week when I found out that I am having identical twin boys... I knew I could have called you and you would have been excited but would have given me crap too! I wish you could be here for this experience with me and meet them too. You were always so good about making people feel special. Today you deserve to feel special and you deserve to know how love and missed you are. I went to see your precious baby girl Claire last night and hearing her say dadda was amazing but yet broke my heart because you should be here watching her grow! I wish you would have been able to meet your niece Paige, you would love her. Brooke & Blake ask about you and miss you more than you know too. We all love and miss you more than ever. I hope you are up there today enjoying your day like you always did!!!! May you Rest In Peace until I see you again. I love you so much Brother and I will always will. You are in my heart forever. I hope you have found your peace.... I love you so much Nicholas Ryan Schmutte!

It's been almost 4 months & I still miss you more & more everyday... I don't know when it gets easier or if it will ever get better. Such a sadness and emptiness I feel inside everyday. I wish you would have had the chance to met your niece Paige, you would love her just like you love all your children, nieces, nephews, & your entire family & friends. You had such a big heart and awesome personality. It's not the same here with you gone, I wait for you to call or text me about something stupid and crack up... but it doesn't come. :( I wish you would have came to us.. you were never alone & still never will be. You are loved and missed by so many! I know you are watching over us! Keep giving me signs and showing me you are there.
RIP Nick, I love you.xoxoxo

Nick was great guy. I remember one day after the flood in west va we were eating lunch together and our chicken still had feathers on it. And we just laughed uncontrollably.

I had not had the opportunity to meet Nick, but as a Marian alum who shared his name, I followed his baseball career at Marian. I was shocked to see the notice of Nick's death in the newspaper. I am so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family in your time of grief.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Nick's family. I am so sad that his children will not get to grow up to see what a great person he was. I know that everyone will keep him alive through their stories. He was definitely a character, but a truly good person. He will be missed.
