NICHOLAS NOURI Obituary

Nouri, Nicholas "Baba", had a triad statement for what he stood for and that was "Love, Laughter, and Family". His family and friends can celebrate that he found peace on November 12, 2010. For a 20 year old young man he managed to experience more than most people while touching the lives of everyone he met. From hunting in Idaho, bodyboarding at Dana Strands, and snowboarding where ever there was a hill of any size. If there wasn't a big enough hill close by he has been known to board off roofs. He grabbed life head on and never looked back. To try and describe Nicks essence in a few short words is impossible. He was bigger than words. He filled our hearts with love that will last forever. When he found peace he left behind his mom, Lisa Griffin Katz; brother, Alexander Griffin Nouri; father, Hasan Nouri; step-father, Guy Katz; Nonna Vera Griffin; his uncles, aunts and cousins who spent so many fun summers with him up in Idaho. Floating the Snake River, riding Pee Wee the mule up the mountain, and slurping Mangos in Mexico are just a few of the memories we will hold in our hearts. We will celebrate his life on Thursday, November 18 at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point at 2:30 p.m. We will share stories, food and memories and at sunset say goodbye to our Baba.

Nicks Family,
I had the pleasure of sharing a meal with both Nick & Alex when visiting my son Matt in Bend. It was clear that Nick loved his family dearly and held you all so close to his heart. His respect and appreciation for his parents was evident in his caring manner and way his eyes lit up when he spoke of his relationships with each of you.
I was so sad to hear about his passing and pray that your family heals together and finds strength in knowing that he loved you all very much. Rochelle Bochner

Dearest Nouri Family,
I will never forget Nicholas, aka "Baba" and the many times my brother and I would hug and kiss his cheeks, when he was a little baby boy. Hearing his death devastated many. My deepest condolences to each of you and your families.
