I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your dear Nick.
Angela, I remember some of the parenting tales we used to share when we both had 2 young boys at home. As they say, the days are long but the years are short. I only met Nick a couple of times, but was impressed with the way you and Nick seemed so connected. The shared love and support between mother and son was clear.

My sincere condolences to you and your family.

I'll always remeber the first time I talked to Nick.. I was coming in for an 'All Shook Up' rehearsal and I was early. He was sitting outside with a guitar and he said "Well look who's here!" I looked behind me because I thought for sure he was talking to someone he knew.. he kind of chuckled and said "I was talking to you, Macey." I'm not sure why I was so stunned.. I guess I was still nervous... and excited.. and shocked I had even made it into a show at HTI. I chuckled back and told him, "Sorry.. That was awkward, I didn't even think you knew me. I still kinda feel like I don't belong here." The next few words are my fondest and strongest memory of him.. He looked ahead and told me, "I guess nobody belongs out here...but in here? (He thumb pointed behind him) we all belong." Of course I did what I do best and fumbled over the heartfelt moment with a whitty come back like, "well that's because rehearsal starts in like 5 mins". We both laughed and I went in.

I wish I was better, in that moment.. I wish I had taken the time to let him know I really truly loved that he said that to me. That he gave me confidence to feel like I did belong there... Small interactions, laughs, fumbling dance moves when our usual dance partners were MIA and a bar night (or two) of karaoke, drinks and more laughs, and just like that? I was a small passing in Nick's life. Maybe he didn't even remeber me? Or what he said to me? But what matters most is that I remember, and I will continue too. Nick was a blessing in so many people's lives, big or small. Sure... I wish I could have been more sincere in that moment or memorable to him, but mostly I just wish he knew what he meant to everyone around him. Everyone he came across, and sang too, danced too.. smiled at...? Nick was a blessing to many. I was truly sorry to hear about his passing. My deepest condolences to his family and his friends. Thank you, Nick for being a special moment in my life. I'll remeber you always.

Nick, ever the entertainer...... we are so very saddened that your darkness overtook your shining star. You were loved more than you knew and will be missed by all who's lives you touched.

To quote one of Nick's favourite movies
"There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour.” ~ Dickens ~ A Christmas Carol

I hope you have found your peace
Love Kelly, Dan & Rayanne

Nick was a kind, gentle soul. He was a pleasure to teach and, more importantly, a joy to have in my class. Over the past few years he would send me various songs he'd interpreted in different genres. "Any suggestions?" He asked me a few months ago. "Yeah. I always thought, 'For the Benefit of Mr. Kite' would make a killer punk song." The version he sent me far exceeded anything I could've done. I was VERY impressed. Here was his talent on full display. Actually, his true talent lay in his ability to make people feel good in his presence. He had the soul of an angel.

"I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that." - Robin Williams

Nick made us laugh! Always! He always used to argue with me about Heaven. And he would say "we're all just a little bit of stardust, isn't that magical enough?"
So when I look at the stars, my Nickus, I'll think of you. And I'll miss you everyday.
