My condolences to the Sanchez family during this difficult time. Although I was not close to Nick, I've known him and his sister for many years. I remember seeing him at St John Bosco when I was in 5th grade... I believe my older brother was in his class. As years went on, Nick and I had mutual friends and would see each other here and there. He was always a good guy and at the bar he always made sure my wife and I had a drink in our hand and were having a good time. I had actually randomly thought of him the day before the accident... thinking we hadn't been to the strip in a while. Rest In Peace Nick. Thanks for being you. Party with the angels

What can I say that will ease the pain of losing someone so young. I first met Nick at St. John Bosco. He was trying out for the Basketball Team. When I saw him it looked more like he was trying for Football. With his determination and hard work Nick made the team. Always polite. When I would Coach he would respond with "Yes sir or Yes Coach. I used to call him my Linebacker in Basketball. Always to hear of him working as a Bouncer. Right job for him. Your Family and Friends will miss you. R.I.P Gentle Giant

Nick, This is a moment I never saw coming, that I still am having trouble grasping.
Though you and I were once an "Us" some time ago, since then we have gone on with our lives and grew up. You never forgot what you were to me in my own personal book of life; my first love. Your first love is the sweetest and the purest most innocent love which is what you are forever going to be considered in my life. It was a love that was over a decade ago, but at this moment feels like just yesterday. As I can reminisce those years spent together, so many words spoken, so many dreams, dreams that you had, dreams that will not be brought to life now. Through the years what never changed was my wish that you were doing well and happy, and it's evident that through the years you were succeeding, as I have read for the past few days all the wonderful things everyone has to say about you. Even though we each changed from the people we once were at twenty-one/twenty-two what clearly didn't change and lasted over the years... your smile. Your contagious laugh, and your forever kind heart. I can remember our sweet intimate talks and you speaking about dreams you had for yourself when you reach old age, it makes my heart so heavy understanding you won't be able to live out those dreams, you were so young then. You were still too young now, much too young for this to happen. I am so grateful to be someone amongst so many people who have a great story to tell about you. I am so grateful that you were the first great in my life, that I get to say that about such a sweet man. There's many depths to a persons heart, and you and the memories we share will forever be etched in a corner of mine. I will never forget you. You will live on in my heart, in my memories, in great stories of you that I will proudly tell. For you.

Please enjoy heaven. I am sure your beautiful smile outshines all that is up there.

I remember staying with y'all while my mom was sick. Sneaking in puppies hoping your parents wouldn't find out. The Sanchez Family included me in every holiday and you were always a huge piece of that. Alejandra was always protected with you by her side. You treated me like a little sister when you didn't have too. You will be missed.
