Nick and I went to middle school together at Saint Matthews in Gahanna and played soccer together. He was the type of person that could brighten your day with a quick joke or his contageous smile. He was a tremondous athlete who you always wanted on your team.

I met Nick just a time or two through my friend, his mother, Deb, but found him to be a lovely, outgoing young man with lots of promise for the future. I’m so sorry we won’t see the wonderful life he had in front of him.
