Nicholas Renk

I love you dad, forever. -your daughter

Nick's time in our lives was filled with his loving nature, his awesome hugs, and his quirky personality. We hope now, he truly knows the peace he so much needed in his life.
Our memories of Nick will have a special place in our hearts.
Peace!

We lost touch, however, we never stopped loving you and Donna. You will always be in our hearts.

Love Aunt Kathy and Uncle Rob
Your Minnesota family via WA

To my precious nephew, Nicholas,

Nicholas, your life will always hold special significance to me because it was on that journey to Hawaii to see you as a four month old baby that I met my husband of twenty years - your Uncle Tim. Our five
children, your cousins - Joshua, Jeffrey, Joseph, Sarah, and Elizabeth have been such amazing blessings to us. How I wish you could have known them. Jeff and Joseph shared your passion for performing on stage through dramatic arts.

Nick,...

Donna: I am so sad for you and Nick's friends to have to go through this at such a young age. Please know that during this time your family in MN are thinking of you. Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you.

I signed this book on June 15th with a message for Nick. After seeing all the friends and family you left behind, I put together an audio/video farewell goodbye tribute. I posted it as a bulletin on MySpace, however, I am only able to send it to my personal friends. If anyone would like a copy, please contact me and I will send you one.
Nick was and forever shall remain....a light in the storm, and a true friend. Huntclub Farm will be a bit darker this year without him.

Nick was always the older brother in my life. I have never met anyone as great as him. There will never be anyone who can be better than him. He was one of a kind. From him shooting me with air soft, to helping him find a place to live. Nick and I always had eachother's backs. Nick was a great guy. He was more than a friend to me, he was my family.
Nick changed my life forever.
Nick you will forever be in our hearts.

Nick, I'm not going to go into detail about the impact you had on me and my life because I'm pretty sure you already know how much you have meant to me. Like everyone else has already said, you always went out of your way to make sure everyone was okay... whether they were your best friend or a complete stranger. That has always been one of my favorite things about you, your unconditional love for all of God's creatures and your loving, crazy, free spirit. I'm sad we lost touch after high...

Nick, I may not have known you as long or as well as some of your other friends but you still affected my life. Going into high school, I was shy and generally kept to myself. I then went into Kellam drama and you were one of the first new people who befriended me. I saw how crazy and funny you were, and I'd like to think that you helped me come out of my shell. I just wish that I could have seen you before this tragedy occurred. I will miss you and all of your humor.
