Dear family,
I had the opportunity, though for a short time to work with Nick. I always enjoyed his enthusiasm, energy and was an all round great guy. I am very sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.

To Kendra, Cameron and the entire Swain Family.

Words cannot express our sadness for the loss of your father and friend. We know he loved both of you very much and was so proud to call you his Daughter and Son.

We remember the good times and keep those memories in our hearts.

Dear Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the death of your son. I worked with Nick at Palisade Construction Inc. and he was such a delightful young man. He brought laughter into our work days and I was delighted to meet his children and parents. I have since moved to Wisconsin and was shocked at the news of his death. May God give you all courage during this difficult time. I will keep Nick in my prayers always,
