My deepest condolances . I did not know him, or know your family. I just ran accross this while working my fathers side of the tree our name is Gargas also, I saw the Pic of him and he also looks like my youngest son alot . I thought we might of been related , cause the Gargas Genes show in is face , the long jawline, mouth etc. So when I opened the web site for the picture I was filled with sorrow for your family. I am so sorry for what you are going through. So young, to young to leave . When I look at his pic , I see a wonderful young man, with a gentel loving soul. I see my son, and I could only imagine the pain you are going though. With love and prayers I wish you and your family Peace.

Dearest Barbara and family may my words be of comfort to you at a time like this. I am saddened by the events that have brought you here at this time. I do want you to know that I firmly believe that Nolan is with our Heavenly Father who also loves him. Believing that will bring you comfort in your time of mourning. I also know that you will see him at a later time and your joy will be overwhelming. I have empathy for you knowing the loss of a son.

Heartfelt sympathy to the family. The sting of death is indeed strong, but God's love is stronger than death is. He has opened the way for us to live again. (John 3:16) May you find comfort in this beautiful hope.
