Nicholas Magnuson Obituary

Nicholas "Nick" R.
Magnuson
Feb. 11, 1980 - Nov. 23, 2010

On the morning of November 23rd, our lives were forever changed when our son Nicholas died. The pain we feel is unbearable. Nicholas was born at Everett General on February 11, 1980 to Richard and Liz. In August of 1981, he became a big brother to Amy. As they grew older, the bond between them grew stronger. He could tease and pick on her, but nobody else had better try. As I sit here writing this, I recall him speeding along on his bike yelling, "Come on, Aim!" to his little sis who somehow managed to follow him on her Big Wheel. We would hear him yelling to us to look out the window and many times, to our horror, he would be doing just one more of his many stunt man routines on his bike flying down the hill. He loved music and could frequently be found dancing in front of a stereo speaker and of course, his Aim (as he always called her) could be found in front of the other speaker following Big Brother's lead.
We moved to Gold Bar in 1989 and built our log home. Nicholas had his own tool belt and helped Dad with everything. He had no fear and was always up a ladder or hammering something. School was not a big thing to Nicholas, his four favorite things being art, shop, lunch and recess. He graduated from Sultan High School in 1998 and worked at the Snohomish Mill for 11 years. Thank you to Linda and Connie for caring about him. He touched many people's lives and would help anybody, with no questions asked. Unfortunately, some chose to take advantage of this and to those, I say one word... "Karma".
As Nicholas grew older, he acquired a need for more knowledge and spent many hours engrossed in the Discovery, History and Learning channels. He loved to star gaze and discuss formations when we sat around our fire pit. I know for sure there is one more really bright star now. He loved to ride his motorcycle and talk about cars. Sunday football was also a big deal. He enjoyed playing pool and darts with "the old man" and Aim. Nicholas had joined the Eagles, SV 4149 and became a member of a dart team there with Scott. He had a natural talent to make people laugh. To know him was to love him, as many discovered, and they all adopted him in one way or another.
Nicholas loved playing Rock Band with Debbie Hunt who was his "other mother" and her son, Scott Malmquist, who was his best friend and like a brother to him. Nicholas loved you both! Thank you for loving him!
Nicholas is survived by his parents, Richard and Liz; his sister and "forever buddy", Aim; Grandma, Aunt Becky and Uncle "Bean"; many family members back in England and across the U.S. He leaves numerous friends. Thank you to his special friends, Rose, Monika and Ryan for their love and tremendous support at this terrible time. We all love you! Thank you, Tami, Jolene and Kaye for keeping things going. Chloe and Sofie are looking for you. We will continue to take care of your squirrels, chipmunks and birds as you loved to do.
I hope your reunion with everyone that has passed on before was a great one. We will especially miss your smile, your big blue eyes, your laugh and, of course, your Pillsbury Doughboy impersonation. You always knew how to bring a smile to our faces. We will reunite one day and, to use one of your favorite sayings to describe how we all feel about that, we all say, "I like it. I like it a lot." Until then, know we all love you so much. Goodbye, little man!
Please join us for a celebration of Nicholas' life on Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. at Cascade Community Church, 14377 Fryelands Boulevard SE, Monroe, WA. A potluck will follow. Please bring your memories and stories of Nicholas to share with us. In lieu of flowers, there has been a donation account established at the Monroe branch of Chase Bank. For additional information, please contact 360-794-8534, option 3.

Here we are, 10 years after the worst day of our lives. I have gotten to the point of wishing that November 23rd didn't exist any more. It is meant to be a time of thanksgiving, but not feeling it, more like a permanent emptiness, except for being thankful for your birth and the time we had you here with us. Also, for your sister, brother-in-law, nephew Nicholas Nathan and niece Mia Paisley. We often talk about you and how much fun there would be with you in their lives. I know you would have a great time with Nicholas and Mia. You couldn't ask for a better nephew or niece. Please watch over them and let them know you are with them. I know your sister would like to hear from you too.

God bless you and we look forward to the day we are all together again.
Love, Dad and Mom

Today is meant to be one of happiness and thanksgiving, but not so much for us, since it is 7 years ago today that we experienced the worst day of our lives in losing you. Supposedly, changes over time are meant to heal the pain. The only thing in life that is permanent is change. It happens forever and not always for the better. Our pain of losing you will never go away, but we are thankful for your brother-in-law Jeremia, nephew Nicholas Nathan and now niece Mia Paisley. It is sad that you aren't here to show them what a great brother-in-law and uncle we know you would be. You would have so much fun with them, and of course spoil your nephew and niece to no end. Other than their last name of Joy, they will never know what joy they are missing without you. We can only hope and pray to all be together again.

Love always,
Dad, Mom, Aim and Chloe

Our Son Nicholas,

It's now 5 years since the worst day of our lives when you were taken from us. Even though there may be fewer tears, the pain of such a large void in our world will never go away. Things like this aren't meant to happen and we feel cheated out of being able to experience life with you here. We certainly can't predict the future, but only speculate on what a great life you would have, just knowing you from the nearly 31 years we were blessed to have you with us. We know you would be proud of your little sis Amy. She misses you so much and has done very well for herself in the last 5 years; buying a house, new car, marrying your brother-in-law Jeremia, and just giving birth to your new nephew, Nicholas Nathan. He is 8 days old today and is a beautiful baby just like you when you were born. As I am sure you know, Nathan was Mia's brother. Having both names will make him extra special to a lot of people. Mia and Amy are as proud of him as we were with you and we all look forward to a great life together.
We love and miss you so much.

Forever loved and never forgotten,
Dad and Mom

Hey Nicholas.Well another holiday season came and went.It was a very quiet and uneventful time with just dad and I here.We did not even have a tree or decorations up.We did skype with your sissy and Jeremia though. The exciting news is that Jeremia proposed on NYE and gave Amy a beautiful ring.She got hired on at the bank in a lead position already and they all really like her. At the moment she is really sick along with just about everyone else. It is also hard to believe that it was 2 years ago today that Grandma died. We do so love you little man and every new year we start I feel as though we are leaving you further and further behind.We all miss you so desparately and it does not get any easier.Hope you are OK and with the family and friends that have all left us.I love you forever and a day and whole bunch more my darling boy.Always in our thoughts.Much love MUM and DAD xoxoxo

Aim and Mia came home for a few days and it was great. They went back to snow and were stuck at home.Nobody could get out and Highways were all closed because of the severe amounts of snow and storms.Things are going well for them. We just plod on and take one day at a time.Our lives are forever changed with the loss of you my darlin. Hope you are OK and looking after everyone with you. It goes without saying you will be making them all smile and laugh. we love you so much and miss you even more.I love you FOREVER AND A DAY AND THEN A WHOLE BUNCH MORE....AWHOLE BUNCH MORE !!!!MUM XOXOXO ;)

Hello my Darling Boy. Another month has come and gone....how the time goes by.We have had some terrible weather lately.We all know about the Gold Bar winds but they really were blowing and the rain was not much better. Yesterday was gorgeous and today...guess what ??? Dad and I are taking off for a few days.It is our 37th anniversary on the 19th.We got the motorhome all packed up ready and we will be heading for the Shores. Your little Gizmo is running all over the place spinning her donuts,She knows we are doing something so she sticks to us like glue so she will not be left behind....as if !!!!! Amy is busy trying to settle in her new surroundings and they will be moving to a new place April.That at least made her happier. Dad and I are really lost with no kids here anymore other than Gizmo of course.I miss you so much. I have an appointment so I have to get ready for that.My shoulder is still painful.So...until next time, I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY AND YOU KNOW IT...A WHOLE BUNCH MORE.Kisses and many hugs to keep you safe.XOXOXO MUM.

Happy Birthday Nicholas. What a great day it was 34 years ago with the birth of our first born. I couldn't have been more proud as a new father of a beautiful son. Now it's another year without you here to celebrate our birthdays together. Each year I miss you more and always think of what could have been. Mom, Aim, and I have a lot of great memories, but it's just not the same without you here.

Until we are together again, love always, Dad.

February 11, 2014

Happy Birthday to you My Little Man. Wow...you would be 34 today..that really makes me me feel older than ever.It is 9.35am and you were born at 9.46am.We are going to Amys to finish up the last few things for her before she leaves next week.Jeremiah is coming back this week so they can drive together.You would like her new car.It is more practical for what she will need than the Audi was.Amy was saying to me how nice everything looks all freshly painted and the yard looking so nice...hard to leave her house. She has renters moving in the day after they leave so there is no down time and the money will be very welcome.It is great that the mortgage will be paid for two years for her.I hope everything works out well for them.Jeremiah is doing well at his job but he looks forward to being able to coming back here to the PNW.He considers this as home.They are working on some new sites here in Washington so that would be great if that worked out for Jeremiah.We had some snow on Saturday night and it has been windy and wet..just like Winnie the Pooh days...yuk !!!Today seems to be very calm thankfully. We really have to be even more careful here now with Chloe.The Coyotes are all over the place.There were three in the yard the other day and they just lounge around as though they own the place.Everybody is complaining about them.They are so sneaky.I suppose I had better start and get ready to go. We miss you more everyday that passes by.We talk about you all the time.I guess that is our way of keeping you with us at home.I hope Grandma is keeping you in line.Take care of everyone that is there with you and tell them all we miss and love them. Happy Birthday my little darling.Watch over your Little Sissy on her travels.Until we meet again...I Love You Forever and a day and of course A WHOLE BUNCH MORE.Be good to yourself and everyone else.My tears are flowing of course.Many of them are sad tears because we do not have you here with us. There are also many tears of sheer joy because we were blessed with you as our son and you made us all laugh so much of the time.Your smiling face and constant wit is missed very much by all.HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DARLING BOY....WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH !!!! MUM XXXX.

December 28, 2013

Hello My Darling Boy.Christmas came and went.It was just the three of us and of course we talked about you the whole time.Amy is not sure if she is nervous or excited about the move..Stay really close to her at all times please.Your decorations are sitting at the top of the tree as usual.Hope you are safe and happy and not causing too much trouble up there.You are greatly missed.There is no Merry or Happy now but we do the best we can.Amy is so lonely without you to tease her.I Love you forever and a day and a whole bunch more my Darling Boy.Almost another new year...2014.Take care of yourself and everyone there with you.Give our love to them all.Until we meet again. MUM xoxoxo

Hello Little Man.As we figured it was a very hard day on the 23rd as it is every year.Went to Aims for a couple of nights and hung out there.We fixed dinner and went through the motions but it just will never be the same without you. This will be the last Turkey day with Aim for a couple of years.She is getting a little nervous now as time is drawing closer.I know her big brother will always be with her and watching over her so that helps.My thoughts are always with you.It is 4am and here I am sitting at the computer talking to you.Well my Little Darling stay safe and happy and enjoy family time with everyone there.Until we meet again...as you already know....I Love YOU...Forever and a day and yes...you know it...A WHOLE BUNCH MORE!!!!MUM xoxoxoxo

November 16, 2013

Hello My Darling Boy.Time really flies by.We can hardly believe it is almost three years since you left us.The pain is as real if not worse.So much is happening now.Jeremiah is in Buffalo at a new job.Amy will be going to join him in February.I guess this will be a two year deal approx.Amy really has concerns about going but as she says they are getting married and they have to stick together.This is a good career move for him and so of course for their future.He loves it here and wants to be here but this was a necessary move to be made. Needless to say Dad and I are crushed but understand.We do have the motorhome and are planning trips to Buffalo.I am retiring next year so we can have all the freedom we need.It was bad enough losing you...now Amy leaving...Ouch!!!Poor Jeremiah...I think he was scared as heck to tell us about this.I can not really say too much taking into consideration the fact that I left England at the age of 24 to come here and marry Dad.Amy was saying to me the other day how she has not even had a housewarming party yet for her new house and she is having to rent it out and pack to move. Oh well..I think all will be fine.I had shoulder surgery and am healing OK but can not believe how much discomfort there has been.Dad has been busy with wood and yard stuff and I feel bad I can not do more to help,Thanksgiving is just round the corner again.It just does not hold any joy for us anymore because of it being the time we lost you.Amy will be here.She is taking a trip to NY to see Jeremiah next month for 10 days.He will come back to assist with the move of furniture etc.. U Haul..in February or whenever she gets things arranged. Our world was turned upside down when we lost you and now once again beacause your little Aimster is making a big move. The snow is on its way and the temperature is really playing havoc with us.I was just looking at the photos of you and Aim building that famous Snowman.How we all laughed that day!!! I hope you are OK and that you are with all the family and friends who have left us too. Can not believe that it is almost a year since Grandma died !!Well my Darling Boy I guess I should get busy and get something done around here.As always..until we meet again I Love you Forever and a day and a WHOLE bunch more..and yes that is a lot. MUM XOXOXO

Hello Little Man, Well, the weather took a turn for the worse and the heavens just opened to the max.Dad and Aim went to the Seahawks game last night and had a good time.I felt for sure they would be soaked but Dad said it was dry there. We were just laughing at the huge amount of pine cones at the bottom of the big tree.Your little buddies are working overtime to get a good stash in for Fall.The little Chipmunk cracks us up.I had a really hard day yesterday...got some disturbing medical news and have to go through some tests.My surgery was canceled because of it. I feel quite worried about it all but this too will be handled as best as possible. Dad and I are heading out to do some errands and I want to pick up a few things for the motorhome. We so wish you were able to share this with us. I have a feeling you will not be too far away from us though. Watch over your little Sis.She misses you so much and we talk about you all the time. Help her with her problems as much as you can.I know you will find a way to get through to her...maybe through her dreams.We all love you and miss you so very much and I can honestly say it will never be easier no matter how much time goes by.The day we lost you is the day my heart truly broke.Maybe that was the start to the medical issues I have. Better get busy I suppose.Gone but never forgotten and always loved. I love you forever and a day and yeah thats right...A WHOLE BUNCH MORE !!! MUM XXXXX

August 19, 2013

Hello My Darling Boy.You have been on my mind so much today...of course...you are on my mind constantly.Just wanted to tell you how much I love and miss you all the time.I saw someone the other day that looked so much like you,driving through Sultan. Needless to say it came as such a shock and I think I wept most of the day. I love you forever and a day and a whole bunch more....yep...that truly is a LOT !!!! MUM xxxxx

August 14, 2013

Hello My Little Man.Wanted to tell you Dad and I finally got a motorhome. As you know it is something we have wanted for years.Amy and Mia went with us and your little Chloe gave it a good sniff test.She was so funny running from one end to the other.We get to pick it up tomorrow.Needless to say we are so very sad we will not be able to share this with you.However you know you are always in our thoughts and I have a sneaky suspicion that you will not be too far away from us.I Love You so much my Darling Boy.Have to go to work again.Dad is playing horseshoes tonight.Until next time....I Love you forever and a day and then a whole bunch more !!! MUM xxxx

Hello My Darling Boy.We are definitely getting our share of sun.It is so hot...just the way you always liked it. We are going over to your sissys house today.Mia called and invited us over for a BBQ.How I wish you were able to be there with us....although Aim and I are convinced that you are not to far away from us when we do anything like that !!! You would really love her house.The next big job to be done is to paint throughout the house. We spent quite a long time looking at colors.Aim really misses you and wishes you were still here to share everything.Well I need to get ready for an appointment so I have to cut our time a little short this time.We talk about you constantly and always will...never to be forgotten.Hope you are with all the family and friends that have also left us.Tell Grandma and Grandpa...Golembek and Magnuson we love them as we do everyone else.Miss and love you so much My Darling Boy.As always I Love You forever and a day and then a whole bunch more...we all do !!!!Mum Dad and Aim Chloe and Sophie xxxx :)

May 27, 2013

Hello My Little Man. Today is Memorial Day and we are heading for the cemetery and then on to your sissy.Unfortunately everyday is Memorial day for us since you left us.It has been two and a half years already and I have cried on every single one of them.Dad and I went out to dinner with some friends last night and on the way back just at the start of the four lanes, a beautiful Doe walked right out in front of me and there was not a thing I could do about it.Its back legs were and probably its back were very badly broken.It was pouring with rain and the poor thing was so desperate.It managed to pull itself into the grass.I was worried it was going to go back into traffic so I stayed there with it.I must have been quite a sight standing there crying and telling her how sorry I was. Dad called 911 and they had someone come out.There was obviously nothing they could do other than shoot her and end her suffering.So we stayed until we knew it was done and that was pretty traumatic.So... My Darling Boy I hope you look for that Doe and take care of her there with you.You always were a softy and so kind with animals.There is not a moment I do not think about you.We all love you so very much and miss you even more...our lives forever changed.Hope Grandma is happier now she is with you and the rest of the family there.We are lost without you my darling. Until next time...we all love you forever and a day and then some more. MUM xxxx

Hello my little man.We were talking about you last night at darts and all of your antics.Dad and Keith are partners.They had a Jaeger bomb before they started last night in your honor.Personally I think when they said it was their aiming fluid they might have been a littlle off somewhere.There were a lot of missed shots but they had a lot of fun and that is the main thing..Amy is moved into her house and dad and I have been helping sort little problems out for her. Your picture has pride of place on the fridge door.You get lots of kisses when we walk by. You would be so proud of her...we are!!! Mia is in New York right now and ready to come home.He says his home is here now and that he feels like a visitor there.Be good to have him back again. One of his brothers is coming back with him for a visit so that will be pretty nice for him to show him around a little here.We all miss you so very much and I relive that day over and over in my mind.I will never be the same again..none of us will be. We talk about you all the time and tell stories about things you did and how funny you were.Hope you are taking care of Grandma and everyone else there with you.Never forgotten..Love you forever and a day and then some !!!MUM XXX :) :)

March 1, 2013

Hello my darling boy.I wanted to tell you how much I love you and miss you.Days seem to roll into months and years so quickly and they all are emptier because you are not here. We constantly talk about you and the things you did to make us all laugh. It was a natural talent that you had. Hope you are making grandma and the rest of the clan there with you laugh. Take care of each other.Aim has finally found a house to buy and is doing paperwok now. Things should be done by end of March and then she will be moving in. I am glad she has Jeremia with her. I am so excited for her moving on to the next chapter of her life...however...I dread the emptiness there will be in our house with the both of you gone from here. I know I can talk to her and visit her in Marysville...if only we could still see you and visit with you. Keep a good watch over your little sissy.She loves and misses you so much...we all do. Our lives will never be the same without you my little man. Take care of yourself and all who are with you. Let everyone know how much we love them too. I love you forever and a day and a whole bunch more...Mum XXXX

My Darling Boy. Two years already..730 days without you.I have cried on every one of them. You would think I would run out of tears,but I guess it is safe to say that will not happen.I need them for the next 365 days. On several occasions I have seen guys that look like you,either the way they walked or dressed or just had a chubby smiling face like yours.It really takes me back and brings on the tears. I still wake up at night and go out into the living room,sit in my chair in the darkness and talk to you about everything.Chloe is normally not to far behind me and curls up in the chair at the side of me.She still goes into your room and stashes her biscuits and bones and looks for you.I always wonder what she thinks about you disappearing so suddenly.She still likes to play stick.Amy has a lovely boyfriend now and they are very happy together.He is definitely one of the family now.You two would have got along so well.We talk about you all the time.Jeremia (or Mia as we call him)also knows what it is like to lose a brother so he can relate to Aim and how she feels.He bought some beautiful roses yesterday for us.When I watch Mia playing with Chloe and I hear her barking it brings back so many memories of the hours you spent with her.My Darling Boy...I miss you so so very much!!!!! Grandma talks about you all the time and tells me she is ready to go and be with you.She is not doing so well at all and has slowed down a lot.I t is like someone flipped a switch and she changed. Losing you took a lot out of her.We just had a second Memorial Dart Shoot for you at the club.There were a lot of people that showed up and I think they all had a good time.Amy and Ken were partners again and yes they won again. Dad actually drew for a partner and played with someone called Nick.Can you believe that ??? I made a big batch of your favorite cheese dip and took it down with chips and it got inhaled really quickly.Mia made his speciality dip too. I met a girl at the shoot that went to school with you and she was really upset because she had only recently found out about you dying.Uncle Bean was there too.He really enjoys darts.We got some Medalist boards in now and Dad and Uncle Bean will be playing.Dad has also got into the Horseshoes too.Our lives have forever been changed by the loss of you.We all try to help each other get through day by day.Holidays are really bad.Thanksgiving just brings everything flowing back. when people say 'Happy Thanksgiving' it makes me want to scream because I know that will never happen again.We just go through the motions.I miss you standing next to me taking in deep breaths of the dinners aroma while rubbing your belly and of course uttering your famousYums.I miss your dirty laugh,your mischeiviousness,your beautiful blue eyesand hearing, I love you mum.We talk about you constantly.You might be gone but you will never be forgotten. Ryan Asplund and Jason Roesler both named their new baby boys Nicholas.We were so pleased to hear that. Well My Darling Boy,I hope you are safe,happy and without pain.There are many family and friends that passed on before you so I hope you are all together now.You would be so proud of your little Sis. She is doing very well and is finally happy, with her Mia.She misses her Nicholas so much though.We just try to do the best we can without you.Please know you are missed and oh so loved....forever and a day Little Man!!! With neverending love..your MUM.

Happy Birthday Nicholas.
Here it is, another year without you to celebrate our birthdays together. Birthdays are meant to be fun times, but for me it mostly means just getting older, and without you, even faster. Thursday was interesting though. I was determined that Aim wasn't going to beat me in darts and I won. We all wished you were there. Dart league isn't the same without you to keep it going. I'll have a shot of Jager for you today.

Always loving and missing you.
Dad

Merry Christmas Nick,
Sure miss your big blue eyes and your sense of humor. Scott and I have a really hard time playing Rock Band without you. Like how you couldn't play "Vasoline", and how you got mad if I outscored you on the crummy bass when you had more notes on lead. We have both stuck to the darts even tho that is not the same either. We finally got rid of the "BB extractor" and we are cleaning up the mess. You are probably laughing at that right about now. Just between me & you, it was so the right time to do it, and no regrets either. Well, my little man, hope all is well with you, Jeff, & Cheryl and keep the light on for us.
Love you & miss you,
Your Other Mother

November 23, 2011

Even though it's already a year today, the pain of our loss doesn't go away. The love from your family and many friends, is so strong that it never ends.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we will always grieve your absence, but I am thankful for the time you were here, that you influenced so many lives, and all who know you have good things to say about you and pleasent things to remember. I am also thankful that you are free of pain and aggravation. Also, that Lilly (Fly Blow), or as you called her, Flea Fart, is with you to look after for your Aunt Becky. That is a great comfort for her now.
We just had the first annual Nick Magnuson Memorial Dart Shoot at the Eagles, which Amy and Ken won, with Uncle Martin and Scott taking third. Everyone was "good to go", had a great time and wants to do it again. Unfortunately, Brandon and I didn't do so well. And as you would say, "Sorry about your bad luck". See what you started? But Aim and I have been doing very well at darts because of you. There are plans for other things at the club that you wanted to see happen.
I miss you and think of you every day since the worst day of my life.
Love always,
Dad

To you my big brother, I miss you every second of every day. Life is hard to deal with without you around. A very thoughtful friend sent me this quote & I immediately thought of you. I hope that you are near us whenever we think of you XOXO

Happy Birthday My Other Son!
Here's the poem I wrote for you and I promised your Dad I would put it in your guest book.
To My Other Son

Our little man has gone somewhere
Where we do not know
We hope it's where there's music
And fun, with darts to throw.

We hope he can feel the wind
And the sun upon his face
Where it is easier than our world
Somewhere at a slower pace.

Somewhere pain free and happy
No worries and or doubt
Somewhere things are abundant
Where he will never do without.

We'll miss his big blue eyes
And the laughter that he brought
We'll miss his constant teasing
And the friendship we all sought.

Our lives these days are emptier
A void that can't be filled
No explanations for going
So young a life has stilled.

And so we will remember him
He touched us like no other
Our steadfast friend, beloved son
And very loyal brother.

I miss you so much son. I will always miss how much laughter there was when we were together. Our world was a better place with you in it.
Your other Mother.

I'm so sorry. I hoped the day would come that I get to go back and visit. I'm so lucky to have had Nick in my life. I love that guy like my brother and you all as family. I have great memories of the times we spent together . Forever in my heart, I love you Nick.

February 11, 2011

Happy Birthday Little Man. I still have not been able to understand or accept what happened on November 23rd and don't think I ever will. Days pass and by some miracle I manage to put one foot in front of the other. My heart is in pieces yet it continues to feel the neverending LOVE I have for you. My life will never be the same without you. You affected so many peoples lives by just being you. Your smile, infectious laugh and goofy faces are missed so much and are still a major topic of conversation.
We are having a little party tonight at the shop to celebrate Dads birthday and the day God gave you to us, February 11, 1980. I still do not understand why He took you from us and never will.
Happy Birthday my darling boy. Hope you are safe and with everybody you love. Keep on doing what you do so well, caring about others and making them smile. I talk to you everyday and hope you hear me. Chloe and Sophie love you and still look for you. I just looked at the clock and it is 9:46am, the time you were born. My tears flow constantly and then a memory makes me smile.
My darling boy, may you be at peace with everything, experience much joy and keep your star just a little brighter than the others so I know you are alright and which one to look at and talk to.
I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!

Your Buddy - Mum XXXX
Your Pals - Chloe & Sophie

Happy 31st Birthday to my big brother! We will be celebrating your life & all the hilarious memories that we all share of you tonight at Deb & Scotts :) Today is an especially difficult day for us all, but it shows just exactly how loved you are by so many people. I hope that you are up in Heaven celebrating as well......I hold you near my heart each & every day but today you are held especially close. When we all raise our glasses to toast in your memory, I hope that I will feel your presence! I love you & miss you with all of my heart. Happy Birthday Nicholas xoxo

Love you always, your little sis Aim :)

Happy Birthday Nicholas. What a happy day it was 31 years ago and how proud I was with the arrival of our firstborn and 2 days after my birthday. We will still celebrate our birthdays together, but it will never be the same without you here. You will always be loved and missed.

Our Beloved Nicholas,

This has been the first time in 34 years we haven't had a Christmas tree or decorations. It hasn't been the same without you here. In losing you, we also lost our enthusiasm for the Holidays and life in general. We know that healing takes time, but life will never be the same and we will always feel a permanent loss. As for New Years, for us it will be New Life, and without you, Sad not Happy.
What we are happy about is that you are no longer in pain, you're with God, many relatives and friends, and you are getting answers to all your questions. I guess you don't need that telescope now and Aim did get her guitar.
You will be forever loved and missed by so many relatives and friends, and we look forward to the day when we will all be together again.
Chloe and Sofie are looking for you, and I fed the squirrels and birds like you used to do.
Always thinking of you.

Love from Dad, Mom, and Aim.

Love from your other Mother

Our little man,
I had all ready bought your presents, so we are putting them in the shop. You will have your own little corner in there with all your stuff. New Years we will be spending time with your family. Things will never be the same without you here. Merry Christmas, we love and miss you so much. Your other Mother.

Dear Richard, Liz and Amy,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Nick. I really have no appropriate words, but please know that my heart and prayers are with you. At this moment I am in Mexico where my own daughter passed away on Oct. 25 just one day before her 24th birthday.

Liz, Dick & Amy,
I want to offer my most heartfelt sympathy's to you all during this trying time in your lives. Nick was my best friend for the few years I was living in Gold Bar, which made you guys as close to family as I get. I spent more time at your house than I did at my own, and you always made it feel like a home. Nick knows he was blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, supportive family. I'll always keep my memories with Nick and you guys stored away with the good ones! Again, I'm deeply sorry for your loss, and wish I could do more than words.
Much Love.

Dear Dick and Liz,

Jenny and I am so sorry for your loss of Nick. I had planned on attending the services, but we have just moved my Mom out of the hospital yesterday to local SNF, and have to take some of her belongings to her from her Assisted Living apartment today, so she will have clean clothes, and some necessities, etc. Best wishes to you during this difficult time, as I am personally aware, especially just before, or during the holidays. Try to keep a happy memory and that WILL help getting through the holidays. With Love of a Friend, Dennis Heaton, Class of '67!

Words can not express the sad heart I have knowing that I will never be able to see your smiling face again. I wish I would of never erased that last text from you...because it was so fun, just like you! I am so greatful to God that I got to see you 10 before you went to heaven. I truly believe you are an angel now just like Amy said. I miss your sense of humor, well... I pretty miss everything about you! Thanks for being my friend, giving me advise, and just making me laugh! I will really miss the times we had over the last 6 years. Your family will always be near and dear to my heart and we will all take over now and help watch them for you. I will always like you, miss you and love you ALOT!

To Nick's Family, friends and loves ones:
I've never met you or Nick but am certain he was a wonderful man and son. Scott Malmquist is my nephew; he considered Nick a "best friend" and that's all I need to feel the same. I can't sufficiently express my deepest sorrow for your great loss. Any attempt would simply seem like a feeble effort. May God bless you and help to make these sad times bearable.
Ironically, Nick's obituary is listed immediately next to Scott's father's obituary, Gary Malmquist. I feel terrible for Scott who has lost both a father and best friend. With deepest sympathy and best wishes,

My other son,
My heart is broken. I don't know if I will ever be able to pick that guitar up again, Nick. Every morning I get up and look out the window to see if your jeep is in the driveway. I won't be able to hear music, play darts, go through another flood, or enjoy our shop without you here with us. My life has been forever changed. Only one thing could hurt this bad and I can't even think about that right now. What will I do when you don't bug me with momma, momma,mom,mom,Ma,Ma through the window this summer? I don't think you know that you and Scott saved me when Jeff died. You gave me a reason to go on, Nick and I will love you forever. I all ready miss your big blue eyes, your crazy faces, your pouting when I out scored you in bowling or rock band, and just the sweetness that was you. You gave me your New Orleans shirt just because I said I liked it. I better stop because when it comes to you, I could write a book. Sleep well son, this pain will go away when I can hug you again. We will stay close to your family because through you we will always be family. I love you, I love you alot!! Your other Mother
