Lil Buddy. Twenty years have passed, and still not a day goes by without the memory of you in my heart. Your life was taken too soon, but your impact continues to ripple through the lives of those who knew and loved you. You were a son, a brother, a friend, and you are missed more than words can hold.
I´ll never forget that day at 3-Fives Motocross, the day I met Kristy. You paid the gate fee without a second thought, flashed that grin, and said you were heading off to cuddle. "I´m gonna marry this girl," you told me, and I knew you meant it. That moment, just like your love for her, was unforgettable.
In the years since, we´ve said goodbye to Kristy and Gloves, each loss its own heartbreak, each one tying us even more tightly to your memory. Today, I picture the three of you together again, Kristy smiling beside you, and you smacking Gloves in the back of the head, laughing, "Wake up!" It´s the kind of scene that only you could make so real.
Your legacy lives in every story told, every laugh remembered, and every quiet moment of reflection. I´ll ride with you always.

Hi I know this may not be the best place to leave this comment but I'm very concerned about this situation so I had to reach out some how and all the numbers I've tried are shut off. I work at a hotel in Seattle WA and a very odd woman named Julia came in using a credit card with the name Grey Summa on it and after looking into it some because I was wondering what she's doing with this persons credit card. If someone can please get back to me my email is [email protected] and let's talk about this more okay.

Christmas has come and gone and your memory lives within my heart. One comforting thought is that you & Grandma are watching over us. This was always a special time shared with us all. An Angel left us a gift on our doorstep quite a few years ago & a year never goes by without You ;-) As the holiday ends and everyone is preparing for the New Year, it's also a time for "reflection". Happy New Year to you & Grandma. Miss you both xoxo

It has taken me nearly six years to get over your death. I miss you so much. You were and will always remain my greatest friend. If it was not for you I would not have a great wife and two great kids. I always hear your voice and the slap across the head telling me to "Wake Up". I wish these kids could hug their Uncle Nick... I am proud to have been your brother. We all love you and miss you tremendously.

It's Crawfish Festival time in Old Town Spring. Nick and I drove out there one afternoon, parked my yellow cougar and we walked the streets as I photographed him & the many interesting sites in town. He knew I favored "silly shots" and he always knew what to do to make me laugh and get the best "silly shot". Each one was just as good as the first one. His laugh warms my heart every day.After purchasing a few pounds of crawfish, we brought it back to the house and ate crawfish with Uncle Vinny.
Miss you, Nick
Love & Hugs, Aunt Jane xxxxoooo

Nick - I found myself crying for you tonight, for the hole left behind in all our lives, and for the future I dreamed of for you and Kristi. I met your mom and so many people who love you. Everyone deserves to have a son and friend like you. We'll be with you soon, and our sadness will lift it's weight from our spirits.

I only knew Nick for such a short time, just a full year. Somehow though, just as Joey told me before I met Nick ‘You’ll love him’ and sure enough it only took a few minutes to see what he meant. Nick right away made me feel so welcomed into the family, constantly making me laugh. And it didn’t take long to discover Nick as NickiBaalllls! A man with such an incredible heart and soul! I truly thank God so much that I was able to meet Nick and share some special moments and holidays with him and the family. I will always miss Nick. My prayers are always with Teri & Jim, Joe & Grey, Uncle Vinnie & Aunt Jane, for ‘my Joey’, and for Kristi, and for the so many wonderful friends and lives he touched. His memories, and laughs and everything that made Nick Nick will forever live in our hearts, and knowing that someday we will see him again. Acts 24:15, Rev 21: 3,4 I love you Nick, you will always have a special place in my heart.

I will forever have a vision of Nick with an apron on, and a towel slung over his shoulder, washing dishes at the beach house in Galveston. The only guy, (or girl) to offer to help with clean-up duty on the senior trip, he won me over right then. Many happy memories followed. He always had a warm hug and sweet word, even for the moms of the group. A well raised, and charismatic young man, he will be missed by many.
