I remember when we met 18 years ago. I knew right away a had a new brother. Even if we lost touch for a short period of time, our paths always crossed. I love u kid and it's not the same without you. There are some things i never got to thank you for. Even thrilled your worst times your heart and personality always shined. You were a soldier. You will forever be in my heart.

So sorry Coco, Rick, and Shawn, I think you guys actually comforted me on this loss then I have you. I don't know if I ever actually said I'm so sorry and I feel your pain most likely cause I have been so lost and caught up in my own grief. Nick is literally the first person this young that I was sooo damn close too that has passed away and I'm not taking it well so I can only imagine what it's like for a Father/Mother and Brother. Coco he loved you so much you have no idea, when you got and beat cancer I remember it showed how much he loved you. Rick I don't think you know how much Nick really respected you and led his life to make you proud. Every time you too would fight I would hear every detail because you have no idea how much he wanted to make you proud. And Shawn I wish we had been closer and I doubt I need to tell you and I'm sure you know Nick looked up to you so much and over the past few years talked a lot about how bad he wanted to be like you and work hard to own a house or condo or nice car and you were his idea of being successful and hard work paying off. He always talked about how much you turned your life around completely on your own and earned everything on your own and totally gave Nick a roll model and proof that no matter how bad your luck is with hard work and drive you can do anything. And it sucks so bad cause he never got a chance to start a family and grow old but I know he will be with us always and he's still with me cause I have already made better decisions just thinking about making him proud. I love you guys be strong R.I.P.
