Nick Husain Obituary
To our loving Nicky...
In life we learn to love, in loss we learn how much we loved...
How can you sum up someone's life in a few words? How do you describe their impact on the world? How do you talk about all the little moments of happiness, hope, love, and all of the inbetweens? What words define a person, what they believed in or what they lived for?
When those closest to Nick were asked to describe him in one word....those words were clear. Courageous, Strong, Loving, Fearless, Caring, Free. These are wonderful and true descriptions of Nick. Each has 100 beautiful stories behind them. There was something more powerful than the words they were saying. It's hard to describe it in one word but there were smiles, a glow, an indescribable look of love on each of their faces when they were thinking of Nick. I think this is what best describes Nick. Not a word, but the feeling he gave to us. This is how we will remember him best.
Anyone that really knew Nick can't help but smile when they think of him and all of the warm memories they shared with him. This is his legacy, this is what he lived for.
Thinking of Nick makes us realize how important it is to love those closest to you. This is what we will take with us. This our gift from Nick.
Nick lived life to its fullest; more than anyone I've ever met. In his short time with us he was a skateboarder, bass player, Marine, fisherman, loving son, brother, and loyal friend. Nick did all of these things well, Nick did all of these things to the fullest. I can only imagine what he would have done with more time. But the time he had was truly incredible.
Nick was simply larger than life, and had a spirit much larger than his body. Last week that spirit was set free.
Nick left us with loss, but gave us all so much more. He gave us courage, he showed us strength, he left us with love, and taught us the meaning of fearlessness. He cared for us all, and defined the meaning of free; but most of all, he just made us smile. And as long as we smile, Nick will always be with us.
My your spirit rest in peace Nicky. You will live on forever through each of us. We love you.

Nick, I have been thinking of you. I have no doubt those trees we had planted in a national forest , in your name, are standing tall and strong and reaching for the sun. Your spirit continues to touch us all. The years pass, but memories never fade.

My sunshine and my heart! I love you Nicky! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I just miss you so much. I keep wishing for that dream where we talk and hang out. We all keep the word courage around us to remember to be strong for you. I miss your smile and your voice. But I know you leave me hints of you every time I see the sunshine or a new flower blooming.
I love you sweetheart!

My sweetheart it was five years ago on this very same day monday that you passed. I miss you so much. They say time heals but that is not true. It is always the same pain but you learn how to deal with it. You left us the word COURAGE for a reason and that's what we all do for you. We get courage to be the best that we can. I have faith that we will see each other again. Fly with the angels Nicky and when the sun shines that is when I know you are near me always. I love you Nicky

Just thinking about you today Nick. Looked through the gallery. Many made me smile! I think I took a couple myself. Not bad I reckon!
It's been almost 5 years. Still can't believe you have gone sometimes. I hope you continue to guide us through life. Miss you x

Its going to be two years since you died. It still doesn't make sense to me. I don't know why your not here with us. Why did you go away? You should be living and having a life like you deserved. I don't know where you have gone. There is an emptiness
that can never be filled. My only wish is that you are happy and that I will get to see hug and kiss you again and tell you that I love you so much!

Thank you for the recent signs, they do not go unseen. The song brought me to tears and has blessed my week with a sense of hope. You're such a caring soul and a perfect angel. Everyday is for you.

Thank you. I have felt your energy so strongly recently. I dedicate my recent success to you, for continuing to push me forward. At times it feels heavy, but I tell myself you don't have to physically be here for your lessons to make sense. You've opened my senses so much and made me capable of feeling more energy and emotion than ever. Thank you angel. Miss you forever. Please continue to stay by my side.

Hey Guardian Angel. It's been a rough night. I was staring at the ceiling and I got an overwhelming urge to text you- 1. Because you were always up at this time of night, and 2. Because you always knew what to say to make me breathe again. You understood me on the inside to an extent that is beyond me. Not even those closest to me currently understand me as well as you did. It's such a comfort to know no one will add up to you. I miss you Nick, and I know you're happy, because as I finish this up, I feel a light inside that wasn't present when I started. Thank you. I'll be seeing you.

I still think of the times we had together today Nick. You were somebody I looked up to because you always had the courage to do something greater and be an inspiration to others by doing so. I'm sorry there wasn't more I could do, and as I grow up and come out of my socially awkward shell, you teach me a lot about how to live. Love you brother.

My darling Nick. We went to Santa Cruz on your one year anniversary. Some of your closest friends came. It felt really nice talking about you and listening to stories. I miss you so much. It still does not feel real to me that your gone. I love you always Nick and look forward to the day when I will see you again.

Nicky,
I think of you every day and I miss you so much. I will always cherish the memories of your sweet smile and the kindness of your heart.
You were always ready to lend a helping hand, there is the time you and Shawn went out of your way to help one of the family friends, who lived out of the area, move out of her house; and the time you helped entertain my friend's grandchildren who were from out of state, taking them to the movies and showing them around town. Those are just a few of the so many happy memories I have of you.
You were generous with your smile, your friendship, and your heart. I miss you.
Until we meet again in heaven.
I Love You

Having watched the video of Nick on Youtube "Nicky's Courage and Memorial April 2011” what emerges was a cheerful young man full of life. You, of course, have many more fond memories of him. We guess, they will be even more precious to you as the years go by.
Our thoughts are with you, Julie and the family.

I did not know Nick. But any loss for a close school classmate and neighbor is a loss for me. The picture emerging from the condolences is of a person with poise and grace. Surely there must be a Higher Purpose for his untimely return Home. May the Peace that was Nick always be with you, Arif, and your family members.

Dear Arif, Julie, Cassie and Selena
Although we never really saw Nick growing up, we do have fond memories of him as young boy - bright-eyed, loving and greatly attached to his family. We have always known you as a close family, warm, caring, and sharing many an event together. There is very little to be said other than deep sadness at the loss of a young life, even sadder with Nasreen having closely shared her childhood with you and your family, Arif. Your only Khala shares this message of sympathy -- she is in great shock. We grieve with you. May you have the strength to overcome this tragedy. Khala, Nasreen, Albab

Nick you were gone too soon. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the way their friends talk about them. Unfortunately I didnt get to know Nick like some other people may have but from what I have heard about him and the support and love I have seen from his closest friends tells me that I missed out. Nick touched everyones heart in his own special way. He has brought everyone together during this time of grief. Nick you were full of life and you pushed every moment you lived to its limits. You met every adventure right at its face. Your life was cut too short, but your memory will live on forever. Watch over all of us now and come say Hi in your own way whenever you get the chance! You are missed. My deepest condolences to his loved ones.

To Cassi and the Husain family,
My heart breaks for your loss. You have been the warmest and most welcoming family to all those who are lucky enough to know you, and I know Nick will be remembered forever. I think back to the cheerful kid he was when I first met him, to the young adult he grew to become - still cheerful, always friendly, and always protective of Cass and her friends. In these difficult times I offer you the love you all have always given me, and my thoughts and prayers are with Nick. May his wonderful smile and beautiful soul never be forgotten. I love you all.

Although we did not really know Nick personally, he obviously was a very dear friend to our son and other members of our family. There are no words to express the sorrow and sympathy we wish to convey to Nick's family and friends but it is quite obvious that he was much loved and made a great impact on many people's lives. God Bless you Nick & may peace be with.

We are so incredibly sad about the loss of our friend. Nicky was a wonderful and special person. We were lucky enough to know him since the day he was born and grow up with him. We have so many memories of all of the times we spent together– playing outside in front of our houses, birthday parties, holidays, trips to Lake Tahoe, going out for pizza nights . . . Our childhood memories are full of times our families spent together.
We will never understand why Nicky was taken so early . . . but we know that one day we will see him again. We will miss you Nicky. We will always remember you.

Nick always gave you a smile with a twinkle in his eye. As his former teacher, I know he enjoyed his time in Washington, DC with us during his 8th grade trip, his former teachers remember him as a very nice and gentle young man. As the mother of one of his good skateboarding friends, I grieve on a much deeper level, he was a truly great friend to my son and always had a hug for me. I will never forget Nick, his smile, and his skateboarding stunts. He will be missed, but not forgotten. Here are his hugs right back to you Husain family. May you find some peace as I send these thoughts to all of you.

Nick- there are so many things to say about you. You were a great friend, a great skateboarder, and a great person. I have so many memories of times we spent together, and most of them are from the times we went skateboarding. You were always fearless on your skateboard, ready to try anything, and you always pushed us to be the same. You'll always be remembered for that. I'll miss you, Nick, and I'll always remember you.

I know I can speak for everyone when I say that losing Nick is one of the biggest heartaches many of us have endured. It pains me to think of his goofy smile or his contagious laugh, because I can still remember them so vividly. Nick always had a way of making everyone he was around feel like they were special to him; he always was involved in what was going on in his friends' lives. Nick truly cared about others, and his empathetic personality was something everyone loved about him. I wish the whole family peace and send them my condolences. A great friend was lost, but he lives through all of us now. We miss and love you Nick!

So many of Shawn's friends remember Nick as a rowdy kid with endless energy and a smile that could swallow you whole. And so many of us were deeply impressed by the adult he grew up to be - a thoughtful young man with an insatiable appetite for adventure and understanding. As we try to make sense of the plans the Universe has for us, please know that you are surrounded by the love and strength of a vast community whose lives were all impacted by Nick. He will never truly be gone.

I remember being so excited whenever I knew Nick was going to be visiting Bangladesh. I always had so much fun when he was around, one of my favorite memories period is wrestling with him in the back of my mom's station wagon. When I moved to the US Nick was my first friend, we practiced lightsabers together. He was such a free spirit and so adventurous... a really amazing person. It's hard for me to put down in words what I'm feeling, I'm shocked and sad that you are gone. I'm going to miss you Nick.

To Nick
I don't know how to say it, but you went too quickly for me to say goodbye properly.
I said we will see you soon and you agreed.
I remember you as a little boy, just seven months old and
I was baby-sitting you when your mama and papa went to a party in Dhaka.
While I was changing you after the feed, you looked surprised...
As a little boy I always noticed how you were full of life and energy. You always had a cheeky smile and a mischievous sparkle in your eyes.
You always were a dare-devil, skateboarding and jumping up higher than your friends.
You also acquired many fractures in your arms and legs as medals for your achievements.
I did not see you much during your teenage years....you were mostly out, and less in.
Recently we saw you more often : playing pool, getting ready to go to school or out cycling.
Surprisingly, we even managed to play some chess games!
In the plane you and I sat in the back and you were trying to point out your house down below.
You also took some photos of Alicia in the front, sitting next to your pa.
Because of the rush to catch our flight back to London I could not even thank you properly for helping with our luggage and and say goodbye; We agreed we will meet again soon but you have gone
God bless you Nick, we shall meet again....

We loved Nick, it was a joy watching him grow and mature into a young man. His smile was contagious, and he had a heart of gold.
Nick live life to its fullest, from the start he was a kid on the go. He was adventurous – and knew no fear.
It was an honor to fly to San Diego and attend Nick’s graduation from Marine Basic Training, Nick’s new found word was “COURAGE” – and it was fitting.
We are all going to miss Nick very much.

Arifmama, Juliemamie, Selena, Shawn and Cassi, please accept my greatest and deepest sympathies through this sudden and incredibly painful period. But I believe Nick is looking down on us now, and seeing and appreciating just how much love we all had and still have for him. It is tough but I know that with Nick's love and guidance you will get through this.
Nick,
I just want to say thanks for being an awesome little cousin. Looking back, you play such a big part of many of my happiest childhood memories. I still clearly remember in Dhaka on Nanie’s veranda – you must have been 18 months old or so – Cassi, Shawn and I would fight over who got to push you around in your walker!
Not forgetting the many summer holidays I used to come over as a kid and stay with you guys in Milpitas and Fremont. Despite the relatively large age-gap of exactly 5 years to the day, you were always (surprisingly!) very good company and kept me happily entertained, particularly when Shawn and Cassi were away. I remember us having a combined deep fondness for “La-la” (aka ‘The Little Mermaid’). And then when you were much older your trying to teach me how to skate (I failed miserably!) and also keeping me company as I jogged/walked around the block.
Nickelodeon – I’ll never forget your infectious laugh, cheeky smile, and bright eyes.
Til we meet again, cuz x

Just remember that Nick is looking down on you now, helping to guide you through life, until you meet again...

I only knew Nick through my grandson, Ben Lefkort. Now that I have looked through the photos I feel I know him and his beautiful family a little better.
Such a handsome family and it is obvious there was a lot of love and joy between you.
Nick truly will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved him.
I wish you peace as you come to terms with his death. Ben, Nick and his friends had wonderful times together. My hope is that these happy memories will lessen the deep sadness you are suffering now.
With affection, Louise Lefkort

My cousin Nick was a kind, funny young man. I remember playing pool and chess with him, when I came to visit in the Easter holidays last week. I will miss him and those times very much. I didn’t know Nick when he was a child, but from the photos I’ve seen and the stories I’ve heard, he was obviously a lovely, cheerful child, who grew up to become a wonderful, happy person.
My thoughts are with Arif mama, Julie mamie, Selena, Shawn and Cassi.

Words can never explain how much nick meant to everyone who knew him. Not only did we loose a son and a brother, but we lost a good person. There are too few out there as good as Nick, as kind or as genuine as Nick. I still can't believe your gone. One thing I can smile about is knowing you will live on through us. We will be together again one day. Until then, give me courage.

Julie & Arif,
I remember meeting Nick for the first time and that was back in the 90s. Nick was such a lovely, beautiful child and with so much energy. He will be missed by so many people.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Nick will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched and he will certainly be remembered by all. I remember Nick being such an energetic little boy with a very addictive personality and contagious laugh. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with the Husain and Valencia families during this very difficult time.

Dear Julie & Arif
Words fail us to express our deep sorrow for your tragic loss. We didn't know Nick but the beautiful and funny stories you shared about your children during our recent get together in Texas brought Nick to life. Our thoughts and love are with you and your family to endure the very, very early departure of your handsome son.

I dont think there is a word to truly describe how amazing it is that one person could be a best friend to so many people. for myself and a lot of others nick was someone i could tell anything to, without fear of being judged or thought of as weird. If you ask any of are friends about the funnest, wildest times of our lives some how nick was always there. you were like a brother to me and i will always miss and love you.

Such a tradegy! We haven't seen each other for years, yet, when I recall Nick it is always with him being active and having such a lust for life. It was Nick whose swing of the bat broke open the pinata at Srijon's 12th b'day party. It was Nick who could throw the vortex the farthest. It was Nick who was the fastest and most fearless on the skateboard. He did not live his life on the sidelines, but fully partcipated. I always valued his outgoing ways. Know that Srijon and I are very touched by his loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you during this tragic time. We pray for his spirit and mourn his loss.

Husain Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember the good times our children spent together and what a nice, polite boy Nick always was. It just breaks my heart that he is no longer with us.
