Nigel was born in Edmonton, Alberta on September 9, 1983 and as an infant moved to Fort Macleod where the family lived until moving to Medicine Hat in 1989. Nigel was active from an early age, intensely enjoying a variety of sports and excelling as an athlete. He was involved in Scouts and loved to camp and participate in water sports. He has always been outgoing, kind, considerate, friendly and intelligent and loved to share his great smile. He was a natural leader. When Nigel was diagnosed with cancer in November of 1998 at age fifteen, he set himself a goal to serve the Lord. This experience proved to unfold the amazing spiritual side of Nigel. In October of 1999, the Make a Wish Foundation granted his wish for his entire family to meet the Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an experience the family will forever cherish. He was also privileged to serve a Full-time Mission for the Church beginning in June of 2004. Nigel fought cancer for seven years overcoming unbelievable odds with a positive attitude and without a complaint. Nigel has inspired many at the Cancer camps while serving as a counselor and as a mentor with other cancer survivors. He has demonstrated faith and courage in all he has done. Nigel was loved by all who knew him and will be dearly missed. Thank you to the many doctors, nurses and other caregivers who have been a part of this journey.
