Dear Nicky, you will be forever missed. I recently heard it isn't the years of life that count but the life in the years and I thought of you. You made each day count and included all those around you with a smile and a twinkle in your eyes. You will be remembered by so many. May you rest in peace. Love you, Aunt Loretta

I didn't know Nick, however, from reading the other comments I truly missed out on meeting quite a remarkable person. I am praying for your family as you say goodbye to this amazing man. Just remember, God said many times in the bible, Old and New Testament, that He would never leave you. He will be there to comfort and hold you as you go through the grieving process.

I only knew Nick a few weeks but in that time I got to see a true, caring man. He hired and trained me just a month ago and to hear this news was shocking. In the few weeks I knew him , I saw a man with a heart of gold. He talked highly of his Mom, grandma,girlfriend and how he rescued his dog. He will be missed.
God Bless his family and friends . Heaven has another way too soon.

Nick will surely be missed! He had a sense of adventure, keen interest in all and a caring way about him that seemed to come so naturally! "The Boys", as I referred to them growing up shared so much and remained connected! Condolences go out to all that were touched by Nick! The Angels have welcomed him with open arms!

Nicholas was a beautiful, loving soul. A happy, warm and caring person, he would do anything to help a friend in need, without asking anything in return. Truly a real person, a real friend. Nick, you were my brother in my heart. I will miss you, my dear friend. Be at peace...

I have to many memories of you to list them here. Something like 20 years worth. So many hearts are broken by your passing. You had the best smile and always saw the bright side in everything. I never met anyone with as much of a love for life as you had. I don't think I ever will again. You had the biggest heart and their was always room in it for more. I will miss you every single day. Love you always.
