Nick was a talented musician who loved to play the guitar, sing karaoke, and listen to vinyl records ranging from classic rock and electro to 90's hip hop. He had a strong gift for cooking and baking and loved preparing meals to share with his family and friends. He especially loved being outdoors whether it be fishing, hiking, camping, or hunting and was always in search of his next adventure. He also had a great love of movies with Star Wars being his favorite series and really enjoyed racing and adventure video games. Nicholas was a kind, loving, generous, and loyal friend to all who knew him. He always put others before himself and was intelligent, compassionate, and gentle in the way he spoke. He listened to and loved those around him unconditionally, and had the most infectious sense of humor. He was someone that would always be there for you and would never give up on you. To those who knew him in life, he was loved and will forever be missed. Nicholas is survived by his mother, Evelyn, his father, Efren, and his younger brother, Justin.
