Nicholas Todd Crispino

6,288 days since anyone has heard your laugh, seen your smile, felt one of your great hugs. I think of you often, so many great memories.

I cannot believe it has been eight years! Miss you dearly! Always in my thoughts and your family remains in my prayers!

<3

Thought about you today. Miss you still. <3

Just came across this as a result of a random memory that included you. You are very loved and never forgotten! ps. I never had anyone offer to help me clean my mom's windows like you did! thanks buddy

Nick, you are thought of and missed all the time.

Cousin Sylvia

I think about you all the time!!! what's up Buttercup!!!!! see you one day!!! xoxo

Nick- Wow it seems so long since you left us. I miss u like crazy and you coming over and crawling in my bed just to cuddle and hold each other when we needed a shoulder to cry on. I just lost my Nana last week and i hadn't been in that funeral home since your service. It was so hard to do buddy wish i had your shoulder to cry on again. You were so loved even tho you thought you weren't. Can't Wait to see you in Heaven. I love You Nick!

Nick
I wake up everyday missing you and woundering when will I see you again. I miss you more and more I wish that I new what to say to your family but I don't. I can only tell your parents that they rasied one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. The years that I new Nick he was always smiling and laughing. I will always love him and miss him.

Nick, I love you and miss you still each and every day. Thank you for being my gardian angel all this time.

I think of you every day, Nick. I still get asked by people if I am the one that spoke at your service and if I was the one that was always hanging out with you. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel like I've done right by you and am still being the best friend to you I can be.
I miss you with all my heart.

Its the holidays again and i just wanted to let the familyknow that you guys and nick are still in my prayers he'll never be forgotten much love and best wishes to the family.....

to the family,
i continue to pray for you. i cant tell you the times that when my cousin was killed we heard it will get easier with time... Chris was killed 7 years ago sept 24. i dont think it has really gotten "easier" for any of us we have just by now learned our own methods of dealing with it. my aunt and uncle wanted to send their love also.Pam and larry thomason (nurse pam) they know what you are going through and my whole family stands in prayer for all of you.

I wasn't very close to Nick, but he always made me laugh when i was feeling down. i met him through my cousin and agian at sharks. What i miss most about nick, Him always smileing no matter what was wrong. I hope you guys realize that you will see him agian......

LISA,RICK & ANTHONY



I COULD NOT HAVE DREAMED THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO NICK WHICH WAS SEPT. 9TH (FRIDAY) THAT IT WOULD

BE MY LAST TIME. I TOLD HIM 2 MONTHS AFTER I MET HIM, I WOULD ALWAYS WANT HIM IN MY LIFE AS A FRIEND. I LOVED NICK AS A FRIEND.

HE AMAZED ME AS A PERSON. I KNOW HE KNEW MANY PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND IT DIDN'T MATTER TO HIM WHAT YOU CAME FROM, HE TREATED EVERYONE THE SAME. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFETIME MET SUCH A POSITIVE AND HAPPY PERSON. I NEVER STOPPED LAUGHING WHEN I WAS AROUND HIM. HE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND I THANK

GOD HE ALLOWED US TO CROSS PATHS. NICK WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART. YOU RAISED A BEAUTIFUL SON, INSIDE AND OUT. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. GOD BLESS YOU!

Well,i didnt know nick as well as many did im sure but i still knew him and to think that that could happen to anyone is scary.i still remember what i was doin and where i was when my cousin called and told me the horrible news,she called and was as seriouse as could be and she goes nick is gone,my heart acuttaly skipped a beat i think.But even though nick is gone he will never i mean never be forgotten in my book and many others as well.my prayers are with the family.

WE MISS U NICK!!

Haley D, Geurin

I have know nick, since I dont know when... Nick will be missed by so many people, Nick you are in my prayer's each and every single day. Nick was a very good person to hang around, I loved being around Nick, for who he was! Nick would tell you what was on his mind, no matter what it was... Nick is so awesome, I can tell you rick and lisa, that you have a wonderful kid, and you have raised him up right, taught him right from wrong, he knows whats best... I wish until this day that I could at least see Nick and talk to him, But i dont have to worry about that because I know when my time comes I will get to see Nick...

We only met you a few short times. You had a beautiful smile and a beautiful personality.. God took you home too early, but apparently he wanted you to be one of his angels..We know that you meant a lot to your parents and grand-parents who loved you very much..When we see the stars that shine at night, we will know that you will be one looking down on us....

We will keep you and Mom and Dad in our prayers...

Rest in peace..AMEN



Aunt Tess and Uncle Julius

To the family of Nick Crispino. Nick was a good friend of mine. He was always happy and in a good mood. This has been a terrible tragedy. I send my condolences. Nick you have many who love you and you will remain in our hearts forever.

To the family of Nicholas Crispino:

I do not know you nor did I ever meet Nich. I work for a mall in Tennessee and learned of this tragic death through various channels. I just felt compelled to write you and express my greatest sympathy to you. I have a son who is a few months shy of 18. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling, nor imagine having such a young life cut so short just as it began. If only we knew God's plan and why this happened! Please know you are in my prayers as well as my co-workers. I know there is nothing I can do for you, just know there are persons out there who you don't even know that are keeping you in their heart.



God bless you.

Nick, Your gone but not forgotten. You will remain in are hearts forever.

Rick & Lisa Iam so sory for your loss Nick will be missed. Love Little Gunn.

Lisa and Rick, Nick was a great person that never met a stranger. His continous smile and amount of joy that he expressed will never be forgotten! He will always be remembered in my heart. You and your family, and Nick's many friends will always be in my prayers.

My deepest sympathies in the loss of your prescious son...I know first hand the emptiness and grief you are feeling.

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all and that Nick will never be forgotten.

God Bless you. Barb

Please accept my sincere sympathy at the loss of Nick. I know the family must be devastated, but have faith that he is in our Father's loving arms and we will see him again.

Rick & Lisa-We are so sorry to hear the news about Nicky. He was like watching one of my own kids grow up. I can't imagine your pain and sorrow. I know how hard it has hit me. He will be missed by all who knew his sweet smile and personality. I remember him coming into the store all the time on his 4 wheeler. He would just hang out at the store with us and talk just to have something to do. He stopped me two weeks ago when he saw me at the bank, just to say hi. The news was such a shock and unbelieveable. I will miss him. If we can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to call. God be with you in this time of such sorrow.

I only met Nick a couple of times, but he seemed like a nice boy. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with you and comfort you.

Rick & Lisa, I'm very sorry to hear about Nick. He was a very fun-loving person who will be missed by all. We're going to miss him coming by the house to visit. Rachel & I will keep you in our prayers.

NICK WILL BE WELL MISSED BY ME AND MANY OF OUR PALS, I WORK AT CINGULAR AND WHEN NICK WORKED AT TEETERS HE CAME AND WE WOULD GO EAT LUNCH TOGTHER EVERYDAY, HE HUNG OUT AT MY HOUSE ALOT ALSO,PLUS WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. DAYS WHEN HE CAME BY AND WE WENT TO LUNCH WAS THE BEST HE WAS THE MOST UPGOING KID I THINK I WILL EVER KNOW, I WENT TO SONIC THE OTHER DAY AND THEY ALWAYS ASK ME WHERE HE IS CAUSE HE SET A INPRESSION ON THEM THERE LIKE HE DID EVERYPLACE HE WENT, I HAVE A SON THAT IS 10 AND EVERYTIME I WOULD SEE NICK I WOULD SOMEHOW SEE A BIGGER VERSION OF MY SON. I GUESS CAUSE I KNOW HE WAS A VERY OUTGOING KID AND I WANT MY SON TO BE AS OUTGOING. WE WILL MISS THE DAYS AHEAD WITHOUT HIM. YOU ALL ARE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS.....

I am sad to say that i did not know Nic that well but i will miss seeing him down at sharks and driving his beutiful blue dodge downtown. Everytime i saw Nic around sharks he was always smiling and having a great time and things just arent gonna be the same wihtout him so just keep your heads up and smile for him cause he is watching over you and that is what he would have wanted you to do since that is what he did and for the familey you are in my prayers. Nic we are gonna miss you man things aren't gonna be the same without you areound making people laugh and have a good time.

Nick,

Were all gonna miss you here! You were the most awsome friend to have, you never turned your back when someone needed you, or even if was just to talk, you were allways there. Im going to miss you bunches, but will see you again.xoxoxoxo

Britt

Nick was a dear person we knew more as a friend than a customer. He ventured into the retail store on many occasions and he always made us laugh and smile. I wish to offer my sincere condolences in your time of grieving. I can only think that Nick would want us to live life to the fullest. I remember many times sitting around at El Chico’s while the Alltel crew was cracking up at his wondrous personality. I cannot put into words what we as a team felt upon the loss of such an intelligent young man. I hope and pray that God uses him in a miraculous way. He deserves a place in heaven and we all know through his sometimes rough hard attitude was a soft heart that would do anything for his fellow man. He will be missed by all of us at Alltel. If there is anything we can do please come and allow us to assist you.

From Stan and Jan Johnson

Sorry we did not get to know you down on earth. We will see you in heaven.

Nick visited our Christian Motorcyclists Association Chapter in Arkadelphia a few months back with friends. We enjoyed meeting him and are so sorrowful for the family. We ask the Lord to especially be with his parents as this is just a very tough thing - our prayers are with you.

Nick,

well first off let me express our deepest sympathy to the family of Nick. Just sittin here thinking of the good times with you brings a tear to my eye. We just want you to know that we love you just as we love our own kin. We've been sitting here just praying and hoping this is all a joke. but in our hearts we know its true. I know everytime Me, Courtney, Kayla, and Diane go out we will make that trip by sharks just hoping to see you there.......In my mind you always are there YOU MADE SHARKS!!! WE LOVE YOU BOY!!!

To Nick's Family:

I knew "Nicky" as I referred to him, through my twins Casey and Chris Clare. He came to visit the kids at our house on many occasions and was one of Chris' best friends. It was always nice to see him and he apparently had a fondness for "Slim Fast" and asked me every time he came by if I had any, which always made me laugh. He was a great kid with a good heart and truly will be missed by so many.

Having lost my 17 year old son four years ago, unfortunately I know the pain and absolute unbelieveable feeling of loss and emptiness that you are experiencing. It never goes away, but it does ease with time. Eventually, smiles will replace the endless tears when you remember him. Try to take comfort in the love of friends and family and know that there is really no answer as to "Why", just a reminder that our time here on this earth is so very short. Have faith and know that Nick is with you, always in your heart and always looking down from Heaven. God Bless you and your family, and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all in the days ahead.



Susan Clare

Nick was one of the greatest people I have met. He knew exactly how to make me laugh. We used to joke around so much. He even put me in his clothes and he got in mine just because he was curios to see how I looked in his type of clothing. Of course my clothes were pretty big on him but it was all fun. I will miss Nick, he is a friend I will never forget. We will all miss him. We love you Nick.

Sabrina and Alisha Geurin

Please accept my sincere sympathy on Nick's early passing. God will help you get through this tragic time in your life. Just know that Nick is safe and at peace is His loving arms.

Rick and Lisa,

I'm very sorry to hear about Nick.My heart goes out to your family.I met Nick through my daughter Whitney Ashley.They were good friends.May God watch over your family during this time of loss.

Rick, Lisa and Anthony,



I am so sorry for your loss. Nick was like one of my boys when we lived in Stonegate. He would stop by our home almost everyday to play with Michael or to see what I had cooked and eat leftovers. I loved his smiles and missed seeing him when we moved to Oklahoma. He will be forever in our hearts and will never be forgotten. May God Bless your family and help you make it through this difficult time. Linda Wood

Dear Crispino Family,



I didn't know Nick especially well but when you all lived here I was close friends with Anthony. It's been a long time since then but last year I saw Nick again when he came to visit Kellie Mishler. He somehow recognized me even though he hadn't seen in forever and got this HUGE smile on his face and he hugged me. I wish I could have known him better. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Nick will be greatly missed.

well let me start of with, that I have known nick crispino quit sometime now, I use to hang out with him, Nick is going to be missed so very much by everyone..Whenever you were having a bad day, nick was always the one to put a smile, on someone's face no matter what you were going through...I always seen Nick downtown on the weekends, even during the weekdays, and im so going to miss him being downtown, seeing him driving down the road in his blue dodge truck.. Im so sorry for the loss of nick crispino...I will keep yall in my prayers...Nick was such a (WONDERFUL KID)..... I LOVE YOU NICK CRISPINO.....

Rick,Lisa,& anthony

I wanted to let you know that you have a very special son! It's a great loss and it will take time to heal. I met Nic down town one night and we have been friends ever since i can honestly say that nic was one of the best friends that i have ever had and always will be. no one can take his place. Me and nic are close of age im 17 and not amoment goes by when i don't ask god ''why'' especially at 18 but There's one thing that i will never forget and that's that i never once seen nic down or sad he was always smiling or making someones day 100% better. I haven't known nic very long, but i am so glad that we have gotten to share precious memories together and i know that we will soon meet up again whenever my time comes. Nic completely changed my outlook on life just because of his smile and all the joy that he brought into my life i will never forget that and i will always know that he is looking down on me and also you. Lisa, Rick you have raised a wonderful son and if it wasn't for nic i don't know what i would've done over these past few months so i thank you also! God had a plan for nic from the very start, and it helps me to know that nic is happier and is in the best hands anyone could ever be in! I have cried and been down ever since that night but i know that if nic knows that he would be very upset and thats one thing i don't want and the same goes for you. I am here for you whenever you need me and even though i know it will be hard; hold your head up and smile cause i know thats what nic would want he's in the best place right now, i loved nic like a brother and i love ya'll your son is greatly admired and will be missed by those who ever even seen him smile, your in my thoughts and prayers always!

Nick,you were so good to me

I never could have guessed

That when I moved to arkansas

That I would be so blessed

You were my special angel

Send from up above

God smiled down on me

And sent me and angel to love

You are my special angel

Straight from paradise

I know that your an angel

Because heaven's in your eyes.



I believe in doing what I can, crying when I must, and smiling when I choose. So, I do what I can to get through this, cry when I think of what I'm missing, and smile when I think about you!!!



To Nicks family,

I am so sorry for you loss. I know that I can not find the words to express the pain that you have endured. I can only hope and pray that time will pull you through. God Bless

CRISPINO FAMILY,

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS OF NICK, DEAP DOWN HE WAS A VERY WONDERFUL PERSON. EVEN THOUGH NICK AND I HAD OUR DIFFERENCES, HE ALWAYS COULD MAKE SOMEONE SMILE. NICK WAS A GREAT PERSON TO HAVE AROUND, AND ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE WITH HIM ONCE AGAIN. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOUR FAMILY, IN THIS TIME OF NEED.

Nick was a good friend of mine in our little neighborhood of Stonegate before I moved. And, although he was never too thrilled about paintball, computers and four-wheelers were our thing and I will always remember him in that. No one else's satire matched that of his and it, too, will always bring back a smile. It saddens me that I was not able to experience much more time with Nick after my move, however, the times that once were, are always in us.



To Rick, Lisa, and Anthony,

I do not remember a time that I was not accepted into your home and treated with the same smiles, humility, compassion, and consequences that Nick was. I pray for you all with everything of me.



"Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death."

Rick & Lisa: I worked at Hastings Insurance in Hot Springs and briefly worked with you. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rick & Lisa,

Ann and I are so, so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you and take care.

Ann Worthy

Linda Worthy

and everyone at Hastings

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Nick and the pain his family is now going through. I met Nick through my daughter Bethany and enjoyed his company. He had such a caring and happy spirit and I will miss seeing him around. My prayers are with you. I will miss your son.

Dear Rick, Lisa and Anthony,

"God looked around his Garden and saw an empty place. He looked down on his Earth and saw Nick's smiling face."

My first thought of Nick is his smiling face. Those summer days at the stables when Nick (and Anthony) were in one of their pestering moods are some of my favorite memories. He was a joy in the classroom to all his teachers and classmates. Even after the move, he always showed his respectful character by stopping by to say hello.



"People say they’re sorry,

And they mean it from the heart,

But to understand your heartache,

They couldn’t even start,

To have a loss like you have had,

Is too much to understand,

We see it and we feel for you,

But it’s only secondhand,

You’re the ones who are suffering,

And we’re the ones who care,

But if there’s anything we can do,

Call us, we’ll be there."

What a very special young man Nick was! He will be missed by a whole bunch of people. I had the joy of knowing him for quite some time... and he was always pleasant and giving to old people such as myself. He always had a smile and hug for me. I'll miss seeing him and hearing him call me Mom (it's easier to have all the kids call me Mom than for them to remember my name or holler out... hey Phillip and Elizabeth's mom.) My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time and for a long time to come!!!! May you remember the good times and cherish the time you and everyone else had in Nick's company during his all too short life here on earth.

Dear Crispino Family,

The news of Nick touched my heart deeply. Nick was a great student and a wonderful person. I will always remember him with a big smile on his face. He knew how to make everyone smile. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Nick we will miss you so much you were a good person and always kept us smiling even when we tried to be mad at you you put the biggest smile on our faces. Can't believe youre gone. Im gonna miss your blue dodge going down the road with you in the driver seat smiling like always!!! WE MISS YOU NICK!!!!

Dear Crispino Family,

I have known Nick for about 3 years and he was very outgoing and energetic all the time. Nick and I had some good times together. My prayers are sincerely with you. Nick will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isiah 40:29

Dear Crispino Family,

My dad bought the riding stables at mountain harbor from you all a few years back. In that time I got to know Nick and Anthony very well and Nick especially. He and I talked often and became friends. I haven't seen you all in a while but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss and he will greatly be missed. He always could make me smile.

To the family of Nick: I only knew Nick through my daughter Jessica but he came to visit us many times and Nick was truely a lovely spirit. He was always happy, friendly and very well mannered at all times. Jessica and I are sadened by your tragic loss and we wish you love and healing in your hearts. You raised a great young man and he will be missed tremendously. Nick and I had many good conversations that I will never forget. God Bless You All.

I work at the Hot Springs Mall information desk. I have known Nick for the past 2 years and he became one of my special kids at the mall. There was never a time that he didnt make me smile when we talked. He touched so many lives including mine. I will miss him very much. I am so very sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and my heart goes out to you.

Martha Breckling-Adams

Dear Crispino Family,

I went to school with Nick. Every time I saw him he had the biggest smile on his face. He made everyone that had class with him laugh, smile, and just made their days a whole lot better. You will be in my thoughts and prayers if you ever need anything just let me know.

Whats up Buttercup!!! I will miss you so much. The friendship we had i will never forget. You are a wonderful person and i love you very much. Ill see you on the flip-side. To the family, keep your head up time will ease your pain.

Rick and Lisa,



I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Nick will be missed and if there is anything that I can do to help out in any way please do not hesitate to call.

Dear Crispino family,

Our son Davey went to school with Anthony at Mount Ida. We just heard of your loss and wanted to express or deepest sympathy. You will be in our thoughts and prayers and our prayer will be that God will wrap his loving and comforting arms around you ALL and hold you tight in HIS mercy in the days to come.

Nick was a very special person to everyone that knew him. I knew him thru my daughter, Casey Landrum. He always had a smile on his face, always took time to say "Hi" anytime he saw either of us. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. We will truely miss him.
