We lost a beautiful young member of our family who was just beginning his life to start a new family of his own. Even though we haven't seen each other regularly his beautiful smile and joyous spirit will remain in our hearts. We will miss you greatly Nick. We pray for peace and strength in the days to come for the family: Nicholas, mom, siblings, aunts and uncles.

Though I really only knew Nicholas well when he was a precocious young boy. He grew up into fine young man with a big heart who loved strongly. I truly regret not being more in both of their lives, and to have known them better than just by their posts on social media. In my heart I truly feel both Nicholas and Tyler are together watching over all who loved them.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

It's always a shame when someone passes away at a young age especially if it involves a tragic accident. I send my condolences to his parents, his girlfriend, his children, his siblings. You're all in my prayers. R.I.P
