Nicholas Weis Obituary
Nicholas' life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His smile and laugh could melt the hearts of those around him.
Nicholas possessed strength, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. With his courage, he led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. He loved his radio "job" telling his jokes on 93.1 The Wolf which helped people start their day with a smile and laugh. Nicholas was also heard on G105 and remembered for his participations in the Bob's Buddies Radiothons for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. He loved school, reading books, telling jokes, attending Monster Jam events, riding on his Dad's motorcycle and going to the beach. He was an honorary Blue Knight and was an ambassador for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation in an effort to spread awareness, encouragement and hope in the pursuit of a cure for this terrible disease. He never met a stranger and truly appreciated all of his friends, listeners and his River Mill Academy Family.
With Nicholas' passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him every day, especially his constant smile, contagious laugh and the signature thumbs up. He will forever remain in our hearts. Through his teachings about hope, courage, strength and love for life, we were able to create a lifetime of wonderful memories in just a few short years. It has been an honor and privilege to be his parents.
Nicholas is survived by his parents, Jonathan and Heather Weis of Mebane; grandparents, Jerry and Diane Weis of Pinehurst, Lynn Christman of Burlington, Al Christman of Grove City, PA; great-grandfather, Chester Hammond of Cannan, NH; aunts and uncles, Kathy and Dave Yereb of Winchester, VA, Eric and Jill Weis of Alamo, CA, John and Marie Riedesel of Carthage; cousins, Alexa and Lauren Weis, Holly and Lydia Riedesel. Thousands of extended "family" through the radio audiences.
We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous outpouring of support that our family has received during this most challenging time. All of the thoughts and prayers gave us the courage we needed to get through each day.
A celebration of life service will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, July 3, 2010 at The Lamb’s Chapel with Pastor Bob Templeton officiating. Interment will follow at Alamance Memorial Park.
The family will receive friends 2:00-4:00 p.m. and 6:00-8:00 p.m. Friday, July 2, 2010 at Lowe Funeral Home and Crematory.

Family and Friends remember, God makes no mistakes. "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." 2 Corn. 5:8. May God blessing continues to be with the family at such a time as this.

Although I never met Nicholas or saw him anywhere, I could tell from his times on the radio that he was an amazing young man with a special zest for life. I hope we can all learn a lesson from this courageous young man and remember that when the going gets tough God is there to carry us. My thoughts and prayers go out to his parents and all of his very extensive "family" that grew to love him just through hearing his voice on the radio. C.Bailey (Eden, NC)

I just wanted to say I heard your son's jokes on "the wolf" radio show a lot of mornings, and he sounded like such a mature sweet boy. We wonder sometimes why God gives us someone we love so much, and then "takes him away".....You son's time on earth was short indeed, but I bet he has touched and blessed more people in his short little life, than some have if they lived to be one hundred. I hope this helps to bless you and give you comfort until you see him again.

I first saw Nicholas in Ladson, SC, at a Jake Owen show. He immediately made me laugh with his high-spirited "Yee Haw!" I saw him at several other Jake Owen shows and always looked forward to his jokes and laugh. I will always remember his spirit and how comfortable he seemed on stage. He was an amazing kid.
