I wish I would have known Nick better so that I could have experienced the warmth, kindness, energy, compassion and humor that he shared with you and with everyone who knew him. He was a gift from God to all of you, a gift that you will treasure for a lifetime...and a gift that you will miss. Thanks be to God for enhancing your lives with Nick! Please call upon me if I can be of any help.

As a bridesmaid in Max and Megans wedding I have many fond memories of Nick. The one I hold closest to my heart was when Nick got down on one knee and proposed to me after I caught Megans bouquet at the reception. He acted so serious and it was so funny and of course i said yes. It would have been an honor to marry someone as handsome, charming and caring as Nick. I am so sorry for your loss, Nick is one of a kind. Love to you all
