Nicholas Barton Obituary
Nick is the beloved of so many, especially his mother Miriam Barton; his nana Joan Barton, his aunt Eve Barton-Bek and his cousins Matthew, Collin and Olivia Bek. He leaves behind a large and loving family of great aunts, uncles and cousins, and his cat named Perry, who join in sorrow at his passing so soon. Nick was a musical artist and producer, whose music will live on. Nickisgonenow is his 'stage name' and his followers and fans on Youtube and social media also mourn his passing. His 'emo rap' music helped so many young people. He sang what they felt inside. He leaves a legacy of his musical creations, his oh-so-loving spirit, his beautiful soul and smile, and a sense of humor that can still make his loved ones laugh through our tears.
Nick had special compassion for the homeless. So in lieu of flowers etc., please make a donation in his name to the Homeless Coalition of Port Charlotte, 1476 Kenesaw St, Port Charlotte, FL 33948.

Just found his music today, so I googled him in hopes to find a tour in my area. Was saddened to see the news. He was so talented.
Even in his absence he is still reaching (new) people.
He will live on forever in his music and in the people he touches with it.
Thoughts and prayers for him and his family.

Not a day, an hour, or even a moment goes by that you are not on my mind, in my heart, or absent from my thoughts. I am so grateful you are with me intuitively my Nicky. You communicate with me and your mother and we know you are just in the next room. Many of your online fans continue to share with us and your music continues to help many. It does our hearts so much good to read the comments on Youtube, Soundcloud, etc. and know you are still carrying your message to many who listen faithfully to Nickisgonenow. Love you forever my darling Nicholas!! I thank God every day for you!
Love, Nana

Nick,
You shine like the brightest star
With all your brilliant light
When God made you
He made an angel
The sweetest angel
Ever to be created
What a blessing you have been
To all who have known you
Especially for me
To be your Mom
To have the most beautiful
Amazing son ever
Thank you for giving me
So much joy and love in my life
Our love will never end
It will go on and on and on
Like a beautiful rainbow
With no end
You're still here
And I'm always with you
I love you Nick
Forever and Ever
Love,
Mom

You will always be my baby; my beautiful boy.
My wish is that you are at peace.
And we will be together again, and it will be forever!
I love you so much, Nick - to the moon and back!

My Nick Nick, it´s the night before your birthday and I hate that I can´t say Happy Birthday to you. I love you so much and I miss you more than anything. I still can´t believe you´re not here and it will never ever feel ok. I miss your voice, I miss your eyes, I miss your hugs. I just wish you could come back to us. I think about you every day and that will never change. You made me an aunt and I loved every second of it. I love being your aunt and I know you know how much I love you forever. You will always be my Nick Nick and I will always be your EE. I love you Nick. Happy Birthday my sweet Nick.

When the wind blows through my hair, I know it's you;
When I see a flower, I know it's you;
When I look at the clouds, I see you;
When I feel the sun, I feel you.
When I look at the moon, I hear you say:
"What a beautiful moon tonight!"
When I stare at the stars, I hear you ask:
"Is that a shooting star, Mom?"
And then I say, "It sure is, Nick. It sure is."

I miss YOU. Nick, I love you so much; there are no words for how much I love you and how much I miss you. Feel all of my love and feel peace, my angel. We will be together again forever and ever.

Oh my Nick Nick,
I´m still having a hard time putting into words the depth of my sorrow and the never ending love I have for you. I wrote some words that will try to convey my sadness and disbelief of this cruel and everlasting reality.
Noooooooooo Noooooooooo
This isn´t true
This can´t be
Noooo
What?
How?
Whyyyyyyyy!!!
Screaming
Crying
Can´t breathe
Screaming
Pain
Heartache
Absolute heartbreak
The pain
The horror
The disbelief
This can´t be real
How can this be real?
I don´t want this to be real
I want to hug you
I want to tell you I love you
I want to have you here
I want to take the pain away
I´m thankful you were sleeping
I´m thankful you have peace
I´m thankful to tell you I love you whenever I want
I´m thankful you´re with everyone that loves you who went before you
I´m thankful I will see you again
The mornings are the hardest
Waking up and remembering it´s not a nightmare
Waking up to reality
Waking up and needing to live and you´re not here
This will never feel right
This will never be ok
I love you Nick
Your EE loves you

I meet nick through his music on YouTube, I became very fascinated through it and I really like his beats along with that, later on I mustered up the courage to message him on instagram to see if I could buy some beats from him and he was so kind and such a wonderful guy to talk too. I made a few songs with the beats I bought and we talked more, he was so thoughtful and wonderful person, he would give me tips and tricks to better my music and I still use today. We were gonna do a song together as well..rip buddy I will always miss you and wish we did more together..

I found your music about two years ago from a really good friend of mine and it became our thing to listen to you as we spaced cruised around our small town. You will be deeply missed and I can´t believe it, at least you will finally be at peace Listening to you helped me hang on a little longer and have a little happiness in my chaos. For Christmas she messaged you for the lyrics of my favorite songs and it was hands down the best gift I´ve ever gotten

I found your music about 4 years ago now and have been closely following you throughout that time. The relatability of your music and the emotion that was felt from listening to it, helped me through my hardest days. I am very heartbroken to know that someone who has done so much for me without ever really knowing, is gone from this world. My condolences go to your family and your loved ones. May you finally rest in absolute peace. <3
