Nicholas Griffith Obituary
Nicholas Erling Griffith left us way too early. He was born on January 12, 1993 and died at the age of 23. He always lived his life to the fullest and especially loved outdoor adventuring. In a tragic accident on September 4, 2016, the four-wheeler he was riding in overturned on a trail in the Naches wilderness.
Nick graduated from Bothell High School in 2011 and then attended Northwest Lineman College in Idaho. Through his hard work, he landed his dream job as a Lineman Apprentice with Seattle City Light. He was excited and full of life with his work, his family and friends, and his beloved dog, Loki.
He leaves behind a broken-hearted family; parents Greg and Anita Griffith and brother, Nathan Griffith; loving grandparents Erling ("Beste") and Hjordis ("Mor Mor") Berg and Grandma Jean Griffith; and a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins.
A Memorial Service will be held at the First Lutheran Church of Bothell, WA on September 17, 2016 at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Lakeside Bible Camp, P.O. Box 310, Clinton, WA, 98236.

It saddens me everyday to think about how loss such an amazing young man,he had a heart of gold and loved everyone around him. I was his baseball coach for a couple of years and truly enjoyed him and his goofiness. He is Mr Granola. Whatbi mean is he would eat granola bars out in centerfield as the baseball games would go on lol.... He was such a great kid, he was nice to everyone , his attitude was always great and enjoyed his friends and family very much. Nicholas even worked with myself a few times before he went off to school and he was such a hard worker and never complained about anything. 2 weeks ago I just saw Nicholas in his big yellow Seattle City Light truck and he was so happy that he had this job. I am so happy for him he got to enjoy his hard work where he got, God will forever take care of him and now Nick can enjoy his life in heaven. You will be missed Nicholas. Play ball and eat granola.

Words cannot express how sad I am over the loss of this Wonderful young man! I have had this page open on my I--pad for several days trying to think of the perfect words to express how sad we all are, how much we will miss his smiling face, and of all the great memories we have of Nick, but how do you put it into words?
I remember the baseball games, the trips to Big Lake or Lake McMurray, the Camping Trip off Washington pass and so much more. Nick was a big part of Andrew's life, which in turn made him a big part of ours. I am grateful for the memories and I look forward to seeing him again in our forever home, Heaven! I am sure Nick is there now doing all the things he loves!
May the Love of Jesus Christ help you through your grief of the loss of your son taken home way to young for reasons we will never understand.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
