Nicholas was born in Harlingen but lived in McAllen all his life. He was skilled in auto mechanics. He was a jack of all trades and enjoyed the challenge. Nick had a passion for animals especially dogs and always managed to make a home for them. His hobbies consisted of surfing, BMX, Hot rods, motorcycles, skateboarding and BBQing with his friends.
Nick was the type of person who was always willing to help anyone in need. In his short life Nick made an abundance of friends. He will be remembered as a jokester with a big heart who enjoyed making others laugh.

Nick is survived by his mother, Virginia R. Cadena; his father, Leroy Cadena; a brother, Kristopher Cadena, all of McAllen; maternal grandmother, Ofelia Recio of Donna; and paternal grandparents, Leola and Rogelio Cadena, of Weslaco.
