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, N.C.; grandparents, Jerry and Diane Weis of Pinehurst, N.C., Lynn Christman of Burlington, N.C., Al Christman of Grove City, Pa.; and great-grandfather, Chester Hammond of Cannan, N.H.; aunts and uncles, Kathy and Dave Yereb of Winchester, Va., Eric and Jill Weis of Alamo, Calif., John and Marie Riedesel of Carthage, N.C.; 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 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 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 2, 2010 at Lowe Funeral Home and Crematory.

I am very sorry for your loss. Words can't express what a blessing your son was. He was one of God's best angels. I would be riding down the road going to work, trying to think of all the bad things that were going to happen that day at work, and then this wonderful little voice would come on the radio and tell one of his jokes and I would just forget all my troubles and would laugh my head off. He was a very special little person and he touched alot of people. He will be truely missed, but just remember that one day you will see him again, because he is in heaven now with all the other angels making them laugh. God Bless you for raising a fine little man.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Weis family. I had heard Nicholas many times on the radio telling jokes and being extremely entertaining. It makes me sad in a way I cannot express to hear of his passing, but I will continue to smile because that is what he wanted everyone to do.
To Heather and Jon, you are amazing parents who had an amazing son. You are inspiring to me as a parent, and the lessons you have shown everyone have truely touched all of our hearts. God bless.

Rob and I are thinking of all of you today who are with Nicholas, Heather and Jon at the Celebration of Life ceremony. We were lucky enough to be able to finally meet Nicholas in person a few months ago in Las Vegas. We had heard so much about him and his positive influence on so many that we feel blessed to have known him, even for such a short while. May God give you all the strength and joy you need to continue your own journies in life!

God put Nicholas here on earth for the resons of putting hope in to hearts of us all who came to know him wether in person or through his many activities. Each night when you look to the heavens look for the brightest star and that will be Nicholas shining down on all of us as his smile shined brightly each and every day of his life...

I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my son 5 years ago at 11 years old with AML LEUKEMIA. It is so hard but God will see you through. I listened to his jokes on the radio and they made me smile because I KNEW he had so much strength and courage. He was very special but just remember he isn't sick anymore and is in the most beautiful place there is. May the good Lord be with you and bless you and know that someone that's been there is praying for you! Love in Christ, Linda Campos

It was a joy everytime I heard Nicholas on the radio and I'm certain he has touched the heart of many. It must be hard to let go of such a special young man, however it's got to be a peace to know that he is enjoying walking on the shores of heaven with our Heavenly Father and waiting for his family and friends.

Nicholas was a true blessing to everyone he came in contact with. My sons would come into my room some mornings just to listen to his jokes. He was so cheerful and his laugh was contagious. He will be truly missed by all...However I am so thankful that he is no longer hurting...no child should ever have to suffer that way. He now has his angel wings and he was so deserving of them.
May God bless and keep the family through this sorrowful time.

I never met Nicholas but I wake up to The Wolf every morning and heard his jokes.( It's really nice to a family country music station, especially since WPCM left us.) He always sounded so happy and full of joy. He would put a grin on my face every time..:) My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Just keep praying and talking to the Lord, He will get you through....:)

Dr Mr and Mrs Weis, Nicholases jokes and howls will be missed by many. i can tell u the pain gets easier but never goes away. i lost my daughter in 1985 and her death date ia approaching and i still feel that ripping in my chest and nichilas if u could would u please teach her how to blow out birthday candles..she only had one birthday on earth so her big brother never got to show her how so if a chubby blue eyes blond haired angel girl tugs on ure robe for a hug could u give her one for us. i beleive all childen play in heaven together with their familiy members who are there standing with them watching and laughing at the good time u all are having. and when she died her brother just had one question...and that was was Jesus"s mother painting her fingernails now? would u check that out for us please? i know your mom and dad will miss u like crazy but i get signs from Kimberlie to let me know that she watches over us all and im sure u will do the same for your mom and dad
Praying for u all,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I've been on the "Ride for the Kids" for the past 3 years and have enjoyed seeing Nicholas and all of the other children. Nicholas came to some of the Ladies Of Harley Meetings and was always happy to spend time with the girls. He will be missed.
