Nicholas Devine Obituary

NICHOLAS DEVINE

Richland, Wash.

Hillcrest Memorial Center

Nicholas James Devine of Richland was called out to God with his last breath on October 23, 2008, and is now eternally free with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Nicholas was born in Concord, California, on August 24, 1983, and moved to Richland in 1988. Even though Nick was only here for 25 years, he had a lot of dreams and ambition and a very fulfilled life. He always dreamed of becoming a pilot and wanted to serve his country.

He had many hobbies. He loved riding his motorcycle with the wind in his face and flying free. He was a true thrill seeker and embraced every one of those exciting moments put on his path with ease. He was an incredible snowboarder and loved being on the snow-covered mountains. Nick accomplished every project he loved with a passion, no matter how difficult. He enjoyed fishing, swimming and floating the river with his family and friends. He had a heart as big as the ocean and always gave of himself to those he loved, and even to those he didn't know. He loved Mt. Shasta and being outdoors. He was always on the go. He was an amazing carpenter. He was our pride and joy and an amazing daddy to his precious Butterfly ShelbyPaige Nyra.

Mama loved your most beautiful hazel eyes and long eyelashes; we will miss them looking back at us all. You could see Nick's soul in his smile so bright, it was contagious and he made you smile back at him. Whenever anyone asked Nick for help he was always there for them. He loved helping his dad with projects and keeping him company. He always was telling jokes and made people laugh. If you were sad he always offered a hug and told you everything will be okay. I love you son, you are a good boy! You are a true blessing, the memories of you will live forever in our hearts.

Nicholas is survived by his father, Michael Devine Jr.; his mother, Tina Louise Pielstick; fiancŽ, Jessica Ranae Sams; stepfather, Lloyd Pielstick; stepmother, Monica Devine; Godparents, Aunt Denise and Uncle Harry Populis; Grandparents, Michael and Dawn Devine; Bonnie and Lee Pielstick; brothers, Michael Devine III, Mathew Devine, and Gregory Pielstick; sister Journey Pielstick; Aunts and Uncles, Mark and Kim Devine, Judy (Devine) and Bob Generoli, Kelly Janssen, Julie Torson, Barb Lacy, Darren Ceriale, Denise and Mel Haug, and Bruce and Lisa Pielstick; nieces, Madeleine Vanderschoor, Zoe and Rowan Devine; nephew, Gavin Devine; cousins, Shane, Andrea, Kaitlyn and Dylan Devine, Giovanni and Amelia Populis, Kyle Janssen, Leah and Evan Generoli, Brandon Torson, Angie and Joey Haug, Ashley, Amanda, and Alysa Pielstick; and numerous great aunts, uncles, cousins, and many others who were touched by his life and love.

He was preceded in death and in the afterlife by his beloved daughter, ShelbyPaige Nyra Devine; great-grandparents, Pete and Dorothy Allen; grandparents, Nana and Pompa Fisher; Great Uncle Darrell Lacy; and Uncles, Marty Devine and Gregory Ceriale.

You have a special place in the hearts of every one of us.

We miss you terribly. Be at peace now with God and your beautiful Butterfly ShelbyPaige Nyra.

Memorial Services will be held on Monday, November 3, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. at the Living Room Church, 711 Vineyard St., Kennewick, WA 99336. Everyone is welcome and dinner will be provided.

Dearest Nicholas,

It took for you and my 18 year old son Tylor to die to meet your mother.I know things happen for reasons, we don't always see or maybe we do.I am just honored to know your mother and I remember thinking you were one of the kids who passed over that told me to help your mother and I did.She has become a great supporter to me and I too her.She will always remain a Dear Friend in all I do.I know we are here to make a difference in Honor of our sons.Your lives were special the short time we got you.Thank You Nicholas for this Honor and please tell Tylor that I miss him horribly and hug him for me.

Good Morning Son,
Thank you for the feather...a blue one!
I missed you so much on Mother's Day but know you were with me! Kisses to you in heaven Nick.
Well, Greg is all done with school. He did what you did Nick only he waited til 2 months out of High School. It is what it is, but he has a diploma and that's all that matters. He hated all the drama and the time it took in class, just like you, he wanted to get on with his life and school days slowed him down. He works two jobs and is a very hard worker. He's a good boy Nick, you would be proud of him. He still doesn't have a steady girlfriend...he works too much:)He still loves cars, is as handsome as ever and is a beautiful human being.
Journey struggled through her junior year, but she is making it. I pray to God she stays her senior year and graduates RHS. If she does I will take her to Hawaii as a graduation gift. I need to remind her of that. If I save all my money from quitting smoking I can afford to take her, wow what a blast that would be.
I work on a Show Boat son. It is interesting, the show is amazing, and I love working again. I get free passes into many of the shows in town. Last night we went to the Historic Titanic. It was very interesting. They give you a "Boarding Pass" when you start and it has a "real" persons name on it and it tells a bit about the person. But you don't get to learn their fate until the end. I was Rosa "Rhoda" Abbott age 39. She was married to a famous Boxer and had two son's. Her story was incredible, and in the end she "Survived" the Titanic...so I survived, but her son's perished! Kind of ironic.
It's Sat and the sun is hot today, I am gonna lay by the pool and try and get a little color on my white legs.
I miss you as always Nicholas James. Thank you too for the penny's.
Oh, one more thing. I put up a humming bird feeder last week. Well I got my first hummer 4 days later. He is a beautiful green male. I also have a tan and brown one that visits that would be the female. I am reminded of Nana by these beautiful birds, Nana aways had humming bird feeders. The lady that bought the bird feeder for me for Mother's Day,is like a mom to me and guess what Nick? They have a dog named Molly the same kind of dog Nana had. Trip huh?!!! God is good...all the time.
I miss you handsome. Come see me in my dreams sweet boy. I love you with all my heart, and miss you to the ends of the universe.
I love you more~

May 11, 2012

Good morning Nicholas my Beautiful Boy,
Some days are good, some days are alright, then some days are still horrible. I am greatful for each day the good Lord gives to me, but emotionally I am still struggling...will God ever let allow me to get hold of my emotions that run wild about losing you son. 3 1/2 years after your death and I STILL feel so hurt, so lost, so sad and so broken. Just when I think I am gonna be alright, I fall to pieces AGAIN. I don't get it. I tell myself it will get better and I will be okay, and your death will be easier to accept with time. But It's BS Nick. It isn't getting easier...that is not even the proper word. Different maybe, but easy??? Never. There hasn't been or Isn't and never will be anything "easy" about losing you Nick.
Mother's Day is coming again....arggg! I swear I feel like "half" a mom!!! How's that for a feeling? :(( Some days I just cry and cry missing you. Some days I wake up sad...then all day the tears just roll and roll. This is one of those days.
Everyone moves on in life and I know they don't have the LOVE , MEMORIES or FEELINGS, attached to you as I do, so they just live on. But me, well I just pretend, fake it, go with it, whatever....try to get through all the emotions and memories that bombard me all the time.
I am greatful for having you for 25 years Nicholas, YOU WERE A BLESSING and nothing less. But, I JUST MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH son.
Today I am sad, I miss you I miss you I miss you. I wish I could hug you so bad, just one little hug. I wish I could call you and tell you of all the joys, all the "whatever's" going on in my life today. Oh, you don't know how many times I needed to call you!!!
I am sober Nick, I know you know. But my heart still aches from losing you. I still don't know what happened!!! I wonder if I ever will. And when I find out, then what? Will It open a different can of worns that will destroy whats left of my heart for good?
I haven't found a penny for a few weeks, or a feather Nick, I feel so sad and long to see you, hear from you. I love you my dear son, I love you. I miss you like the flowers miss the rain, I need you the same.
I love you more Nick Nick.
Hugs Moma~

We love you and miss you son so much. Life is so different.

I MISS YOU NICK, and LOVE YOU ENDLESSLY!!!
Many do not understand me, my grief, my loss, the pain and the suffering that comes along with losing a child!!!! So many times we suffer in silence! :(( Sad but true, I know from experience.

i love you baby and i will write you later. hug and kisses to you my lovely son.
one day i will " live" again, but i am still coping and surviving.
i can't help it nick, i try i try everyday to be happy to have some kind of peac with your death but it hasn't come to stay yet. it visits for a short time then it vanishes....it hurts so bad to know my child no linger breathes the air i breath and enjoys the beautiful things in and of life.
i often think that you want me happy and i try and try just to move forward but it's two steps forward and one step back thus far!!!

Good Morning Handsome Son,
I love you sweet boy...miss you every damn day, I wish I could hug you and never let you go:((
When I come to this site I see "your" name in the obits and STILL cannot believe I see your name here...it hurts so bad and it seems that it can't be real, not my Beautiful Boy, not my Nick Nick!!!
It's nearing the 3 year mark and I can't believe that either! How do us Moma's survive the greatest pain of all...the death of our beautiful children?!!
Forever altered, forever changed, forever missing you Nicholas.
I wonder who you'd be today? I love you sweet boy and miss you more than any words can say.
Be with me this Sat, son. You and God as my witness's. I know Nana, uncle Greg, you and Shelby Bear will all be standing with me:))
I love you more, Moma~

Hi Tina,
Just finished reading all about your baby boy. He was and is profoundly loved by you and so many other's. What a magnificent loss for you and your loved one's! My heart aches for your unimaginable pain,,,there are no words. As I was reading your posts and so many others a poem by Ee Cummings came to mind...This is only a part of this beautiful poem.

"I carry your heart with me,
I carry your heart in my heart,
I am never without you."

We met today. I hope to hear from you soon!
Peace and Quiet to you! Lorrie~~ [email protected]
I will be at the club Saturday @ 5pm for speaker mtg. Hope to see you soon!

Hi Sweet boy,
I don't post here much anymore, mostly on gonetoosoon and of course your blog.
Greg's Birthday was great, he is such a good boy Nick, you would be so proud of him.
My birthday was awful, I was so depressed. It didn't even feel like my birthday yesterday. Lots of reasons, I'm glad it's over!!!
Today's a new day and the sun is shining. I am trying to have a better attitude today son. I miss you so much Nick. Life is so different that's all I can say life is different.
I have more good days then bad by far, but I still struggle with losing you son. I will never be "over" it, never. I miss your smile, your laugh, your eyes, your hugs, your love. I miss you I miss you, always.
I love you more, Moma~

Hi sweet son,
Well I see I last posted here on my new sobriety date. I am still going strong son, praise God. Sobriety looks good on Moma son, I know you are proud of me, and I am so proud of myself.
I am so very blessed son to have you as my loving son. All 25 years, one month and 23 days!!! You were an amazing person Nick, kind, funny, loving, smart, handsome and my BOY.
I am learning to live without you son, sober!!! Reality has never been harder, as I am seeing things through sober eyes I realize how lost I was in the first 27 months of your passing. I always knew I was lost, but I just didn't know how much til I sobered up!!! I also didn't truly believe I would make it, the pain of losing you was too great "I Thought". Well, I was wrong, dead wrong, God has bigger plans for me, even through all the trauma and drama, He loves me and wants me to prevail, so I will. He knows what time and day I will be with you and it won't be of my own doing. I miss you and love you so much Nick, and still think of you a hundred times a day, at least. You are so beautiful son.
It rained yesterday and I thought of you a lot. I had a rough day yesterday, but feeling better this morning. I know you are watching over me son, I feel you with me always.
Your brother and sister are growing up so fast. Journey is so beautiful and a good girl, Greg is handsome as ever and looks more and more like you every day. He is a good boy, so compassionate and soft.
We all love and miss you so much son, our lives will never be the same without you.
Thank you so for giving me so many beautiful years, your life your love your heart, to me will always be blessings upon blessings that I will carry in my heart forever.
I miss you sweet son, always miss you. I love you beyond the stars and moon. I love you more,

January 8, 2011

I am a bereaved Mother & Grandparent. I lost my son Oct. 23, 08 and granddaughter June of 08. My heart hurts. I have 2 other kids, they are wonderful, 14 and 15. Married and live in Wa

All I Know Is...

All I know is.... I will always miss my Nick and long for him.
All I know is.... one minute I'm together and the next I'm falling apart.
All I know is.... my heart hurts all the time and it has never felt whole since the day he died.
All I know is.... the tears won't stop filling up my eyes, soaking my pillows or staining my face.
All I know is.... I "Really Really" miss him.
All I know is.....it hurts ALL the time.
All I know is.....I want him back.
All I know is.....sometimes I want him so badly, that I want to go to him.
All I know is.... there is no greater ache in this world than my child dying.
All I know is.....I love him, even in death, I love him so much.

Nicholas,
They published my poem to you on FFP under son death poems. I am honored and have great humility.
I hate that it has to be a poem about my son dieing...that still doesn't sound right....will it ever???? Probably not. It is a very large pill to swallow....One a parent should never have to....
I love you my Beautiful Boy....I miss you terribly still. New year or not, it doesn't bring you back, it doesn't take away my hurt, it doesn't change the truth about your death, it is just another year. I am trying oh with all my might to summon up enough energy daily to move one step forward toward love, light, life and it is still so draining and difficult. Give me strength Lord, Give me Grace as I trudge this road of turmoil, pain, disbelief, longing, aching, frustration, sadness, and Extreme anguish!!!!
I love you Nick Nick...
I love you more Moma~

my heart feels cold today....

January 1, 2011

***Nick,
They call it "Happy New Years Day"....All just call it another day and another year to try to get through missing you and loving you so much that it wont stop hurting!!! I wouldn't exactly call it a "Happy" new year, and I'm not sure I would call it a "Sad" new year...it's just another year, and I am happy about some things and I am sad about a lot still!!!
I hate that another year has begun without you in it, and here with me!!!! I hate it with a passion. I am glad there is a new year to try and do new things again, so I can try to live with the greatest loss in and of my life ( LOSING YOU SON)!!!! There is a grieving going on inside of me today that is just awful!!! It is coming from knowing that there is another year gone by and another a head without you, It is a terrible thing to feel. I want to leave all the hurt, pain, anger and turmoil of 2010 in 2010, but when I think Of doing that it makes me feel like if I do that, that somehow I am leaving YOU there too. And i can't do that, I must take you with me, for you are in my heart. And so every year and every memory must come with me too, GOOD or BAD, they are apart of me now too...always just as you are and always will be.
Please come give me a pleasant visit in my dreams tonight son...please come hug me, talk to me, and be with me for awhile, please Nick, I want to see you!!!! I miss you so much:( How does a human beings heart live day after day with this much pain, this much grief, this much sorrow, this much, this much this much.....
It's a new year, alright....not sure whats new about it yet! As of right now, everything feels and sounds and looks the same...I feel the same, I look the same, and I probably sound the same...SAD & TIRED!!!!!!!
I love you son....
Moma~

***Missing You***

December 25, 2010

***My Dearest Nicholas***
Today I miss you probably worse than any other day, except for your Birthday, Mother's Day and my birthday!!!
Christmas was always about Jesus and His love for us, but it was also about giving gifts to my children and seeing thier faces light up as they were surprised by all the wonderful they received on Christmas Day. God how I miss the enjoyment of shopping, the fun in wrapping the gifts, the saound of your voice and laughter on Christmas Morning, and all the memories and pictures we would take each year. I miss seeing you grow, watching you change, into a more beautiful man thean you already were! I miss your hugs and "hello pretty Moma" on Christmas morning, I miss seeing your beautiful face, I miss you hugging me. I miss you playing with your little brother and sister, and helping them put thier new toys and things together to make them work. I miss having you at the dinner table with us and watching you eat like you were eating for an army:)
I am cooking dinner this year though, all of it, I'm going all out. I will have a place for you at the table son, you will be here in spirit if not at all.
I miss you so much today it hurts!!!
Lloyd and the kids went to Gr, Pielstick's of course. I stayed back to finish cooking our Christmas dinner. I do not feel like putting on a FAKE-FACE or pretending to smile just to please or appease ANYONE!!! Truth is, I am sad and missing you and choose not to share my grief with them. It is such a private personal pain I feel losing you son, and they do not understand my heartache!!!
I love you more than words can say, and I miss you beyond explaination!!!
I will write you later my son. I just wanted to send you hugs and kisses today. Please give Nana, Greg, ShelbyPaige, and the rest of our family hugs from Moma. Tell Jesus I said Happy Birthday and even though I don't act like it sometimes, I do love Him.
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you....I love you more, forevermore,
Moma~

Hi sweet boy,
I love you so much son, missing you like more than ever!!!
We put our tree up honey. I only put 3 ornaments on it. One for each of you kids. A golden star for you, A silver dragonfly for Greg and a beautiful green butterfly for Journey. Then Greg put a set of pretty blue lights on it. It looks beautiful, simple but pretty. Greg and Journey said they like it just like it is. I told them that's fine, I just want to add Uncle Greg's glass ice cycles up and then we can be done. So, I put those up just now, and it is done! It looks great:) I will take a picture and send it on, okay?
I love you so much sweet boy. I will write later.
I love you more Moma~

Hi sweet boy,
I love you and miss you so much Nick, 2 years and still it feels like yesterday that you were gone from my life forever, at least until we meet in heaven. That Nick is the only thing that gives me hope today, is knowing I WILL see you again. To us it will seem like forever, the days are so long without you. But God says our 1,000 years is like a day to him, so I just keep saying one more day, one more day I can get through this.
The first year I was so numb, and all I felt was pain...in shock and cpmplete denial that you passed away.I know I know it doesn't make sense, how can I be numb and yet still feel pain. It is so hard to understand. My mind and brain were frozen in time and yet my heart screamed and cried out to you my son every hour of every day, for nearly 2 years straight. Now it is 2 years since you have been gone and the numbness has worn off for the most part. Now all I feel is pain, wishing you were here, and there is no denying you are gone!!! It is reality slapping me in the face every minute of every day, reminding me that you are gone. I just realized about 2 weeks ago, that I am just barely beginning to accept the fact that it is real, you are gone, and you will not be walking through our door again. I hate that...I hate it I hate it!!!
Like I said at the beginning of this letter to you son. The ONLY thing that gives me any kind of peace of mind, and any amount of sanity, is Knowing that I do have hope of seeing you again, not here on earth but certainly in heaven. If I didn't have that hope Nick, I couldn't live one minute without you!!!
Always on my mind, forever in my heart...you are still here with me Nick. I will NEVER forget you...I love you and always will love you. I know this much is true. Your body has died, but your spirit lives on, like Jesus' you my love are still alive!!!That is the hope we have in Jesus Christ. I would not make it without my faith.I will make it because of it.
I will write you later my son. I love you and miss you so so so very much Nick...I miss you....
I love you more, forevermore

Hi sweet Angel,
Today was National Survivor's of Suicide Day. I watched the 2010 webcast, and could relate so much with what others were saying. I would love to go to New York in June 2011 to participate in my first walk " Out of Darkness" in your name honey. I need a huge financial blessing for that to happen. I pray I can go, I would love to experience that.
I miss your love, hugs and kisses sweet son...I always want you here with me. You are deep in my heart son, but I miss your hugs, your voice, your laughter, you!! I miss you.
Have a beautiful night in heaven sweet son, and I'll see you on the other side. Save a place for me son...
I love you more ~moma~

Hi son,
Well we all carved but this year except for Lloyd, he was trying all not to get Gregs Acura on the road cause Greg sold his Eclipse. He's gonna use some of that $ to get it running great, new rims and tires ( you know how important it is to have nice rims and tires :) and he and Lloyd will give a shiny new paint job.
Greg didn't dress up this year but he went with friends and watched a movie. Journey dressed up with her friend Lynsie as old ladies, and man did they ever look the part:) then they went Trick-or-Treating with Casey and Tressa who dressed as a hippy
and a black cat, imagine that group! Ha ha ha, they all looked great! Then they ame back here for a bit and I took then out a little while longer. We had a great night. Of course she got a good amount of candy and treats too:)
I did get pictures of our pumpkins and the girls, but I still don't have my computer back. I will send pics when I do.
I have had body aches and nit feeling very well all weekend, I'm feeling a litttle better today. Journey missed 5 days of school last week, and Greg missed 2, so the crude is going around again, it's that time of year.
Lloyd is working at the dam this year again I think it's his last season out there. But at least he is home:) he was gone so much earlier this year in Kwaj and Texas, it's good to have him home for awhile.
I miss you son, I always miss you:( you may be in heaven but there isn't a day in my life that goes by that you are nit thought of, missed and loved!!! We all miss you sweet boy.
I will write you later son and add some pics okay?! I love you and miss you so much Nick.
Hugs and kisses, I love you more

Hi my Beautiful Son,
I love you my sweet boy, I love and miss you so very very much still son!!! It is so hard to believe that tomorrow will be 2 years since God called your name to come home!!! I cannot believe that I have been suffering this long, and haven't died! I didn't know it was ever possible for one human being to go through so much grief, pain, agony, heartache, terrible suffering and still be breathing!!! I swear only by Gods grace...only!!! Somedays son, I am barely breathing...just like the song says!!! Somedays I still pull the covers back up over my head when I wake up and pray for more sleep, because somedays I still can't fathom the truth of my reality!!! Somedays I lay on the couch in my pajammas...all freaking day and night ling!!! Somedays I get drunk first thing in the morning because I can't fall back to sleep, I'm lonely, and it hurts so bad that It hurts my head to even stand up. Somedays the tears just roll out of my eyes and down my cheeks like a dam that has broken!!! Somedays, somedays, somedays....when I add them all up, I don't think I have had a single day with pain, tears, anger, fear, loneliness, since you been gone my sweet boy!!! It's awful, just awful!!!! I miss you so freaking much...I moss you beyond words, beyond description, beyond this world!!! I love you my Nick Nick....I love you more ~moma~

October 11, 2010

Hi my sweet sweet Nicholas,
I just wanted to stop here to say "I LOVE YOU MORE" MY BEAUTIFUL BOY!!! I still Blog and visit your gone too soon site. I still text you and write songs and poems for you.
I still MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY my Beautiful son. It only gets harder as time goes on. I talked to a moma today from Mass. who lost her son in a car accident 18 years ago on Oct 5th!!! I asked her...
What is it like to be 18 years into this??? She said the same as it does for you Tina only longer!!! Her words were so profound, and touched me deep. I know I will always miss you and I will never be the same or ever get over this...EVER!
I miss you son...so so much:( This month is so hard for me.It is a very dark month for me, I hate Holloween anyway. I know when your older it can be fun going to parties and things, and for the kids when they are small to get candy, but at this point, I hate it...it's a dark month and always will be now. I do love one thing about Oct...it is Autum and absolutely beautiful outside, the trees and all, the air is cool and it just looks so pretty.
I love you Nicholas James. Moma misses you so very much. ugs and kisses to you my boy. I love you more ~Moma~

My dear sweet son,
I love you sweetie and miss you so very much, everyday of my life. I wanted to share something with you though...
I wont ever "get over it" just through it...
I wont ever get by it, beause I can't get around it...
It doesn't " get better", It just gets different...
Everyday grief puts on a new face.
This is exactly how I feel. Exactly.
But I am learning new ways to cope and grow from our horrible tragidy of losing you. Right now I must focus and work on working things out for myself. I put things off for about a year, right or wrong...I did. But now I am actively pursuing a healthy way to accept what has happened, and to take what has been put in front of me and use it for the good of all of us.
All throughout my days Nick, there are many times that you are the topic and thoughts in my mind, and many times that I am reminded of you in one way or another. Some not so good, but the majority are getting better.
It isnt just in the tragic way you left here, but also the fact that I JUST SIMPLY MISS YOU HERE WITH ME!!! To hug you, see you, hold you, love you, hear you,kiss you, talk to you, watch you grow up, and to have meals with you, to go places with you....just to be near you!!! It is still all so paiful:( Only a MOTHER who has lost her child can truly understand "ME" and all that the loss intails. I am still very hurt and angry that you lfet, but I do not blame you son, as I KNOW your grief and extreme pain!!!
I listen to your music, I wear your clothes, I smell your cologne, I kiss your pictures, and I hold your treasures often. They bring me comfort. I miss you baby...I miss you beyond belief:(
I hope you are having a heavely day. I will write you later my Handsome man.
I love you more ~ Moma ~
