Thank you for picking the best guard dog ever for your sister. RED
I only knew and told your niece and nephew that we were getting a dog and his name would be Red because I spiritually knew it. I told kids we are getting a dog and its name is going to be Red because you loved the Blake Shelton song old red. Then, Cassy got off bus one day, I was sitting on patio, and I looked and asked if she wanted a dog. We picked up Jameson, went to Coon Rapids, and RED was there waiting for us. Thank you for leading us to him. Thank you, Nick. Old Red is happy here. Memories continue after your physical passing because you are spiritually still in the physical realm. It isn't the same but it is still something. xoxo

Dana may you have comfort knowing that Nick is at peace now. He will always be watching over you and Cody. Remember to always reach out to others when you need help and support, you don't have to raise little Cody alone. Nick will be greatly missed by many. Stay strong. Lots of love is being sent your way.

At times like these, words are never enough it seems. Hans Christian Andersen said it best when he said "A human life is a story told by God". Nick told a wonderful story that will be forever remembered by all whose life he touched. To the Opse family, to Dana, and little Cody, my sympathies and love go out to you at such a difficult time

Dana, Cody, Brandy and Family,
I cannot adequately express my sadness at the passing of such a sweet and gentle man. I wish for you the continued joy of having known such a wonderful soul and the peace of knowing that he is beyond pain and now watches over you.

Nick was a customer and friend of mine for over 10 years. He was always such a mellow and laid back guy. He liked to try to get a better deal on tools by asking for the "family discount." It always seemed to work. My young daughter had a huge crush on Nick and would ask me every Thursday, "Did you see Nick Oops today?" She thought his last name was "OOPS". He always smiled and turned red when I would tell him she was crushing on him.
