I’ve known Nick since he was 10 years old. He has always been very kind, compassionate and caring. The world has lost a tremendous person. Although he’s in a better place now in heaven with God and at peace, he will be deeply missed. - Greg Gallegos
My fondest memory was the day I was at Susie's house when Nick and Scott were packing him up for college. As they were driving down the street they were yelling and waving out the window about freedom....I remember thinking how he was so happy to start... moreMy fondest memory was the day I was at Susie's house when Nick and Scott were packing him up for college. As they were driving down the street they were yelling and waving out the window about freedom....I remember thinking how he was so happy to start that new adventure in his life. He was such an easy boy to love. He will be greatly missed. 💚 less

He would smile at you and always had encouraging words for people . I can tell you this he was an absolute warrior on the football field and I would follow this man into war if he was leading me. I didn’t know Nick later in life but I could tell he was a leader and someone that Christ would be proud of . Let him him rest with the lord now , Nick your work is done we are proud of you . less
Sweet Nick, you had a way with people. I was always struck by the way you engaged in conversation how you really listened. Kindness does not come naturally to everyone but was so natural for you. Your Uncle Kevin loved meeting up with you at weddings... moreSweet Nick, you had a way with people. I was always struck by the way you engaged in conversation how you really listened. Kindness does not come naturally to everyone but was so natural for you. Your Uncle Kevin loved meeting up with you at weddings and such, he has such fond memories of going to you and Scott’s football games-proud uncle for sure! I love this pic of you two.
We will miss you Nicholas♥️ less

What a gentle, generous and curious soul Nicholas sounds to have been. I'm so sorry that those who loved him have lost the joy of his physical presence.

I'm so sorry that those who loved him have lost the joy of his physical presence. I suspect he would be one to embrace you during this time, if he could.....I hope that the arms of others who care for you, and the memory of Nicholas' most vibrant self, will sustain you in your grief. less
Nick: Promised to write one last letter of recommendation to get you into heaven. But you are already there brother. You will be missed and eternally loved.

“We’re such a good fit. Beautiful energy! I love your energy.”
"I love that you never miss a sunrise or a sunset...we're gonna see lots of sunsets together -- we're gonna be best friends."
"I'm excited to make a vegan meatloaf with my mom; we can share it."

"(Life) feels so good."
Nicholas thought music and dancing said a lot about a person. He regenerated in nature, was mostly plant-based and loved energy work. He thought of himself as a "spiritually minded, tantra curious, cuddle fiend." He was so excited about his work, patients, and dreams of opening his wellness center. He loved to dance, smile, laugh, joke, hike, learn and talk forever about everything, play video games (chess, Red Dead Redemption, and golf). He loved to relax lazing by the river with dogs. Nicholas was very romantic, deep, spiritually high vibrational, compassionate, empathetic, insightful, profound, kind, thoughtful, considerate, loving, warm, incredibly sweet, very caring, chivalrous, and a totally affectionate, super cuddly lovey dovey. He identified with wolves and loved Thai food a lot lately. He was exceedingly passionate about bringing higher therapy to his patients and loved them all individually in tremendous ways that exemplified his phenomenal heart and magnanimous spiritual connection with all sentient beings. He was peaceful, dedicated, driven, hard working, emotionally present in the most relaxed yet focused way, and he always made you feel loved. He is made of love and resplendent energy.
I will always remember the last time we saw each other: cuddling and stories, curl pull, smile, and wee Irish side kick down the hall. Sweet and hilarious. So unbelievably easy to love. We'd only just begun...
The hardest part was waiting a lifetime to meet you. Until we meet again, my new best friend, eternal love, 'I choose you' too.
~ Your "Beks," eternally

To "the real deal"...from your "real deal"...Until we meet again, my heart…my new best friend. You have changed me forever and I am profoundly grateful to have had the blessing of knowing and loving your gorgeous spirit. I feel you with us all. I see you. This was a night of clarity for us. The hardest part was a lifetime waiting to meet you. I love you, eternally. less

Nicholas' final pictures he took. We saw a double rainbow, then a triple, then another double. He was in heaven, and always will be. He even joked that he was an angel when we first met. (He is a bit of a rebel) less
