Words cannot explain why you were taken away from us so young, so soon. and why It had to be you. Never will I understand any of those questions. And If All I have is memories of you, then I’m going to cherish those forever until the day I get to see you again. You were loved by so many, and there wasn’t a person on this earth like you with your smile and the way you made everyone so happy. Not and enemy in sight. And if someone did not get the chance to know you, they definitely missed out on such an awesome good son/brother/friend/relative. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Thank you for putting an impact on not just my life, but everyone else who loved you. My prayers are with you and and your family everyday! That smile and voice will be in my head forever. I miss you sooo much, Nick.
"you'll always be a part of me
i'm a part of you indefinitely”
Thanks for the memories.

May 10, 2007

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then


In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

Nick,
I love you and miss you so much. I can't even explain. I miss your smile and the way you do things. All your stupid questions you would ask so everything would turn out perfect. I miss when you would say "You know what I mean?" after everything you talked about. I remember that night, I asked you what you were going to do. You said, "I'm gonna go to my favorite cool sisters house who lets me have friends over." I was so excited. I just wish we can go back to that night so I could talk you in to staying the night and I wish that I didn't ask Megan and Megan to sleepover because then I think you would of went to sleep. I wish you would of told me that you were leaving. I heard you call my name and I answered back, but that was it. I thought you went to sleep. I should of checked on you, but I thought you were ok. I am so happy that I got to be with you that night. I will never forget you. Thank you for being the best brother anyone could have. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Take care of all of us especially mom.

I will always love you and miss you forever.

Nick-
Sometimes I think that this is all a dream and all i have to do is wake up and it will be over, or that your just on a long vacation to just get away for a while and sooner or later you will come back. And then there's days when reality hits. Your warm heart, big smile, love for music will be a memory of you forever. I will always admire the love you had for your family and how well you took care of your mom and sisters. You were always such a good brother. I wish I could have a chance to thank you for being such a good friend. You touched my heart in so many ways.
~You'll always be my favorite DJ and dance partner!~

Nick, I love u and miss u so much. I will never forget you. I know u are looking down on all of us and watching everything we do. I know u will take care of us and always be there for us. This is the worst thing that I ever had to go though. I don’t know what to do without you. Work is just not the same without u. I wish you were at work with me and your not, and I understand that, but I need you to be there in spirit for me and I know u will. Every time I hear a song all I can think of is u dancing or DJing. You were the best at everything. I will never forget your smile. It is the best smile ever. I remember when u wanted me to record your voicemail for DJ “B” and u keep on having me record it over and over again and again, to get it just right. Everything had to always be perfect with u. but I loved it. And I wish we can still record it over and over again just so I can be with u. I loved it when u said Your favorite word Really!!!!!
D.J. “B” Forever

Nick,
Words can't describe how truely missed you will be. You're one of the most genuine people I've ever met in my life. You always had a smile on your face no matter what was going on and your attitude about life was just out of this world. I loved the way you were just so outgoing and lovable and I know saying all these things wont prove to you how much I miss you but it's killing me inside. You deserved life more than anybody and the way and why god took you I'll never understand. I love you with all my heart and I hope when I go up there you're waiting for me so we can have as much fun as we did while you were still here. Watch over all of us sweetheart I'll never forget you. You'll always have a special place in my heart, See you in heaven babe. Miss you. Love you. xoxo

You had a personality that could light up a room. When you would see someone down, you were always there to try to make them laugh. And that smile...that smile was one of kind that can never be forgotten. Even though you're not here with us everyday, we know you're watching over us. You have taught us all so many things about life that we will take with us forever. Your family is in our prayers and you will be in our hearts forever. We love you and miss you!

There is no way to put into words how Nick touched me, my family and everyone around him. My wife and my children adored him. Madison and DJ would often ask “is Nick working, can we say hi, can we say goodnight….” After 20 years of doing what I do he made me remember how I came to love life and what I do so much. I saw it in his eyes, I heard it in his voice, he loved life and everything he did from working at the bank to being a DJ to taking care of his sisters. I wanted to teach him everything I knew about everything.

"DJ B" you will be missed. ~ Danny
