Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Nick was a great nephew. Always had a smile and a hug to great you. He found a Holstein pattern watch at a yard sale he went to with his Mom. They had stopped on the way to our house for a gathering. He was excited to give it to me. Love that boy. Didn’t see him mush but I do miss him.
Nick…
My sweet brother.. I’m sorry I didn’t say more at your celebration of life.. I just couldn’t.. it was so hard for me and Riley to stand up there and talk about you in a “past” tense.
Because I will never remember you in a past tense. You will always for as long as I am alive be in a present tense.
For me, you were my best friend. My first friend.. shit.. my only friend.. we grew up only 2 years apart. I remember most of my childhood birthdays with you next to me. Because our parents would throw our parties together. Because even though our actual birthdays was 2 years apart, the days were only 3 weeks apart.. we’d have the best of party’s and I remember feeling so proud and happy to not only be celebrating my birthday but to be celebrating my big brothers birthday.. and I remember always looking up next to you as you blew your candles out first.. being so happy and proud that I got to celebrate not only another year of my life but of yours.. my best friend.. my hero.. my brother.
Nick, I’m so sorry that you faced the demons you did.. I wish I could’ve been there for you more than I was. I wish whatever pain you were dealing with that I could’ve helped and taken some of the pain and put them inside of me. That’s all I wanted for us and our family, I wanted to take it all away from you.
But I will always remember you. The real you. The nick that I used to hang under the bunk bed.. on the bottom bunk.. on Christmas morning.. and you’d say “hey lets go down stairs and look at the gifts… before mom and dad wake up.. I wanna see what YOU got” you were so eager to know what was under that tree.. not only for you.. but mostly for me.
I’ll always remember the day I came out as gay to you.. how you were the second person I told.. and I told you.. and you looked at me.. and you said.. “Courtney, I love you, we love you, I think that’s amazing”
You deserved more than what I gave you at your service.. and I wanted you to know that.. brother.. you in general deserved more in this life.. this life deserved more of you.. I love you so much.. I may not have agreed with your life style but I always loved and was there for you..
Until we meet again… I love you my older brother. We will make you proud.
Grandson you are loved and missed more than you will ever know. Rest in heaven and I will see you some day. I love you. NeeNee
Oh how I miss you Nick. I miss your smile, your history discussions, your excited voice and the I love you mom. You had your struggles, but you we one of the kindest young men I’ve ever known. I hope you’ve found the peace and happiness you’ve been looking for. Please give me the strength to get thru this. I love you so much – you will always be my little boy. ❤️❤️
