Nick was loving and compassionate. He loved spending time with his family, friends and special pup Mingo.
Though he left us way too soon Nick made the most of each day he had. He made sure to spend time with those he loved and delighted in cooking up his favorite dishes for them to enjoy. While we know he is now in the arms of Jesus, he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. Our Cricket will be remembered always and loved eternally. Praise the Lord we will see him again in Heaven one sweet day.
