Nick will always be remembered for being a person that would (literally) give you the shirt off his back! He was a very hard worker. He enjoyed working on anything with a gas powered engine and was determined to get it running! He was very passionate about two trucks he owns. One belonged to his late Aunt Chris and one belonged to his late Grandpa Bill.

He was the Dairy Manager at Food 4 Less and enjoyed working there.

Please always remember Nick's heroism status for donating to all the lucky people continuing to experience life because of Nick! Nickums is our HERO!

The Mercy Hospital staff was very accommodating and do amazing work for the community! There's no doubt they did everything possible to accommodate Nick and his family. The staff went above and beyond and we're very Thankful!
