My brother Nicolas — or Nick, as everyone knew him — was one of the most caring, humble, loving, funny people. No matter what he made everyone laugh. He loved his family and friends, loved to joke around with all his nieces who loved him so much, and he always made sure to talk to or see our mom daily. He loved to be funny, hang out with friends and play video games. He talked about getting his CDL to drive big trucks. As he’d say, he loved to have fun and be around friends.
He was excited to recently move out and into a home with his roommate, excited to have their own place. Shortly after that, they were home one night, November 1, 2023, and our lives changed. He was shot and killed by someone who had gone to his home. Our life and family will never be the same without our Nick. Our family is now incomplete as we learn this new way of life without someone so special to us. I never imagined life without my siblings, and to not have Nick with us now is hard to do. Forever Nick.
