I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Nick this summer, and he brought so much joy to The Great Escape. He always made me laugh and seeing Nick walk into work each morning always guaranteed it was going to be good day. He was a kind and thoughtful soul, and he will be deeply missed. -Lindsey Koleno
Nick was really starting to be so confident and outgoing. Saw and talked to him at The Great Escape often. All his co-workers were devastated when they heard what happened. His boss Rick told me had just put in the paperwork for him to get a raise. Great young man with a great smile. -Brett Baumler
Prayers for God's comfort through this very difficult time. -Tamara Schultz
