I'm writing this not in remembrance of Nick, BECAUSE THE GUY IS STILL FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE IN SAVANNAH. I started this to share laughter, joy, tears, good times we had and all the other emotions surrounding Nick's life. He shared these emotions with each and every one of us in his own way. Nick is a beacon of hope and good faith in a world where many have forgotten the way of the Lord.
Nick is a family guy. He loves his family, and they love him back. Family doesn't just mean kin or blood. Family means those you associate with, your crew. Everywhere Nick and I have crossed paths, he's always had a crew with him. Good guys and girls coming together probably because they share the same passion for life that Nick does. Nick is an all around good guy. He'd jump at the chance help out, give a hand and wasn't afraid to be a great friend. He touched my life as I'm sure he's touched all of ya'lls. Let's keep praying and stay strong for our buddy. LET'S HELP PULL HIM THROUGH THIS. Please remember to pray for Jimmy, Cynthia, Drew and the rest of the family while they pass these difficult times. Keep Fighting Buddy.
"And it's real
Believe what I say
Just one thing that I gotta say
I need a miracle very day" ~ The Grateful Dead
Nick loves music. He loves playing it, head-banging to it, traveling mind blowing distances to see it played live. Music has been one thing Nick and I connected on, became friends around and still share a passion for. That being said, I collected some song lyrics. They remind me of Nick and his current battle for life. For me, these lyrics are a way to remember great times we shared, and to look forward to the future with hope and faith. It's a collection of lyrics from Nick's favorite band; Widespread Panic. Also the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and others. Please enjoy them as much as we do. Feel free to comment, add more lyrics or share a story about Nick of your own.

Old friends, heroes, lifetimes
Don't let a single memory ever fade away" ::: Heroes

Your songs always play
May your wishes come true

Gentle cloud on the hill

Forever and ever, may your glass be filled" :::May Your Glass Be Filled

Get on down to paradise
Maybe once, now maybe twice
