He especially loved being outdoors whether it be fishing, hiking, camping, or hunting and was always in search of his next adventure. He also had a great love of movies with Star Wars being his favorite series and really enjoyed racing and adventure video games.

Nicholas was a kind, loving, generous, and loyal friend to all who knew him. He always put others before himself and was intelligent, compassionate, and gentle in the way he spoke.
