Nick was a loving father to 4 beautiful children, Mikayla, Emily, Jacob and Hollis. He was an amazing husband to Melody. He was the life of the party, a cut up and jokester. He was a family man who always made time for his family both immediate and extended. He loved big and smiled ever bigger! He was good with his hands and creativity was his strong suit. He could make just about anything out of some old junk. Though his time with his children was short he was a great teacher in the time they had and taught them about many things both nature and craftsmanship and a few things in the kitchen. Cooking was another of his passions and he did it so well. He lived life to the fullest and left imprints on a lot of hearts.

David was a unique individual who deeply loved his family and friends. He was a gregarious person and often the center of attention in a room where everyone could feel his presence or be affected by him in some way, shape or form. Family gatherings often started with the question, “when will David be here,” followed by a sense of elation when he did arrive. A multi-faceted young man, he could easily shift between being a philosopher, comedian, dreamer or political debater. He drew people into conversations ranging from current events to talking about a favorite show or video game to discussing ideas on how we could solve some of the world’s biggest issues. We often left these conversations with a new perspective as a result of David’s insights.
