He was born Nicholas James Andersen, on January 4th, 1989, and would come to be known as: “Ninja Nick” also known as "Viking" - by family and friends in later years. His hobbies included gaming, making weapons aka “the sticks”, playing with his lightsabers, drawing, reading and singing karaoke. Nick was an old soul who had a love for mythology and of the Viking culture. Nick lived somewhat of a nomadic lifestyle as did those he was nicknamed after. He was strong, caring, and stubborn. He had a generous heart - and was treasured by his peers.
Although his life was never simple, and he had many hurdles and obstacles presented to him, Viking never gave up! His stubborn streak was a two edged sword that cut both ways.
