Nicholas was born on August 4, 1989, in Houston, to Jorge and Sandra Sainz. A proud native of the city, he grew up surrounded by family, friends, and a deep love for his community.
Known to those closest to him as Nick, he was the heart of his family—the one whose quick wit, unwavering loyalty, and infectious humor brought light into every room. Whether cheering on the Astros, traveling with his loved ones, attending his nephew’s baseball games, or simply sharing a workout and laughs with his best friend and older brother, Nick lived each moment with joy and love.
He leaves behind a family who adored him deeply: his parents, Jorge and Sandra; his older brother, Stephen; his younger brother, Christopher; his younger sister, Natalie; and his beloved nephew, Jonathon.
