It’s so hard to wrap my brain around the fact that someone who was so kind, joyous, hilarious, and good at cooking is just gone. Nicco made such a big impact and impression on everyone who was blessed enough to interact with him.  My favorite memories of Nicco was when we had our little beach graduation party with our DLI classmates and he taught my little sister how to shotgun a white claw!
I’m forever thankful for his friendship and our Monterey family of friends. You’ll forever be missed. 

Nicco, you are one of a kind. Always smiling, making others smile. Always making everyone feel welcome and special. You brought a unique light into this world that will not fade, we will all carry it within our hearts. Your life was cut too short, but that didn't stop you from making a beautiful impact on so many people's lives. I can only hope to do for a few people what you've done for so many. Rest in peace, you are a legend.

Miss you forever Nicco. Make god laugh up there.

He was a good man. Bright, cheerful, always professional while being incredibly enthusiastic. Always great to run into him. His smile kept us light. His sense of humor was infectious. Never shied away from challenges. Always ready to shoulder more than his share of the teams load. Nicco is missed. The Earth was a brighter place with him on it.  To all of his friends and family, I am truly sorry for your loss. i wish he was still here.  His laugh and smile made life better.  Lighter.

You heard right. He jumped into Australia flying from Alaska. An adventurous spirit.

I had the pleasure of meeting Nicco last year when he started his Respiratory Program with my husband, Luis. The moment I met him, I instantly felt welcomed into the group. He had this way of making you feel like you have been friends for years even though you just met. Nicco was funny, caring, smart, and just a really great friend. Although we had only known eachother for a short time, Nicco made such a big impact on my life. I will forever miss his dance moves and I will especially miss that contagious laugh. Luis and I love you, Nicco. Until we meet again.

We never met Nicco but our son, Cole loved him like a brother. Pictures shared with us showed Nicco as a warm, loving, strong young man. Thank you Nicco for sharing your life and friendship with our son. I only wish we could have met you.  RIP

I met Nicco during his freshman year in high school and I was a senior at that time. My sister was also a freshman and had classes with him so she would always share funny stories about what happened in class. Nicco was the kind of person who would always be the first to initiate the hellos whenever he crossed paths with anyone. He would always tag along during hangouts, he was like our little brother. He had this ability to make everyone laugh, everybody was always smiling when he was around. I will always remember the time that I bumped into him while visiting San Francisco. This was back in December 2021. It was a coincidence that we both happened to be in the area that week. I will definitely miss seeing his face at the gym and waving a hello to one another. My prayers go out to his family and loved ones. He was an amazing person, it was an honor to meet him during this lifetime.
