So many great memories I have of Nick that have are  mostly of our childhood with a few here and there through out our adulthood. The memories I will cherish the most is that our childhood when we were closest to each other. Growing up we played fairly rough with each other and one time we put on some boxing gloves and Nick managed give me a bloody nose. Oh boy Nick couldn't believe it a went crazy laughing in disbelief and that was on of the memories we laugh about or the years.
Watching movies was also another thing we loved to do and when we talked about the movies we watched as kids we would laugh so hard quoting them. Nicks laughter is one thing i will miss because when I heard his laughter it was great to know he was actually happy and not in a bad mode. 
When Nick graduated from Marine Corps boot camp we heard that R. Lee Ermey was taking photos with people and signing autographs for salvation army. Nick said that be cool to get a photo and autograph. I told him what be awesome is to buy a copy of Full Metal Jacket and get him to autograph that for him. I then said hey what be even better is if he buy a copy for me as well so I could get one. Nick gladly bought a copy for me and we did get those autographs. That was a day I felt so proud of Nick and happy for both him and my mom because I could see the twinkle in both their eyes that day.
I love my brother and pray for you

Growing up, Nick and my boys were close (Daniel and Bobby). They would enjoy having sleepovers and getting into mischief... I remember that I would tease him because his room would always smell like corn chips.. He is missed, Rest In Peace primo.. your life mattered and you did make a difference ❤️

Prior to Nick going to Afghanistan Thelma and I went to visit him at Camp Pendleton.  We had dinner and went bowling.  The next day we met some of his friends and toured his unit.  When he was in Afghanistan we used the “If it fits it ships” boxes to send him cookies and stuff he needed.  Those were good times.

I will always remember your visits to the taqueria. You’d get there eat, chill  and just stay with me while I worked. 
 

The times with my primo nick were priceless. He was always with a smile and would always try to make others happy. When me and him would talk it would always be filled with love and laughter. Considering me and him were hurting during those times I feel like we would comfort each other at family gathers because I was never in the mix and neither was he. I would be sitting alone and he would always show up to talk with me, then we would start laughing. it was divine. I just wish me and him were more open about what we were feeling. I know either way he made a major impact in my life. Before and now. I love you primo.
