Nicole was born on January 17th, 1977, to Douglas and Susan Matz in Portland, Oregon. She graduated Reynolds HS in 1995 and attended Mt. Hood Community College studying Poetics and Writing.

Nicole worked as an advanced dental assistant for many years with her Dad. She loved sharing her soul through poetry, photography, and making videos. As well as pondering the meaning of life on her blog. Very passionate about music she lived her rock star dreams, singing her heart out karaokeing or while listening to music. One of her greatest joys though, was playing with her son Jack. Nicole was also an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She always had a deep faith in God and continually sought to be closer to Him throughout her life. She has now returned to God and the Savior whom she endeavored to follow.

She is survived by her eleven-year-old son, Jack Robert Ka Makana Johnson; parents, Doug and Sue Matz; brothers, Israel, Benjamin, and Jesse; sisters, Bethany and Heidi; plus, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and other assorted family and caring friends.

Forever in our hearts.
