Nick, you will forever remain in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.   Our precious memories, fun and happy, will always help us in keeping you close.  One year ago we lost you, but our loss is Heavens' gain.  We trust in our Lord God that we will be united together again as one family.  Your life changed but did not end.  Your life is with Our precious Lord God.  Our love for you goes on.  Nino and Nina

Nick and I dated for about five years in our 20s. I have so many wonderful memories of him! Playing guitar hero together, listening to music for hours in his room, watching movies and laughing until we were crying!!! He was my first love and a great guy. A beautiful spirit.

Our hearts are heavy for the Mattox family at the loss of their dear beloved son, Nick. Our son, Lorin and Nick went to high school together and were fast friends for some time. As the years passed, they lost touch with each other as they went away to separate colleges. Nick will always hold a dear place in our hearts. May his family,  friends, and loved ones take solace in the knowledge that to be absent from this life is to be present with the Lord.
"O death, where is thy sting? O gave where is thy victory?" 
1 Corinthians 15:55

I didn't know Nick well, but I do know he was an open, smart, funny, kind and gentle person.  There are no words to express my sorrow to his family.  Nick will be in my thoughts and prayers forever.
Mary
