Gloria, Rene and family we are truly sorry for the loss of Nicholas. He was a kind soul who left this world too soon. May he be at peace and always remembered as the wonderful person that we all knew him as. If there is anything that we can do for you please let us know. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Nick's Bio
Nicholas Robert Garza "Nick", is known as a loving, kindhearted young man. He loved the Lord. Although he was baptized and received first communion in 3rd grade; with spiritual guidance from his parents, Nick truly accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at age 21. Nicholas sought out a relationship with God and had been attending church regularly for the last six years. He loved to hear his Pastor preach and then talk about the sermon with us at home, as he would often like to talk about biblical things and how they applied to our lives.
Nick loved his family very much, and always had an interest in his nephews and nieces - he wanted to know how they were doing and when would they be visiting again. He worried about them growing up in this crazy world and tried to encourage them to do well in school and in life. There aren't enough words to express how much he loved his Dad and Mom, his two biggest advocates, and best friends. While blessed with a large family with 2 brothers, and 1 sister, 11 nephews & nieces, loving grandparents, tia's and tio's and many cousins; Nick's comfort zone was normally to be the reserved, less talkative member of the family; however, there aren't enough words to express how much he cherished time spent with family.  
Though he could have seemed the shy type to many; close friends and family also know that Nick was a very outgoing, funny, and fun guy to be around. He loved to laugh and was a bit of a jokester, making everyone around him laugh too. Nick was involved in theatre in grammar school and made a whole audience laugh once when he had to come up with something to say to fill the silence when another actor forgot his lines. Nick was witty, clever and hilariously funny. 
His talent was definitely not wasted. Not only was he a good actor but also became a very good musician. He taught himself how to play the piano and had jam sessions with his closest friends on his guitar as a teenager. Nick was able to learn a song just by listening to it a few times and then would play it for his family any time we asked. He had a wonderful voice and loved to sing around the house, and held us all as his captive audience, playing a few of our favorite songs on his guitar. 
Nick loved watching the Bears play football with his Dad at home, and would make the whole building shake when he shouted at the T.V. because of a fumbled ball. Unfortunately, the Bears disappointed Nick quite often. But it was spending time with his Dad that really mattered the most. In fact, in between the years Nick spent pursuing his college degree, he was also becoming an electrician's apprentice, working with his Dad at various side-jobs for the church, or at the homes of other family members. He was always willing to learn new things, as well as lend a helping hand. 
Nick was a compassionate and caring man, especially for the underdog or anyone who was having a difficult time in life. He had aspirations of becoming a counselor so that he could help people trying to get their lives together. Though Nick himself did not have it easy, he always kept a positive outlook, striving for the better things in life, doing his best to enjoy the life that God blessed him with. 
I believe that is what Nick would want us all to do. I think it would make him happiest to know that his family and friends are living life to its fullest; making time to spend with one another; talking about him often, with a joyful heart; and making sure that we all have Jesus in our hearts so that we can feel Nick's warm embrace and see his smiling face again one day, soon. 
We love you, and already miss you so much Nick, that it hurts. At 26 years old, you have left us way too soon. But we know that you are in the presence of the glory of God, where there is no pain, and no sadness - the best place to be.  And though we will miss you in the physical, the gifts that your soul has left with us, have filled our hearts and will remain with us always. We will see you soon, dearest brother!

Rene and Gloria,we are stunned to hear about Nick,we are sorry for your loss,may GOD be with you and comfort you in this difficult time. Vincent and Sandy Gonzalez
