It was a pleasure to have Nick play on the WCC Dodgeball team that I coached last year. Nick represented WCC with great sportsmenship, teamwork, and friendship. I will remember Nick's sense of humor, his love for going for the kill in Dodgeball, and his big smile. My heart goes out to his family.

My deepest sympathy to Nick's family and many friends. Walnut Creek Campus is a small school and each member of the family there is valuable and important. Nick will be missed. I am sorry I never had him in class.

Richard and Teri,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. May you find comfort and strength in the wonderful stories and memories of Nick that will live in your hearts, and those of his friends, for all time.
It was just a few months ago that we all had a chance to visit while at the DOT driver's license station in Ankeny. We were blessed to cross paths and to reawaken those memories of two young boys who shared a wonderful friendship that brought our families together.
Know that we are here for you. Our door and our hearts are always open.
