I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know if words do much in these situations. Everybody is different. Two of my family members passed last year. I had a great relationship with both of them, and I try being thankful for that.

I don't know if you’re able to think along those lines right now, especially since your friend was way too young. He deserved a longer life. It's probably hitting you in waves right now, but I’m sure you’ll honor him in someway.

Thanks everyone.

Matt, sorry for your losses.

Waves or gusts of wind is quite accurate on how its hitting me. When his sister called me and told me, the moment I hung up I keeled over onto my island balling and telling myself it couldn't be true, can't be true, it is not true. I had sent him a text Friday saying "How ya been" and didn't hear back. So I started telling myself that he was at St Mary's waiting for me and it was some weird sense of humor joke. So I wiped the tears off and got into my car and drove. When I got to the hospital and didn't see Nick standing out it became harder to convince myself that this wasn't happening.

I just don't get it. How can a 31 year old have a fatal heart attack? It just doesn't seem right. It is not right. It is so hard to imagine that the 20 years we knew each other won't be extended.

Damn, that kind of news sucks.

I don't understand why people die that young, either.

Life isn't fair; and death is even more unfair.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

i'm so very sorry for your loss of a great friend. losing people is hard but losing a young friend very quickly is awful. i'll pray for you.

I'm sorry to hear of this, Kevin.

Let me tell you something I have always tried to do when a loved-one or friend passes.

In addition to remembering the times together, I really think about the things that I admired about that person that I felt that they were better at than I was...

I then think about how I can aspire to emulate that aspect of him or her in my own life.

Every time I find myself having done something differently than what I might have done without that reflection, a little piece of me smiles for both the memory, honor, and gift that person gave me.

A small part of them lives on in my heart every time I do the act or deed that I focused upon, and it amazes me how easy it is to reflect upon where it came from, no matter the amount of time that has passed since I first gave it a thought.

My sincere condolences.

I do think of a lot of things that I admired about him. I know he'll live forever in my thoughts and heart.

It just feels like I'm too young to be losing the ones I have been. I know that probably sounds selfish, or maybe "why me"-ish, but it just doesn't feel right. I think this loss might break my spirit, I dunno. Only time will tell. All that is keeping me going right now is my girls.


His little sister took the picture attached, it's the last one that I'll have with Nick and I.

Nick was buried just about an hour ago. It still doesn't seem real.

Nick's headstone marker was placed recently. It's been just over seven months. Still very hard to accept he's gone.  Phoenix.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

That's a nice one. It is a shame to need it.

Sorry to hear about your friend Kevin ...
