Family members said, "Nick was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He loved spending time with his wife and son, and was the ultimate family man. He was an avid LSU fan.

Nick enjoyed dirt bikes, cars, playing soccer, snowboarding, camping, seafood, cooking, biking around town, and spending time outdoors with his son, Krew. Nick was loved by all he met and will definitely be missed by everyone who knew him."
