  1. I’m shocked and saddened by your death. One of my few friends growing up at the lake. Prayers for your dad, daughter and the rest of your family. May your demons now let you rest easy Nicky.

  2. Thanks Nick, for all the many times you were there for our daughter back in the days when she was young and crazy. May you Rest In Peace. And May your loved ones remember you with laughter in the years to come… in spite of their tears. Heartfelt condolences to your heart’s best beloved daughter, Amber, and to your dad, brother, and sister… as well as to the friends who loved you well.

  3. “Family” isn’t defined by only last name or by blood, it’s defined by loyalty, commitment and love! It means showing up when they need it the most. It means having each other’s backs. It means choosing to love each other even on those days we struggle to like each other. It means never giving up on each other! Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs, the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who do anything to see you smile & who love you no matter what! This was and will forevermore be all you Nick, Our Brother to the FULLEST! We love you unconditionally! This is not a good bye but an extended leave of absence but will definitely see you, George 😍, Kambui, Rob and all the others Later on when our time is due! Endlessly forever your Familia in H-Town! — Estrada & Carreon Family!

  4. Nick i still remember when I met you on the first day of school in 7th grade. Im so happy that we hooked up and had lunch a few months ago. I will miss you and always think of you as my friend. Til we meet again my friend.

  5. Nick sponsored me in Alcoholics Anonymous and was a guiding influence in my early sobriety. Nick got me going in the right direction for which I will always be grateful. He spent many unselfish hours with me and we became friends. In my experience Nick was always available and eager to extend the hand of AA to the new comer. I will miss his rugged humor and straight forward personality. I know many lives were touched by Nick and we will surely miss him. I hope to see him again in the great AA meeting beyond. Your friend, Jim Matye

  6. Nick, I’ll never forget… The day you drove me to the halfway house. You literally dropped my bags. On the living room floor. And said. This is where you need to be. BYE! It was exactly where I needed to be. We shared so much more. Even though things didn’t work out. I am and will always be forever grateful. You loved me. When I was far from lovable.

  7. Nick Im so glad we got to connect after all these years. I will always cherish the day we went to eat lunch and hung out. I will never forget it. I’ve known you since the 7th grade and I cant believe you are gone. Save a place for me in heaven. Until we meet again my friend..

  8. Peace and blessings and may joyous memories forever abound. Sweet Andrew DomInick was one of the first persons I met when moving to the area in which I have now called home for the past 11 years. I have fond and happy memories of Andrew Dominick — I never called him by Nick always Andrew Dominic…mostly because I liked the way it sounded and to pester him…I’m sure he knew it was my way of setting him apart from everyone else. My first trip to the lake was on the back of his sports bike where he introduced me to his dear friends, Slayde and Crystal and their son, who welcomed me kindly. He was very protective of me and he was very vocal if he didn’t approve of someone I was interested in dating or befriending in a community I was very new to. He gave great advice, not sure how well he followed his own advice, but nonetheless I loved him for watching out for me and being my friend. He introduced me to his big brother whom he adored as well as his precious daughter when she had come to visit for that first summer I was living at the lake….he truly adored his family. Through the years…my busy job schedule and life with my kids and with his life schedule we seldom saw each other anymore throughout the years but I have always loved him as his influence and advice helped guide me in becoming a resident of Canyon Lake. My heart breaks as I wish I were able to tell him how much his kindness, protectiveness (even if I didn’t want the protection at the time) impacted how my life has been successfully happy in marriage, a beautiful home and great memories over the past 11 years.

    Blest be the tie that binds

    Our hearts in Christian love;

    The fellowship of kindred minds

    Is like to that above.

    Before our Father’s throne,
    
We pour our ardent prayers;

    Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

    Our comforts, and our cares.

    We share our mutual woes,

    Our mutual burdens bear;

    And often for each other flows

    The sympathizing tear.

    When we asunder part,

    It gives us inward pain;

    But we shall still be joined in heart,
    
And hope to meet again.

    I love you sweet Andrew Dominick!

  9. Sending love, prayers and support to all Nick’s family. We feel your pain so deeply. May you all find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace. May your memories of the many good moments you all shared help to ease your sorrow. With all our love and prayers.

  10. Querido Primo y familia: may you finally find peace in the coming days. You have to be proud over the comments made about your son, Andrew Dominick, by his friends. I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t even know his real name; only knew him as Nicky; but it seems he was always ready to lend a helping hand to a friend (just like you), He had a good heart! So sorry, I could not be there; but your loved ones were. Remember the good times you spent together; and know that he is now resting with his Mother, Glenda and Grandmother, Dora. Love you & God Bless!!

  11. CUZ’N Peter and family – we are so sorry for the loss of Nicky. We share your pain and send our love and prayers. Wishing you all healing moments in knowing he Is at peace and surrrounded by the love of his family who have gone before him. Hopefully, the memories of the good times you all shared together will help comfort you. Love and prayers to all. Cousins Cookie and Joe Curtis
