Up until just last night I have been fortunate enough to have never really dealt with the loss of a friend or loved one.. I found out last night that my friend Nick was found at his apartment, he had hung himself.
I have known nick and hungout with him on a regular basis for about 4 years now. He was honestly someone who always put his friends before him. He was a very positive person, I never once heard him talk badly about anyone or really anything... In fact I honestly can not recall a single time where he ever even got angry. I dont think i could have said something bad about him even if i wanted to because he really was just a genuine good guy who would have done anything for his friends... I remember one time i was at a party, and we got on the topic of MMA and what not.. i was telling people my dreams of fighting professionaly at some point and explained how passionate I am about everything.. Well alot of people really brushed me off when I said that not really knowing my commitment, but ill never forget Nick said to me and infront of everyone that he cant wait to see me fight and that when I do hes going to bet everything he had on me... That really meant alot..
I know none of you know him or anything like that but i guess what i want to say here is that as people and friends I think its very important to support the people around you.. even if its something small just let people know how much you appreciate them... Pick people up when there down, it hasnt even been a whole day and Nick has over 100 people who commented him on facebook saying how much they loved him...
