Dear Nick,
I feel blessed to have been able share the last few years with you. I will remember you for the kind spirited, warm hearted, smiling goofball you were. It helps heal the pain a bit to know you are at peace, hopefully listening to music with your feet up and smiling that smile everyone has been talking about.
While it is hard knowing I'll never be able to hold your hand or get one of your enormous hugs after a long day, I will cherish those memories. Moose keeps making me smile and think of you becuase it seems you taught him to cuddle just like you - directly on top of me.
I miss you, I love you. This will be hard, but I know you will be here to help us all get through this - you wouldn't be anywhere else.
Love,
Shannon

First of all thank you to all who have shared on this wall. Means so much to our family. Nicky had such a big happy smile and will be missed more than words can say. I am so happy that my last memory was of Nicky coming to my home in South Carolina for Mothers Day, we had a great visit and will be a memory I will treasure forever. I know the short time he was with all of us he did make a difference in so many lives. Be at Peace Nick, we will meet again.
Love you to the stars and back,
Mom
You were one of the most positive and generous people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You were constantly smiling and you had this inner light that shined so bright it would light up any room that you were in. Your light will be truly missed in this world. With love, Rachel

I remember when we first became friends, I knew we would become more like family. We spent so many years making awesome memories in Durango and we saw some pretty epic music together all over this country. You were always the best wing man. Your laugh, your smile, your hugs...things I will always remember and cherish. I am so blessed to have known you and I love you so much! You're spirit will always shine on my friend.

One Story and So Much Laughter |
July 12, 2013 |
I won tickets to see Morcheeba at The House of Blues on February 22, 2011.http://chicagomusicseen.blogspot.com/2011/02/morcheeba-at-house-of-blues-on-22211.html
I put a post on FB to see if anyone wanted to go, preferably a D.D., and Cookie Puss hit me up and said he was in. We met at my place and chatted a bit with my wife and kids when I thanked him for taking me up on the offer. His reply in true Cookie fashion was “Let’s do it brother, cause that’s what’s up!” We headed to the City early to park and hit up a bar. He drove the wife’s ride and we laughed about random stupidness all the way to the city. We had a drink at a dive bar that was walking distance from The House of Blues. We grabbed our tickets at will-call and made our way to the floor. A friend of mine was the opener. She opened up with a DJ set (this is how I got the free tickets.)
The band started almost 2 hours late and I was knocking them back and Cookie was cracking me up as usual. The band eventually took stage and they were amazing, Cookie was digging the band he had never seen before. Every so often Cookie would disappear, bring me a beer, and have something else to eat in his hand. At one point I was convinced he had eaten one of everything they had available. I turned to him laughing over the music and said, “Dude what haven’t you eaten yet?” He smiled and said MY TOOTH!! WTF….. His tooth fell out and he had a big ass gap in his grill and I lost it. He tossed his tooth in his pocket and just kept munching. I almost fell down from laughing so hard.
Eventually the show ended and he drove us home. We were passing through Barrington and got pulled over. He looked and me and said, "This ought to be fun!" and smiled at me with no tooth. I started laughing hysterically. The officer came up to the car and we explained where we were coming from and that Cookie was my DD but, I could not stop laughing.
He passed the sobriety test with no problems but because of his missing GD front tooth the cop was convinced he had to take us to the train…. We got in the back of the police car with a hard plastic backseat that smelled like puke. The onslaught of laughter continued all the way to the Barrington train station. We rode the train to Cary, stopped for a drink, and laughed all the way to my place.
In the morning I left him asleep on the couch, as I had to hitch a ride back to my wife’s vehicle in Barrington, and go to work. Needless to say, the next time I saw Cookie Puss, we told all of our friends the whole, very animated story, and my face hurt from all the laughter! Peace out NICKI
Missing my Soccer Buddy. So many amazing memories through high school soccer and our travel club team Arsenal. Nick was always a positive spirit and great person to be around. He would always greet you with a huge smile and giant hug. I was blessed to know Nick from high school and the Colorado days. I wanted to send my heart felt condolences to the Felz family. I wish I could be there today. Rachel and I send our love and Nick's spirit will always be in our hearts. We love you Nick!

My deepest condolences for your loss. Nick was such a beautiful person, and such a wonderful friend. He always spoke so fondly and so often of his family. I know we have yet to meet, but I feel as if I know each of you already through Nick. He would show me pictures of you all, and tell me family stories all the time. His family was THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in his life. He loved and cared for each of you deeply. His father was his hero and his brothers were his best friends... and this level of love extended to the rest the family as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Nick was also one of the best friends a person could ever have. His friendship was so special to me and I will never forget all of the great times we've shared. I know countless other people who feel the same way. We were all so BLESSED to know him and to love him. Nick's heart was so BIG and so full of love. His soul will shine on us all forever. His memory lives on in our hearts. Nick is and will forever be missed... until we meet again.
With Love and Sympathy,

My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”
38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
