Nikky was a man of many talents between his eye for detail, his outstanding craftsmanship, or being the life of the party is how we will remember him.

Early in his career he learned how to building beautiful houses with Larry Beesley.  Later he began working at the Idaho National Laboratory where he built life-long friendships with his coworkers.

He strived to make a impact on his life and his kids, by showing them how to work hard and keep your head held high, while giving the shirt off his back to just about anyone. To know Nikky is to love Nikky.

In his short lived life he enjoyed the small things like hanging out with his kids and grandkids, working out at the gym, fixing up anything possible with his son, or going on a simple ride on his motorcycle. We will remember Nikky by his willingness to always give a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on. We love you daddy, watch over us kids as we will continue to make you proud.
