He has been active in many sports including, basketball, football, soccer, wrestling, golf, archery, dance, choir, ice skating, bowling, and the "Crazy for you Musical." Nick was active in SPOTS (Students Performing On Tough Situations) which encourages kids to make good decisions in difficult situations. He belonged to the FOCUS Bible study, was an altar server, helped with the church picnic, delivered Meals on Wheels, and was involved in both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Nick recently got a new job at Hardees and a new truck and spent a lot of his time working on stereo systems, helping friends, mowing lawn (since the time he could reach the handle), tinkering with anything with an engine, and has always been Grandma's little helper. He enjoyed fishing, guns and target shooting, and dream cars; he always had a different dream car to talk about. The smile on his face will always be missed -- he was a good kid!!    In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials to SPOTS or the Jacob Wetterling Foundation.    Victor J.
