He approached the world with a unique perspective, always thinking outside the box and encouraging others to do the same. Nick had a special place in his heart for animals, and his love for pets was evident to all who knew him. His easygoing nature made him someone people were naturally drawn to, and his willingness to lend a hand ensured he was always there when someone needed support. He will be remembered for his generous spirit, adventurous soul, and the quiet strength he brought to those around him. Nicholas leaves behind cherished memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jackie and Keith Houser. He is survived by his loving wife, Jeannie, and his daughter, Jaime, who will forever cherish his memory and the love he shared.
