Nico was the Life of the party wherever he went! He loved to laugh and make others laugh. He loved all kinds of music and would sing it loudly at all times! He was especially excited to be called DADDY, proudly and profoundly LOVING his kids with all his heart. His Siberian Husky, Draco, was his 1st baby and went with him EVERYWHERE. Without doubt, Draco is missing him as much as we all are. Nico liked cars; especially the Challenger he had. He enjoyed bowling and just being around his friends that were a positive influence to him. Thank you to his best friend Michael and his good friend Darren that have been his family outside of us!
