I lost my dad

Hello guys I’m here and while it’s just 24 hours fresh. My father has passed away and he gave me the absolute world to me on becoming an athlete. When we were both homeless in our car and living on government aid and change to get by a day. As I’m typing this while crying trying to not feel like I’m writing my father’s death and thinking it’s just a nightmare that I can wake up from. However it’s real and I’ve lost my father and we really would like 6000$ for funeral costs and also just general therapy for me as I had to walk upon his body and gave CPR and mouth to mouth while instructed by 911 responder.  Until ambulance arrived and they worked on him for 20min and he was pronounced “Passed away” at the scene. Just I’ve had to leave the original place I’m staying at and I’ve had to move into a hotel that some very nice family friends are helping us on. So my mother can say her last goodbyes to my dad before cremation.

Born on July 28th 1962 He was only 58 years old!
He loved anything that had speed!

Fast cars! At 19 he owned a 1959 corvette
White, with  silver inley
And red interior !
He loved flying and had a passion for hot hair balloons and jets!

He was a good man, in so many respects, he was too gentle
Too loving
And hurt by what circumstances brought to him!

He was a remarkable father and my best friend!
He taught me how to race cars, he taught humbleness, and patience!

He supported me in all my passions and was my number coach and fan for my training in the triple jump!

I was always his number one priority !



Here is a picture of him
Taken in the 80s at the spiritual fair at the Moscone center in SF!
He looked like a young pharaoh
My mother says how he this picture on his fighter pilot
Jacket stuck to his lapel
How people were blown away by the colors of his aura and kept stopping him to look at it!
He was so embarrassed by the attention he received from this  picture that he placed it in his pocket !

Nick was a man of integrity
He was a stubborn man
He was a loving man
And believed in humanity
He still does !

I tried to save his life but this time it was his time to leave!

I know that he walks by my side of that I have no doubt !
Protecting and guiding me from a more powerful vantage point !

You are our fly boy

Take your wings and fly home Daddy 
I love you so much Dad
