Nico was preceded in death by his grandmother Josefina Gonzalez, his grandfather Jorge Velasco Mireles, and his great-grandparents, Chita Garza, Arcadio Garza, and Maria De La Luz Sierra.
Nico laughed and smiled throughout his 24 years, bringing joy and happiness to everyone he touched. Nico was a kind soul who was selfless and cared deeply about the people he loved. He was very creative and found so much joy in playing video games and War Hammer. The knowledge he had amazed everyone because he shared so many amazing and random facts. He loved his dogs Bailey, Arya, Charlie, and Meadow.
Nico was very giving and yearned to learn more about God every day.
Brave and strong, Nico fought the hardest battle until the very end. His legacy will be remembered through us for eternity.
