Dear nico's family I'm Soo sorry for your lose I would have wrote before but I didn't know wat to say I just could not believe it me and him had planned that we would hang out next time I came to visit cuz he came a week later after I left...but I found it insane that I sent him a fwd and then found out one of my friends i trusted with alot was gone...it was terrible to find out but again I'm really sorry this happened...

Nico was the best thing that we have had in our lives with us. Even though he has passed, we all remember the great moments we had with him. Like the time in third grade, Nico asked someone to open the pop can he had,but what they didn't know is that Nico was shaking the can behind his back before. The person open the pop and the pop went straight up tp the ceiling and is probably still there. We all miss you dearly, Nico! :(

To the Granata Family,
May all your wonderful memories help get you through  this. I a m sending you all positive energy. I am so sorry.
Kim Matts (Love, SLC Utah)

I'll miss you bud. I always thought you were so cool. You made me laugh at the randomest crap. R.I.P

Were to start, Me and Nico were really good friends..One day I wrote a note to him that I liked him alot and he looked at me and smiled..He wrote me back and said I like u to alot and we smiled at eachother. Nico was the best friend..We could of gone out but by the time I was going to ask him I got scared...He was like only one kid there that liked me...I really wish he was here..He ment so much to me and I didnt even get to see him before he passed away..I wish I went to school with him now..Hes just so special and he will always be special no matter what..He is still here and hes still watching over me.And thats that counts..Hes not here physically but hes here spiritually thats all that matters..Nico you will always be remembered by Me and I will never forget about you..I am going to miss you.. Nico...I love you alot

Where can i start? Nico and I where best friends since third grade. I remember the first time he moved to my elementary school. He fit right in with everyone. We would hang out all of the time and he was always doing something crazy. In 6th grade he asked me out. For his birthday I went to haunted trails with him and his other friend. He won me earrings and a necklace from a machine haha. Everytime I went to Nico's house, I felt like it was my second home. His family was so nice and caring. His little brothers Anakin and Jeremy where the craziest(: . We ended up lasting almost a year until he told me we needed to break up because he was moving to Arizona. Everytime he came back to Hometown to visit in the summer and winter, he always came to my house. I remember the first time he came back he gave me a real crystal that he found in Arizona. The last time I saw him before he passed away was in late July early August. He came back to visit before school started, and he stopped by my house. I talked to him for a while and then out of nowhere he left. I never got to say good-bye to him or hug him which really hurts me. I still have his crystal that he gave me. I never go anywhere without it. The day after he died I was really upset about it. I found a small cross in my pocket that day. I honestly think he put it there. At his wake I set the cross in his hands for him. I love you sooo much Nico, I'll never EVER forget you <3

Kayla Birdsong (Las Vegas)- Me and Nico went to Brinley Middle School together and we had 6th period together and I sat 2 seats down from him...Nico was so cool and crazy but he always looked after me... He only sat in one spot at the lunch table with Me Jakob Kurtis and Frank...He was so cool...He always did the most crazy thing and he was there for me... Me and him had our ups and our downs but we got over it.... I liked Nico for the longest time and I wanted to go out with him but we never did.. I was the last one at Brinley M.S. that he liked...Well thats what he said...I can remember the last day of school I hugged him before and after class and he was the last one I hugged at that school...R.I.P. Nico......You will always be remembered!!! ILL MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU NICO!!! <3

nico was special to our family  role model for Connor,big brother for Mary,and Elizabeth calls him "the tickler" he will be in our hearts forever! we love you!!

Nico and I were really close. I met him at penny lane and we used to hang out together all the time, we had some good times together, he was one of my best friends. I'm deeply saddened by the loss of such a cool guy. My best wishes go out to his family. R.I.P Nico you will always be close to my heart.

Rest In Peace. I remeber when we went to Pennylane together </3

Chrissy, Jim, Anakin, Jeremy, and family-

I am so terribly sorry for the loss of Nico...he was such a good kid.  Always looked after the little kids in Scouts.  Never saw him without a bike or a smile.

Nico you and cody had fun times together
and you will be missed but not forgoted
I send my prayers. to the family

nico touched so many lives with that bright smile and witty charm...he will be missed by everybody that knew him..

Nico was very rich in friends and in family, both in Hometown and in Arizona. Where ever he went, everyone wore a smile on thier faces. He will be missed for sure but he will also be loved untill the day that all of us are up there with him. Even then we will love him. Rest In Peace, God's Greatest Angel.

Nico was like a little brother to me while he was in our Boy Scout troop in hometown. He will always have a special place in my heart and will be dearly missed. I send my deepest sympathies to the family.

When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.

Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.

Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

Dear Helen and the Granata family. Words cannot begin to express our 
sympathy for the loss of your grandson, son and brother. Nico will be in
our thouhts and prayers.
