NICHOLAS HAMILTON
FOREVER 28
“Son, Brother, Father, and Friend. Unfortunately, he trusted the wrong people, and because of that, he is no longer with us. He wasn’t perfect, but he didn’t deserve to die. Rest easy, Son, we will get justice for you! #organdonor”
- His Family
Nicholas Hamilton lived with an open heart, trusting in the goodness of others, a rare trait in a world that so often falls short. He carried both his struggles and his love fiercely, balancing the complexities of life with the unyielding hope that things could always get better. His trust in people, though painfully misplaced, was a testament to the purity of his character—a soul that looked for light even in the darkest corners.
To his children, Nick was more than a father; he was their safe place, their source of laughter, and the one who would do anything for them. To his family, he was a constant—a presence that could never be replaced, no matter how imperfect life could sometimes be. He gave his love freely and unapologetically, creating bonds that time and loss can never break.
“He wasn’t perfect, but he didn’t deserve to die,” his family says, their grief intertwined with a fierce love that fuels their determination. “Rest easy, Son. We will get justice for you.” The weight of their words is palpable, a reminder that Nick’s story doesn’t end here.
Even in his passing, Nick gave one last act of love: as an organ donor, he gave the gift of life to others. It’s a reflection of who he was—a man who, despite his struggles, never stopped giving, never stopped hoping, and never stopped believing in second chances.
Nick’s legacy is not just in the lives he saved, but in the hearts he touched. His memory lives on in the laughter he brought, the lessons he taught, and the love he shared so openly. The pain of his absence is immeasurable, but so is the impact of his life.
