on through the albums he collaborated on, and in the memories of those who saw his many live performances. Recently, he was awarded a music scholarship from Nevada Union High School, where he was a sophomore.

undergoing seven years of intensive treatments, Nick won his battle and was cancer-free for the past three years. He was a pioneer of numerous cancer therapies, including a cancer vaccine, and his contributions to the scientific medical community continue to save the lives of children today.
