There are no words to express our sorrow. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
He was the son I wish I had I loved him very much. His smile lit up the world!
Nik was one of my students in the PLP program at DU. I remember the first quarter of his first year I caught him watching sports on his computer during class. He looked up at me with the “cat that ate the canary “ expression and shrugged his shoulders as he closed his computer. He ended up being a wonderful student who I looked forward to joking around with for years to come. He is missed. -Effley Brooks
We were devastated and shocked to hear the news of Nik’s passing. Nik was a great kid growing up. I always remember him being friendly, happy and always engaging.

Oh my gosh Karen. My heart is broken for you. I’m sitting here crying and can’t believe it. Stay strong, dear friend and know that your son is with the angels who are taking care of him. I love you very much. Call me when you can.

I am so sorry to hear of this. I wish you strength, love and peace. And big healing hugs Karen. 💜
Our son, Drew Callahan, went to elementary, jr and high school with Nik. Nik was always a nice guy. He helped Drew create our backyard wiffle ball park. Remember picking up Nik, Drew and a few boys after last day of school at Laidlaw, stopping at old 7-11 for slurpees, boys laughing all the way home. Peace.
From Hamburg and Chicago the entire Adler/ Keesey family send love and strength.
I am so sorry. Everyone that worked with him at Breckenridge loved being around him. His kindness and positivity were infectious. We started on the Breck Snowmaking Team at the same time. He loved life and everything he did. He made everyone’s day a bit brighter.
Condolences from the brothers of the Denver Chapter of Delta Chi. Nik will be missed.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of Nik, and the pride that must be yours to have raised such a fine young man. Nik will be missed.
Thinking of you all in the death of Nik. Our hearts and our prayers are with you. Your family is and always will be a special part of the Flanagan relatives.
