I remember the first time i ever met you, i was sitting in your mum and dads living room.  I had just come over to see Nathan and show off my new hair cut. I was so embrassed, what a mess i thought as you walked in i had not bothered to straighten it!

Then we both loked at each other as we were introduced for the first time. We recognised each other and surprize surprize it was from watching Reading Fc play.  All that time you used to sit behind me and all that time i was going out with Nathan, how funny.  It seemed liked i already knew you for ages, espcially as we cheered and sang away in the stands!

I always think of you at the games.  This is for this weekend 'Come on you Royals'. 

Love Corrine.

I've just seen the remembering nick website and i love it.

So many good photos and thoughts of him. Perfect way to remember my best mate, playing footie at laurel park will never be the same, but those smiles from those photos makes it better,

he will always be there with us! XXXX

Simon Sung: 
When i first heard about what happened to Nick i wass in an act of denial. I wouldn't believe what had happened to my life-long friend, who has always been there for me since we were both in nursery school. He has never given up in me whether i have failed or suceeded.

 I will always remember Nick as the friendly, loving person who was without a doubt one of the most imporant person to ever step foot on the earth. He affected my heart and my mind killing and removing parts of them. Life without you Nick will be different. School will never be the same again. English will have an atmosphere missing the warm feeling you emit because of your presence. Walking home will be affected so much that i'm sure it will become more quiet without your open, freeminded personality. 

My thoughts are with Nick's family and his closest friends.
I hope your soul is safe. All those years with you Nick, washed away. 
I love you. 

Laura Hayes: 
memories of nick 
For the time I knew Nick and was close to him i never knew a better person. Know one will ever have a bad word to say about him. He was easy going and hillariously funny. He was cheeky in a funny way and pushed his luck with me on more than one occasion! But no matter what he was charming and very much a gentle man with me. 
I have some really fond memories of us being together. Beckie, Daniel, Nick, Sian and I all had a really good time together and those memories will always stick. They were the first bunch of real friends I made at Maiden Erlegh. Drama classes without Nick and Daniels 
musicals will never be the same! I asked him once how he was doing and he sang the south park song to me "I'm super thanks for asking" and if you all asked him right now how he was I'm sure thats how he'd reply.
I'll always remember you nick, sleep tight. 
xxxx Lots of Love Laura xxxx

Sophie Pierce: 
I have known Nick a long time. Ever since playgroup really, I have the photo to prove it ; the ever stylish Nick showing off his purple,green and yellow rugby shirt... he told me later it was cool, I have yet to believe him. Our mums used to walk us home together, and i remember chasing him down the road because he wouldn't let me stroke his hair. Speaking of hair, classic bleach incident of the summer, resulting in Mr Stamp looking like justin timberlake! Oh, i never told you Nick, but one of the German girls said you were good looking, i forget which one though. Typical really, even looking like trailer trash he manages to impress...not sure how they would have reacted had he started doing party boy in front of them, but hey. 
God this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write I still reckon he's on some cruise ship somewhere, Nick's too muchof a fighter to have gone. Gawd, the ammount of bruises i got from play fights, pillow fights AND wedgie wars we used to get sucked into with him. One time, him and Ross called for me, and we were down the tree, and Nick picked me up. Then he dropped me without warning and Iwhacked my head so hard on the ground. I would've shouted at him, but I was laughing tooo hard. 
That's another thing bout Nick, aside from being such a sweetheart[most of the time] he had this uncanny knack of making you laugh so hard, it would ache. Ross and Nick, what a pair slightly worrying the ways they liked to dress up in my clothes,and don't even get me started on when we got Nick in face pack and lipstick (daniel was having none of it, too much of a man you see.)  
i've prattled on for a long time, but thats not surprising really, when you think bout all the fun things hes put us through. 
Nick, you are such a lovely guy, a true gem, and I will
treasure you for ever.

God bless chuckle, love you lots, 



Soph

Emma Powell:

To Nick (Stampy)
 
I want to say thank you for bringing brightness into my world. you had an affect on people, you had the ability to retrieve people from the darkest places and give them hope. If i could be half the person you were then i would be happy in the knowledge that i had achieved something in my life. The summer holidays were great with you, playing footie in eds back garden will stay with me for a long time. i dont think ive seen a boys backside as much as ive seen yours. dont worry about leigh-anna (your lulu). I promise to stand by her, look after her eternally, she can count on me. you used to laugh at me when i used big words so i'l make this brief and simple: we love you. we always will no matter what happens. i know that you are in a better place and maybe one day i will be able to join you. you will always be in my thoughts. Thank you for giving us your time when you were here, its painfull that it could not have been for longer.

Love forever and always
Emma

Steve Krzak: 
Although through most the time we've spent at maiden erlegh, i havnt hung around with nick as much as many people have done, both in and out of skool. I did hang around with him a lot in primary skool. I have many memories of nick. One of these is the same as darren wrote about and i'm sure that many others from radstock can remember of nicks, now famous 'man-o-man' game that we played around the padling pool. Although now seems a slightly strange game for a group of boys to want to play, im sure everyone that played will agree that it was fun at the time. I also remember playing wrestling nearly everyday for whata must have been hours on my front garden. We all picked a wrestler and used to kind of hum their theme tune between us as they walked onto the ring(grass) from behind some nearby trees/bushes. 

I also remember going to the Hexagon to watch a wrestling show with him and there are also a lot more great memories i now tresure. 
Another memory is from last year. It was daniels new years eve party and we had been drinkin all nite. Between us we had managed to bring over 30 bacardi brezers and other light drinks and some heavier stuff. From what i can remember of that nite, apart from marrying this girl called emily which i'm sure nick was laughin about, i remember nick being totally pissed and kicking in daniels cd player because it wouldn't 'shut up' After that he decided to switch to the TV and give that a beating. Straight after he was being sick out of the window and ended up having to sleep on the sofa downstairs with a bowl next
to him. Thnx 4 avin that party daniel cos that is one of the most hillarious recentmemories i have of being around Nick.

Nick was a kind person and was always so easy to get along with. I only ever in my whole life remember having one small falling out with nick which was not at all serious and was forgotton about within a couple of days. I remember through the erlier years of maiden erlegh
wen i would walk the last part of the way home from beech lane, just me and nick everyday. Whilst walking this part of the way home with nick, i found it so easy to talk about any problems i was having. He was great listening and talking to me about every thin during this time. 
Nick is probably the kindest and easiest person to get along with that you could meet, and i'm not just saying that. I really think nick was special to everybody who knew him. 
My heart goes out to nicks family at the moment. I cannot name one single person that disliked nick, which isn't suprising for someone with such a personality as him. We should all feel privalged for knowing him. I now realise that we don't appreciate truly great 
things as much as we should until they are gone.

You're great nick and truly missed by everyone that knows u. I'll never forget you, or the memories.
luv ya mate, steve

Leighanna Argrave: 
Nick was this amazing person that befriended me no questions asked, he was the nicest boy i have ever met and he was mine. The thing is everyone still has memories and everyone Nick touched, they loved him and he helped them for whatever it was and whenever he could. He was 'simply the BEST' He meant so much to everyone and he is in our hearts. He is in a better place now, just remember that hes looking down on us, probably saying 'what a bunch of silly sods' but if he knew himself as we knew him then he would cry, he would have to as everyone did.
 But Nick why did you have to go like this? Its never ever going to be the same again. I never told him i loved him which has really got to me and if i could just see him for a couple of minutes, those words would come out. 
You were my Nicali and i was your lulu, i tell you what, that isn't ever goin to change. And if theres a heaven and when its my time i'm going to come and see you up there and be with you forever and when i find you, i will never let you out of my sight.

I LOVE YOU NICK AND ALWAYS WILL! 
Love now, always and forever
 Leigh-anna (aka your lulu) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nick, what a great guy. I have known Nick since the earley stages of my life. Year 2 to be exact. but the time when i became very close friends with him was in year 5. lt was the Radstock gang. IT was a huge huddle of people and what we mainly did was play pogs almost every day outside Darrens house. those were very good days just like every day with Nick 
Nick was always there for me, he always made time for me even in my darkest hours. When my Dad died he was there for me and basically helped me through it,he was even at my Dads funeral. I have only just realised how much my dad meant to him because Daniel told me he came to school crieing the day after. 


I have good memories of Nick some might say too many, i always have considered him as my best friend since the day i met him. Even for the period i was not hanging around with him. I am so glad he approached me to join the now known as p-unit because it has given me even more memories and it was a great time i had with him. He always made me laugh and in the time i knew him i could assure i gave him just as many laughs.
I would just like to thank daniel for this oppurtunity of appreciation towards nick and say that Nick was the best guy i knew and he was always there for me and i would like to thank Nick for alway s being there for me.

R.I.P MY GOOD FRIEND I SHALL NEVER FORGET YOU

Lewis Hillman: 
Whats happened recently cannot be explained, i think it over and over agin in my mind but i cannot understand how someone so great, amazin and funny as Nick had to go. We cant explain why he went because the reasons are too great for our intelect and we would not be able to withstand it but since the day many people have beeen closer together with people they may not have even spoken to before and that is something we must be grateful for. Ive known him for about four years and the four greatest years of my life.
 

 I have very fond memories of him which cannot be taken away by anyone. We all had our day out to Bournemouth Pete, Ed, Ross, Nick and I, I remember all of us going into the water but running out as quickly as we got in as it was so cold! Nick and I decided to run along the beach but soon turned back as it got too stoney. That day was one of many days which i can say was our moments, just beacuse he isnt her anymore doesnt mean he is not with me or anyone else, he will be looking down on us protecting us and giving us thoughts of advice, laughter and we will always remember Nick for this was the guy who was loved by everyone who had met him. We will meet again one day and that day will be my day and my day of reckoning will bring me closer to the guy i love as one of my family. 
Lastly i would like to thank Daniel Robertson
for creating this memorial site and for putting so much thought and love in to it. 
Lewis

There isnt enough ink in the world to right down all my memories Nick, as i ever since i met him 7 years ago now he has filled my life with moments of such happiness he has quite simply been my life. Weather it was sitting next to me at football matches, sleeping round my house, helping him with his papers, playing cricket, sitting at the tree, having a drink at camp david, playing football with me at the park or in my front room or of course my back garden he has simply always been there. He was everything to me.
My association with Nick started 7 long years ago at John Atkins birthday party if i remember correctly, and since that day to this i have worshiped the guy. From that day I have always done my upmost to be with him, weather it was wile playing football with him in the early days of Maiden Erlegh, hanging round with him with Ross, Hayley, Sophie and Emma back in year 9 or being with him as part of the P-Unit/Tree Club a good time was always ensured by him and being happier is hard to imagine. 1m sure people must be sick by now of my countless anecdotes but im sure i should really give another one now and be less of a soppy sod! (as i am sure he is calling us all exactly that rite now) 
One time that will always stick in my head was walking home from asda one time, when we got to beech lane, Nick felt the need to drop his trousers. Not only drop his trousers but also to "thong" his boxers, and then do his famous "partyboy". He then felt the need to "5Op" , which involved bending over to pick up an imaginery coin off the floor. Nick was undettered by the busy Beech Land or the bus stop full of people, he did it all the same and i can't remember laughing so much in my life, my sides felt like splitting and I was crying with laughter. 
I dnt think there is a person he has ever met who he hasnt had this kind of effect on, he jus had that gift to make people laugh, and to make people happy. his couldnt of happened to a more loved person. He will never be forgotten no matter what and i hope everyone does their upmost to ensure this happens. He had such an impact on so many people we cannot let his time with us be for nothing. Please don't let his passing be in vein. He was an example to everyone of how to live, and please make sure what ever you do, do it the way Nick would of wanted.
III never forget you friend, R.I.P-

Ed

Daniel Robertson: my memories of Nick. 

This last few days have beyond a doubt been the hardest of my life. I have lost my closest friend. Someone who was more like a brother to me. But i will always remember him.
 I have so many memories of him and me. I will share some with everyone. On our infamous 2 weeks drinking binge in center parcs Nick after about 4 litres of cider decided to do the pole vault on the beach. he ran up vaulted with this big log and landed, only for the pole to land in between his legs. 
Also me and Nick are by far the worst dancers in the world but when we had had a few we went to the club and proceded to make total tits of ourselves Nick went up to this blatently gay bloke and bumped asses with him and we just danced I really dread to think what we looked like! 
In year 8 we went swimming to coral reef and my sisters m8 spilled chips and ketchup all over him. me and Nick used to play hide and seek in my room when it was pitch black.   at christmas when I walked into my room to find him he picked up my xmas tree and hit me with it then we proceeded to have a full on xmas decoration fight in the pitch black. 
Last new year we got toatally blattered round my house and Nick being Nick wrecked my room staining the floor with chilli. When my dad came to keep him alive during the night Nick started on him saying "cummon then" Nick if i could count up the millions of pounds worth of damage you have caused in my room. i remember on holiday everyday before we went out we listened to "Ioseyourself' to phsyc us up for the night! there are so many songs now that remind me of u, pretty green eyes (me nick and rej in french) lose yourself (drama) giving up (u gettin the words wrong) Scooter (the drunk dance) Angels ( the drunk song) and who could ever the ongoing war with the hamsters beavers squirrels and rebel pigs (me nick webb and rej) when we went to london zoo we both got obsessed with the eye eyes, and at the beach in year nine when we brought that frizzbie with a silver frog on it! 
In year 7 who can forget the "making of the matrix" from tirabed. noone knew it then but that was the soon to be p-units first real meeting.(ed me nick pete ross) i will always remember this realy crap film me and him went 2 c once because we were bored, the transporter, it was so poor!! will never forget playing badminton with nick at Iynees house in the pitch black by candle light and then smuggling a beer home! we had numerous shaving foam fights in my house and once when i got totally pissed everyone thought i was faking and just to prove them wrong nick smashed an egg on my ead tryed 2 make me eat bark threw me in a bush and the on the roundabout! 
At my year 9 sleep over we awoke to ham ish (my dog) raping nick whilst he slept! 
it took us 5 mins to get lost in center parcs and when we found our villa 2 more minits for him to break the window I will never forget how Nick stayed with me in center parcs when i was plastered and couldnt look after myself. he had oportunities to go off and have fun that night but he stayed with me so i didnt get in trouble. i will never forget how my mum said to me when i got in "your lucky you have nick, hes been a good friend to you" and yes nick u have been a good friend, the very best. i couldnt ask for more. we will meet again, you were an inspiration to us all. i now have something to look forward to when its my time to go.
untill we meet again my friend

                                                   
           

Why don't you talk about my child?
Why don't you say his name?
Why don't you put your arms around me
And understand my pain?
Why don't you share the memories
I have up in my head?
Why don't you talk about him
Now that he is dead?

The years have passed since the day he died,
And for you it is over and done,
But I still need all the help I can get,
I'm still grieving for my son.
I know it embarasses you,
I can see it in your face,
But I won't let his name die,
Or sink without a trace.

Don't you know how much it hurts
When you turn your face away,
Every time I say his name
Or recall some special day?
I don't want to make you miserable
When I talk of what I had,
I just need to know you loved him too
And to lose him made you sad.

So please say"NICK" to me,
Just every once in a while,
It won't mend my broken heart
But I know it will make me smile.
This world is a very lonely place
Without my precious boy
So please say "NICK" to me
And bring me back some joy.
                           

Nick was our youngest nephew and we miss him
so much. He had grown from a beautiful baby
into a handsome young man. He had a brilliant
sense of humour along with his cheeky grin.
 

We saw Nick three weeks before he went to
Portugal,I can see him now, standing in the
kitchen at his houseas if it was yesterday.
We still cannot believe this has happened.


 We think of you so much Nick and think about
all thefun times we shared with you, your mum,
your dad,Nev and Nath. We remember our family
days out,birthdays and Christmas's,
 especially the Christmaswhen we had the
"Mince Pie" incident,- that was the Christmas
when your mum and I were walking
along the road with the turkey sat in Elliotts
pushchair because it was too heavy to carry
from the butchers.

 
Then there was the Millenium New Year. What a party
that was!  It started quietly but by 9pm we had the
music on full volume, the party poppers had been
popped, we were well away. You had Elliotts guitar
and were playing along to the music, we did the "knee
dance" (from big brother) and we were singing at the
tops of our voices. It was a brilliant night and one
that we will remember forever.

Now that you have gone, nothing will ever be the
same again.

We thank you Yvonne for doing this website, as it
shows what a wonderful and happy life Nick had.
He would be so proud.

Until we meet again, Nick.

We love you and miss you always xxxxxx

   Natural     
     
What you saw was what you got with
Nick. He did not feel the need to try
and be something or someone else.
Everyone loved Nick for being
Nick. His personality was infectious,
He was naturally funny, spending time
with him always ended in laughter.


      Inspiring     

Nick inspired people.When Nick was
around the  banter flowed and a good
time was assured. Good ideas developed
into great ones. Dull days became
memorable ones.

   Charismatic    

People wanted to be with Nick. A
quiet moment, just to chat or a
shoulderto cry on, (Nick always
seemed to know the right thing to
say) or a "Nick" moment of
outragious behavior.
Nick was never short of friends.


  Kind hearted      

Nick was overwhelmingly kind. He
hated a bad word said about anyone.
He was thoughtful of everyones feelings.
If he could help anyone or anything,
he would.
