I remember sitting in your room and listening to music, walking to the park - smoking cigarettes on the swings. I have kept the pictures you made. They have moved thousands of miles with me and remind me of a time when life was simpler and unending. I knew even then our paths were short lived. You and I were from different worlds, but for a moment we were connected by a bond I have never been able to explain. I think of you all the time. I have wondered about you and prayed for you. Just today I learned you are gone. But you are forever in my heart. I wish I could go back now that I know more, and ask the right questions instead of sitting silently while you would draw. The year you died I was hired by my current company. My first boss was named Steve Boyer. I was always amazed at this. Perhaps this is life's way of saying you remembered me too. I have always missed you and will continue to until we meet again. Thank you for being a part of my life.
We met the first day of 7th grade and skated for the next 3 years basically non stop. After we finished school I always would be excited that around Christmas you would likely be in town and we would catch up. You made everything so much better then it was. I remember you taking old boards from my house that I felt had no life left in them and you would paint them and set them up and I would think "crap that board is so sick now, I wish I woud have kept it." You could do anything at the highest level with so little effort. Miss and Love you Steven Nickolas!
I miss skating all over town with you and just having the best times. I still Skate at Warren from time to time and feel so lucky to have grown up in the neighborhood we did!

Dear Steve,
