I just found out about Nick last night. I know its been years now,but it brand new to me. Nick was my first boyfreind I loved. We were young. Ive been looking at our old pictures togther and its just so hard to beleive. My heart is truley broke. Ive been thinking about him latley I was just talking about him to a freind. This is so crazy. I was trying to find him. To see how he was, what does he look like,Is he married. Im sadden to hear of this. Love you always Nicky poo.
RiP cuzo. i miss you, definately one of a kinD!
It seems that everyday another soul is taken away,
Taken to a place where they’ll finally be okay.
Taken to the place where all souls go in the end,
To wait for themselves to begin again.
That’s where you’ve gone now,
And even though it doesn’t seem profound;
We all know it’s where you were destined to go,
To a place that noone living can know.
We hope and pray that you will be alright,
Because by cherishing your memory we’ll be fine.
We pray to God to take care of you,
To keep you protected like He has wanted to.
We will be awaiting the day we join you where you are now,
Where the angels sing songs so loud.
To be in that place above the clouds,
And now that you rest there we are all scarred.
Your memory will stay in our hearts,
Where it won’t be far.
So that in our hours of despair,
We can know you’re there.
Rest in Peace, Nick Mathis. May God take care of you now.

so sad to loose a friend at this age love u and will miss u nick u were a good friend to all of our(kimmons)family love u and prayers to ur family
It is still hard to register the thought of Nick being gone. I went and seen him last night at his wake and I guess it still hasn’t hit me like it should. He looked good. But it is a shame he left at the young age of 27. We all grew up together,Nick and Dennis has always been like brothers to me, always there when I needed them. My oldest brother Steven and Nick were always together where u found one, there was the other. My dad Steve Pace was Nick’s coach, from t-ball up to minor league baseball. We all practically lived together. I’m gonna miss you Nick. Wish u didn’t have to go, but God obviously needed u more. Love u. U will always be one of my Big Brothers.
WELL WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS I DIDN’T BELIEVE, BUT NOW THAT READ THIS I’M SADDEN. WHAT YOU (BOBBY) MUST BE GOING THROUGH?.
YES, BUT YOU KNOW THE GOOD LORD KNOWS BEST.
LOVE YOU BOBBY AND DENNIS
PRAYING FOR YOU TWO, TO HAVE PEACE IN YOUR HEART.

I’ve known Nick since Kindergarten. He was a great friend and will be missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to the Mathis family.
Nick was a life long friend, that was very dedicated to all his friends. He will greatly be missed and loved everyday. The Mathis family will be in our thought and prayers with our deepist sympathy.
