Nicholas Ray Gilbert's Obituary
Nicholas Ray Gilbert born on February 11, 1979, passed away on September 12, 2023 leaving a void in the hearts of his friends, his chosen family.
Nick may not have had a traditional family, but his friends were the family he cherished. Loved as a brother, he offered a helping hand and comforting words even when facing his own challenges.
In his 44 years, Nick taught us that family transcends blood, defined instead by love, friendship, and compassion.
Rest in peace, dear friend. Your absence is deeply felt, but your spirit lives on in the love and memories you've shared.
