Nick was a radiant young man who showed such deep interest in his studies here at Portland State University. His curiosity, his kindness to his fellow classmates and to his professors and his work ethic and work quality made him stand above the rest. He sought out meetings with faculty to plan his wonderful future and quickly endeared himself to all of us. We are beyond devastated to hear the news of his passing. Nick was a treasure. We will really miss him so much. Sending our most heartfelt condolences to his friends and family in Tuebingen. We cannot imagine your pain. Please know that Nick was beloved here at PSU. Viele liebe, liebe Gruesse aus Oregon <3
