I’ve been a little out of pocket lately. As I was about to leave town last wednesday to surprise my mom back in Iowa for her birthday, I learned that one of best friends died when his small plane went down in an Orange grove.
It’s been surreal loosing one of your best friends and being out of town. I was happy I was with family during this very tough time.
I’m now briefly back in Denver, but leave in a few hours for Scottsdale, where 100’s of Nick’s friends will lay him to rest. Most of my friends were all close friends with Nick and we all have a long history. Aside from being friends since we were 18, Nick and I lived together for 2 years in our final years of college.

While Nick was a great pilot himself, his pilot was flying the plane and they were en route to Southern California where Nick was set to expand his very successful businesses.

While I am still filled with sadness and pain, I’m comforted knowing Nick died doing what he loved. He also achieved and experienced more in 27 years than most of us will achieve in our whole lives.
I’ve never met anyone that lived life with more vigor, happiness and joy. His drive was unparalleled and he never failed to inspire his friends to chase their dreams and live their life to the fullest. I’ll miss his generous and animated personality that always put a smile on my face.
At 27 Nick was a raging self-made success. He starting several thriving businesses and enjoyed taking to the skies on a regular basis in his beloved planes. In his off time, he traveled the world extensively, surfed Indonesia, Snowboarded the best powder, wakeboarded, raced cars, motorcycles and enjoyed skydiving. Nick could even shred one of his many vintage guitars with the best of em’.
I’ll leave everyone with some links to his Nick Boehle’s online obituary. It’s amazing how many people have left comments.

Here are some pictures of Nick and I that bring a smile to my face.
Keep Nick, Lisa and Brad’s family in friends in your thoughts. They were are bright young people.
Nick - I’ll never forget you brother
I love you, Garrett
