What a beautiful Memorial!  / Shelley Huberty (Friend of family )

What a nice memorial site Debbie. I didn't have the priviledge of knowing Nick but this site shows what a special son he is.

Thank you and your family for being there for us during our tragedy. It means more now than ever as I look back at that day something I try not to focus on too much. Those thoughts and facing the reality of it all is when the pain is unbearable. Please visit Remeber Matt Huberty. (Note: remember is mis-spelled) 

Lets get together for lunch sometime. Shelley

What a feeling  / ~MOM~
Oh what a great feeling it is to have the track opened. It has helped me in ways I can't explain. Being around all the bikes and the mx  family help me to feel like maybe I could be normal again. The kids are having a blast there. And even Kenneth and John are riding. I know you have been watching Bubba too. He's pretty good Nick. I miss u dearly but think of you so often as no one here could ever forget you and they always seem to let us know that just when we need it most. Keep watching over us and guiding us in the direction you want us to go. One day we will all celebrate a reunion with you that will be totally out of this world. Love you and miss you my angel.Love Mom Close

Track opening reschedule  / ~Mom~
We have had to move the track opening from Sept. 26th to Oct. 10th because of the rains. Hope everyone can still turn out to celebrate Nick's track with us. Close

You still are missed so much  / ~Mom~
As the track is coming together I feel so much excitement and such sorrow at the same time. You would have been flying high at the opening. I know you will be there to touch us all in spirit. You brought so much into so many peoples lives. Not just your family but your friends. I just needed you to know that we still need your presence and always will . I love you and miss you so much my angel! Close

Still thinkin of you  / ~MOM~ (MOM)
As the summer is fast approaching us all I can seem to think about is all the days we spent at the track. We are going to the property every chance Dad has for the kids to ride. They are getting ready for the fair races. John has him a play toy now also. We dont hold it against him that its a HONDA! I cant wait for the Trimble County race. You know we are having a big pro purse in honor oy you in your class. Your sponsors were great to help us with that. I miss you more everyday. But I know that you are always there with us. Your presence is still felt everywhere and by everyone. That smile and those eyes of yours will always be remembered. I love you and miss you so much. Please continue to stay there with us all. Love you my baby Close

Miss you....  / Jackie (friend)
So it has almost been a year since you've been gone, and life has been so different without you. I can't help but wonder how life would be if you were still here with us. I will always keep the moments we had together close to my heart, especially that night at Paoli. I miss you so much and I always think about you. I hope you are watching over us all, especially in the weeks to come. Your family is always in my prayers. I love you Nick and I can't wait to see you again some day. Close

we never met  / Mark Folchi
I found this site by searching for motocross dtrack in kentucky. As a parent of a kid who rides and is now 18 years of age I felt pulled to tell you how sorry I am to read the news of your son.
 I will pray for all of you and know that no words can take away your pain. You will all be in my heart.

Thinking of you  / Tom Matthews
I don't know if you have something to do with it? I suspect you do but 228 keeps poping up lately.  I was doing some work here replacing broken equipment and the gear box I needed was on p228.  I just assume its your way to say hey! or sorry about the weed eater, the 50, my old fishing pole... boy we all miss you being around to keep life interesting.   Keep an eye on 'Pudge' for me this spring he is growing way to fast.  Close

Your Friends  / Mom (Mom)
Your friends have became our Family. As hard as it is without you they give us comfort. They miss you as deeply as we do. When everybody gets together you are always what seems to come up. Your were so blessed to have had so many people who truly loved you with all their heart. I hope you can continue to help us make it through these tough times. We all love and miss you dearly. Especially those big eyes that shined like the stars in the sky. And that oh so devilish grin you had. You still bring a smile to my face. I love you so. Close

No one can forget you.  / Michael Akaydin (Friend)
Nick, no one can forget you. We just want you to know we are thinking about you and your family. Close

You are thought of daily....  / Ruby Dedman (Friend)

We miss you so much!  No matter what time of day, season or event you are constantly in our thoughts.  We all speak of the memories that we have of you and are so amazed that God blessed us with such a wonderful and unforgettable person.  Your talents and personality both on and off the track I hope will be a lesson to everyone.  I miss the friend, the rider, the jokster...I miss you, Nick Howard.

You let us know that you were present during some of the Happy New Year texting that was sent and received.  Your number came up several times.  Thank you for being there.

Just remembering  / Mom (Mom)

As I sit here looking back and can remember all those times you had me on the floor and begging you to let me up. Believe it or not I'm not a pretzel. Boy did we have alot of laughs together.

I go to visit your grave site on a daily basis. I look over at the pond and I can still see you up there fishing with my scooter parked close to you. I can also see the other boys who you swore always walked up there because you knew not to ride double on my scooter. HAHA. All the bigs ones you caught and all the stories you told about the one who got away. I cant even count the times that I said clean your room and you would reply as soon as I come home from fishing. The weather is perfect for it today.

I look up to the night sky as the stars come out I always think that you are the brightest one up there. I can feel you so close but yet so far away. I know that you are being taken good care of because your biggest fan was there waiting for you to arrive. I can only imagine the rush he felt when you came through those gates. He heart must have been beating so fast. I know he was so glad to have you give him a show again and a run for his money.

Not a minute of any day goes by without my heart breaking from missing you. I had so many hopes and dreams for you. We all did. I know that you will fulfill them all only in another destination. You were so loved by so many people who all miss you dearly. I know you are watching out for us all and helping to guide us through this turbulence that we are in.

My guys at work help me to get through everyday that I feel so lost. I really would be without all the support I get from them and everybody else.

Daddy misses you in ways that I can't even explain. You were that chip right off of his shoulder. So much like him in so many ways. Strong, caring and loving and always trying to do the right thing.

You brought more to our lives than I think we could have ever given back to you. You were truly a blessing to us all and we miss you and love you dearly.

I hope that the New Year will give us all some sort of peace and comfort.

I love you my baby boy and miss you more than words could ever express. Keep watch over us all.

Love you always ~Mom

Christmas without you  / Mom (Mom)
Where do I begin how to say how it feels without you being here for Christmas. We have always enjoyed the season and watching you kids light up because of all the stuff you would get. we had so many laughs together. remember last year putting Ciarra's I-Coaster together. None of us could figure it out, but you did. And don't forget Kenny's air hockey. The puck flying off the table because you all were cheating. This year is already so different without you. Who will help Kenneth put everything together and keep him going. Please watch over him carefully. He needs you so bad. Nana will be home on Saturday as I know you already know this. I am sure you had your hands right in the middle of that one. Thank you. Who would have ever thought that such a small town kid would have made such an impact on not only his families life but all that came into contact with him. You are so missed by so many people who just loved you for the special guy you turned into. We never said it enough to you how proud we were of the young man you became. You taught us all to love so deeply and always let us know that you loved us in return. We were so blessed to have you for the short time that we did. But I know in my heart you are always with us as you know how bad we need you. I can only tell you know that I love you and miss you dearly. I look up into the night sky and I know you are that bright star watching over us all. I love you my baby. Close

wish i would have's  / Kate Howard (Sister)

from day one,all we did was fight, now all i do is fight back the tears. and wonder what i should do,because there is no one that can ever replace you. i never really told you all the things i felt, or how much i really did love you. i wish we could go back an start over,i dont like this feeling of being alone, i need my brother, i need my best friend back, it's sad you had to leave without saying goodbye,i just hope you know how much you were loved as you took off to the sky. when you think of me while your up in heaven,i hope you can see how much you meant to me. and even though i never said have the things i should. an seemed to say all the ones i shouldn't of, i hop eyou can see how much i loved you. you did so much for me,you weren't just my brother you were my best friend,and i'll miss you forever,untill we meet again.

*watch over us and surround us in the light of the big bright eyes,we all need you more than ever right now*

-i love you-
