I didn’t know Nolan well or at all really. My mother and his mother were colleagues in 1991. They both ended up pregnant and Nolan and I were born a day apart in the same hospital, in the same room I believe. I was told we had play dates when we were young, too young to remember. I didn’t see Nolan again until around 05/06, our mothers tried to get us to be friends but I think we were too shy or maybe it felt too forced and we didn’t really connect. I was asked to look out for him when he came to Maples Collegiate and I did, though not for long because I remember him making friends pretty quickly. He’s popped into my head randomly throughout the years. It’s a shame we didn’t connect as kids, he seemed like a cool guy.

To Lisa, my mother gives her sympathies and love.

Nolan was the most beautiful soul you could ever meet. He made friends everywhere he went. He was the definition of a free spirit. He was raised to become such incredible man. he was truly loved a lot of people. He was protective of all those he loved. You could always count on Nolan to be there for you. You couldn't help but smile every time he was around. He always brightest day and could make me laugh even on the hardest days. I will miss him a lot. I will remeber all the amazing moments we had and cherish those memories forever. He will never be forgotten. I hope wherever he is, he knows how truly loved he was. We will see eachother again, I know it. Until then xoxo.

Beautiful photos, you can tell his spirit was wild and free. Such a beautiful life he had, RIP. Sending much love and healing vibes your way.

I am so sorry to hear of Nolan's passing. My love & Prayers are with you & the family.

RIP my friend miss n love you. I am also checking in on Ashley for you as she missing you soooo much. You will always be the love of her life soul mate.

I was absolutly floored to learn the news when i was first told. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions since finding out. There is no amounts of words i can use to describe how sorry for his parents and siblings i am.

But there are so many good memories with Nolan like Marc said, the endless amount of aimless driving around the city. Going ghost hunting or just exploring the city. Going for bike rides all over the city. All the bonfires and endless laughter we shared together will be for ever cherrished.

I hope to see you on the otherside when i get there Nolan, i love you brother!

My most heartfelt sympathies to you, Lisa, and your family. Such a beautiful tribute to your beautiful son. I have loved hearing so many Nolan stories from you over the years. He lived well and was so loved. I know you will cherish every memory. I am sending you and yours my love.

Wish I knew what happened I know we all had our falling outs. But so sad cant let go of all the great times Marc, zinyk, you and I had the basement. The wrestling lol bike riding, cemetery, kildonan park, perogies with hot sauce, we were all over.

We will miss you bigbear and I can only imagine how Marc and his mother as well as Jade are feeling. Would not want their pain.

I am so sorry Nolan. I love you and I will miss you forever 💖

Nolan was like a nephew to us.. sometimes he would call us auntie & uncle. We had many celebrations together with our family. We loved him and he will be greatly missed. He was such a kind and generous man. I remember one night when we heard a sound of scraping outside our window.. we looked and low and behold, it was Nolan snowblowing our driveway & sidewalk... wanted to surprise us.. Gone far too soon.

I absolutely loved the photos! I will miss Nolan with all my heart. Sending love and big hugs to you, Lisa, Madi and Adam.

Nolan wasn’t just my cousin—he was my best friend. We grew up together and did just about everything side by side. From sleepovers at each other’s houses, to bus rides to Flin Flon with Grandpa, to riding our bikes all over the city, we were always together, always finding ways to make the most of the time we had.

Some of my favorite memories are the simplest ones—from playing Hot Wheels cars for hours as kids, to listening to Lamb of God on his PSP during lunch in high school, to driving around aimlessly with nowhere to be and nothing planned in my Blazer or his Lumina. Those moments didn’t feel important at the time, but it’s the little ones like that that I’ll cherish the most now.

Even as life aged us and moved us in different directions, that bond never changed. Nolan will always be a part of who I am, and I’ll always be grateful for the memories, the laughter, the adventures, and the years we got to grow up together.

Nolan, I hope wherever you are, you’re keeping those Dickies clean and I’ll see you when I get there, buddy.

What a beautiful tribute and may your spirit soar.

Lisa,

What a lovely tribute! I never met your son but I can see from this video his zest for life and how close you all were as a family. I know he will be deeply missed but you will cherish many lovely memories of him.
