RIP Nick Gowdy
Posted By admin on February 23, 2010
I just found out an old friend of mine, Nick Gowdy, passed away. We knew each other from years ago at Meeker Elementary School and on into Ames High. He was a friend of mine from way back at Meeker Elementary in Ames. Nick had serious disabilities but was always a special soul. As I understand it… he had a valve repair for his heart early this month. They disconnected him from the breathing tube and he was doing well. A few days later his kidneys began to shut down and his liver numbers were high, he was medicated until his passing after removing his life support & passed on a few days later.
Rest in peace, brother.
finding pictures
-for Nick
I’m looking through some pictures
and the memories laying there
wondering if I’ve got any words
or extra thoughts to share
I could go on about all
the times we had at school
or how your presence would
always light up the room
you were no different than us
in fact we’re all the same
we were just little kids back then
playing the same games
they say someone’s legacy
is the people that they touch
my brother, I hope you see
we loved you so very much
now I’ll close the photo album
that lies open inside my mind
and say another prayer for you
and the peace I hope you find
-RDS 2/23/10
