Life story

Nick was born on January 15, 1978 to David and Vicky (Burdin) Woods. He loved his little sister Crystal (Woods) Kiefer. Nick was a talented musician. He played guitar and was a member of several bands with his buddies. He was very intelligent and skilled at anything. He could literally fix anything and everything. He was everyone's handyman. He cared deeply about those he loved especially his children; Piper and Liam. He was a loving father to Piper and Liam and would do anything for them. He was a loyal husband and friend. He and Daleanne started dating at age 15. They were together almost 20 years before he asked her to marry him. They were together almost 30 years before he passed away. He was a family man who always made time for his family. Nick was quiet but could also talk your ear off (especially if alcohol was involved) and let his guard down around those closest to him. To know him was to love him. He loved music, animals, tinkering with things, football, and movies. Nick enjoyed playing video games especially with Piper and Liam. Nick loved his in-laws Dale and Alberta Laws. He especially loved to give his mother-in-law a hard time. Nick died unexpectedly of sudden cardiac death. He was loved by many and will never be forgotten.
