Joanne, there are no words in this world that I can say to express how I feel about your loss. May God be with you and your family in this time and may Niki from heaven look after his brothers and you.

For Niko’s family and loved ones:

I had the pleasure of meeting Niko through Nathy, his cousin. She is my best friend.
Back in 2017, she knew I had to run some errands in Miami, so she told me: “I’ll ask my cousin to come and pick you up, he’s so nice and cool, I’d like you to meet him”
From the instant I met Niko, I was amazed by his presence. I had been dabbling in spirituality for a few years, and here was this very spiritual 19-year-old, kind, humble, and generous. We were talking about some deep stuff about 10 minutes from having met for the first time, on the ride to the bank.

We have kept in touch since then, me living in Ecuador and him in the US.
He told me he wanted to visit me in Guayaquil. In 2019, he came and stayed in the house where I live with my parents.
I was working in an airline at the moment and my schedules were a mess, plus I was going through a particularly stressful time.
I sure would’ve liked to spend more time with Niko and show him around and take him to the beach.
“Ecuador is full of beautiful places”, I told him and encouraged him to go and travel by himself since I couldn’t come with him.
He preferred to stay at home. He meditated, he cooked for my family, friends, and me.
He was just glad to have the experience of sharing that time with us, not doing anything particularly fun, but just living in the moment and being present.

In January 2020, I was back in Miami after leaving the airline, and not knowing when I would be able to come back, I knew I had to see Niko at least for a few moments.
I got to meet him at the beach, with my father and a friend. She later told me Niko had helped her flowed at that moment.
It sure was a beautiful moment, sun was high and sand was warm. We took a selfie.
I am really glad I could see him that time, it was just before taking the plane back home. I did not know that was the last time I would see him. He was really happy that day, as he usually was.

We kept on texting after that, he’d tell me about him living in the desert and living in Tallahassee, I’d tell him about getting stuck in Chile because of the pandemic.
He was the one usually texting me first, but Niko was always present in my mind. I was always sure we would meet again many times.
He told me he wanted to come back to Ecuador and visit me again. I told him it would be great and this time I could come with him and travel.
On the last conversation we had, he asked me when my birthday was, and I learned his was on September 7th. One day before my brother’s, whom I lost to the water and doing what he loved as well, 3 years ago in July.

After learning the sad news of his passing from Nathy, I told my parents and friends who got to know him. They all had the best of words for Niko.
My mom remembers him like this: “he was so special, he wrote this letter thanking us for his stay, he opened his heart through those words and shared his feelings in a very humble manner”
I would’ve loved to know more of Niko, to learn more from him. It always surprised me how spiritual he was, being of such a young age.
He was just special indeed, I could see that from the first time.

I just hope you find hope and comfort in knowing that Niko touched many lives and that he will live in the memory of many.

My deepest regards,
Ivan Ponton Loaiza

I will always remember him as a kind, funny, lighthearted, friendly, and compassionate young man.
It broke my heart having heard the news of his passing.

The entire department loved him, and he became a part of the NCLH Corp Ops family very quickly.
An easy person to like and get along with. He was so kind and respectful to everyone.

He always had a smile on his face. He never stopped smiling. Ross would always ask him
why he was always smiling. He was a light source in our department. A steady and hard worker
with a heart of gold.

I was fortunate to have talks with him concerning our love for nature and meditation.
He was the one that introduced me to Wim Hof and his methods.

I remember he once apologized to me for something or other. He told me that he
would try and change, and I remember specifically telling him
” I want you to be you” I didn’t feel he needed to change anything.
He was an easy person to like and care about. A true kind and loving soul.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

You will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

Niki was special and had a pure heart. His love for his family was noticed specially for his mother and father. His sincere smile was radiant that draw people towards him. We all knew that Gods anointing and presence was on his life. We will see you again Niki!
Love You Mijo!

I Loved that young man.He was a special gift from the FATHER GOD.This world wasn’t good enough for this precious young man.Everytime I saw him it was special meeting.Ill see you later NIKI.NEVER GOODBYE.YOUR IN HEAVEN NOW.I CANT THINK OF A BETTER PLACE TO BE.EXCEPT HERE WITH US.LOVE YOU

Primito hermoso té recuerdo y te tengo presente desde que tu cabello eran ricitos de oro!!!

Words cannot express how sorry I am for the loss of Niko. He was one of a kind. Smart, funny, hard working and generous. The entire NCLH team is saddened by his loss. Sending lots of love and prayers to your family at this very difficult time.

You were my childhood friend many years ago but I know you have only ever been nothing but a good hearted person. Just like everyone is saying, you were a kind person who loved all good and holy things and chose to love your life and be thankful for life the way everyone else should. Rest in paradise bro, we all know with no doubt that you are at God’s side and have lived your life by his word. You left a mark on how to enjoy life on everyone

Niko was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. He was a delight to be around and lived in tranquility. I loved him as a brother and I know for a fact he is at peace now. I will never meet anyone like him and will miss him dearly. He taught me to open up again and live my life to the fullest. He truly changed my perspective on the world when I was at my lowest point. Love you brada.

Estimado amigo. No hay palabras para explicar el dolor. Solo el tiempo y Dios nos hace entender lo que no podemos ver. Te mando a usted y a su Angelito un abrazo de condolencias y de consuelo. Lo lamento de todo corazon. Espero poder converar contigo pronto. Dios los bendiga a los dos!

Nick was my first friend I made during highschool. Our senses of humor instantly clicked and since then we were always hanging out and just enjoying our brother-like bond. Nick was always goofing around with me and that’s what made him-him. He brought light into a dim world and I’ll always cherish our bond and friendship. It still doesn’t feel real to me that he’s no longer with us but I’ll always remember our conversations and him believing in me just as I will always believe in him. Rest In Peace Nick, thank you for sharing your light with me.

My deepest condolences to your family. Niko was very special to me. My Daughter and I met him in Walmart and we have been so close ever since. Niko had the sweetest soul, I miss his smile, hugs, notes and most of all our deep and spiritual conversations. Your will forever be in my heart my sweet sweet Niko. Rest in paradise Son. I love you❤️

May Niki soul rest eternally in peace. Will miss seeing him at the house during the holidays. May his smile live on forever. Until we meet again, well done good and faithful servant. Prayers to the family that you give them strength during this next chapter. Miss you Niki xo Natacha

Dear Hector,
My heart breaks with the loss is Angel.
I always thought that I had time to finally meet him in person. I was wrong and it puts life into perspective. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. The Lord can call you at any time. Life is extremely short. It’s a blink in eternity and we must enjoy every second.
In this time of such sorrow, I wish you peace in your heart, strength to endure the times that you will miss holding your beautiful son. Such beautiful soul. Such palpable warmth when you look at his smile. His curly hair, just like yours when you were his age. May he Rest In Peace in the glory of our Lord and Savior, and may he live in our hearts until our earthly time ends.
I send you a big hug.

It still is unimaginable to think that he will not be present physically, but I know he is with all of us spiritually.
No words can express to all of you how sorry we are for your loss. Nik was an angel that came to earth to enlighten all our lives. From day one you just knew how special he was. God called his angel back to heaven for a purpose that we will never understand. But I feel so blessed to have had our time on earth with him.
Spread your wings Nik, soar through the heavens. We love you and will miss you!

Dearest Caroline, TJ, Savvy and the entire family of Nikolas, especially his parents and brothers. My heart is with you all during this time.

While I didn’t know your beloved, personally, I can’t help but to be moved by the countless photos and beautiful tributes made to this amazing young man. Serving God, his undeniable love for family, nature, music and living life are all such meaningful qualities.

I pray for tremendous peace, strength, comfort, love and understanding through this time. While it’s unimaginably hard, remember to Trust The Lord as you will all be together again where there is no end, with our Father, in Heaven.

Sending continued love and light.

God Bless.

Angel , simplemente dejaste tu cuerpo, has desencarnado fue la voluntad de Dios, lo que tenías que vivir lo viviste. Sigues ahí solo estás en otra dimensión dónde no necesitas de un cuerpo, solo tu alma para que tú espíritu siga vivo. Estás en el plano de luz donde todos vamos a estar.
Dios te bendiga

Querida Johany y familia:

Who would’ve known that we are blessed with angels like you, you’re always in our hearts and I’m so grateful for the awesome times we shared, you always made me laugh and you will live on. You taught me things, and you still are. You’re with god and in a great place and continue to shed blessings until I see you again.
You are very missed, love always wins.
My condolences to the family, you have many people to support you. Nik wants us to keep faith and love, always
