Nick A Dewhirst

West Point, 2006

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by 1LT Christian Hoempler on July 23, 2008:

Nick was the single nicest guy I've ever met. Honest, smart, mature, humble, a good Christian, someone to laugh with, not afraid to randomly dance with women in their 50's or belt out classic rock songs in that same piano bar, or say something that ends up sticking with you for the rest of your life; Nick was the kind of man that unknowingly influenced others to be better people. I've even had this conversation with friends, while Nick was alive, saying what a good guy he was. That's quite uncommon. He always grabbed life by the horns, and invited others for the ride. I'm a better man for having known and learned from Nick, and I thank him. I thank God for people like him, who are few and far between, but make all the difference. My thoughts and prayers go to his family, friends, and soldiers.
