A professor of mine and his wife have a son who has been battling cancer since 2002, the year I graduated from KCC. Tim and Tammy Nischan also have 3 other childen, one adopted from India (Olivia), they also lost a baby girl to SIDS in 1997. She was 6 weeks old. Their journey has been painful and would be unbearable to so many, however they remain faithful and strong in the Lord. They lean on the word of God and people of God...
Nick has used the "thumbs up" throughout his battle and it has become his "trademark" if you will. Alex Trebek even sent him a photo of himself with his thumbs up...There is a picture his mom took when they were driving of a cloud that looks like a thumb up!!! Encouragement from God???
He has remained faithful, strong, and positive. He refused any pain meds except for an occasional tylenol, which is amazing considering the size of the tumors that were growing on his spine and brain! He was a HUGE Titans fan and got to attend a game with his mom and mom's friend this past fall!
I will use the words already printed by his dad...
Nick Nischan won his battle and finished his race victoriously this morning at home surrounded by his family. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. Please keep the Nischan family in your prayers at this time. He finished in peace and with strength. thank you for your prayers and your continued prayers. They have truly brought us through. tim
PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE LIFE NICK LEAD IN CHRIST. PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE HE HAD THROUGHOUT THE BATTLE. PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS PROMISES OF ETERNAL SALVATION WITH HIM IN HEAVEN...
