Nicholas Alan Van Weele

Nicholas Alan Van Weele, 22, of Moss Bluff, passed away on Friday, August 25, 2017.

Nicholas was born on September 24, 1994, in Wellington, FL, and moved to Moss Bluff with his family in 1998, where he attended Sam Houston High School.  He loved the outdoors, where he could fish and ride four wheelers and dirt bikes, but also enjoyed being indoors drawing and playing computer games.  He had a kind and giving heart, as well as a soft spot for animals, especially his cat companion, Midnight.  Nicholas will be remembered by all for his winning personality and smile. His family will miss their supportive, wonderful, and loving son, brother, grandson, and nephew who will live on in their hearts forever.
