MessageWe are so, so sorry to hear about your tragic loss. We met your family playing soccer two years ago. Our son Quincy and your son Nick were on the same team. Nick Sr. was very friendly and often stayed to help run practices. Quincy was in Nick's class this year and he told me you and Nick came to the last day of school. Quincy is right now wearing the bracelet you gave him in honor of Nick. We will always remember him. Please know you are in our thoughts.

MessageI did not know Nick personally but have ties with Descenders Cycling Club; mainly through filmmaking. I was deeply saddened to hear of this tragic accident on what most of us think to be a perfectly safe bike path. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.

MessageMy husband Scott worked with Nick at E&Y and has always spoken very highly of him. We attended the services yesterday and I was so touched by the outpouring of love and support for Nick. Deb your words and sentiment will stay with me forever. If there is good that can come of such a tragedy it is so many of us discussing after the services that we intend to live more as you and your family have.. . to the fullest and placing the highest priority on time with family and friends. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your children.

MessageI knew Nick professionally for the last eight years, but he always took time to talk about his family, and was also interested in my family. He was always so cordial and the utmost professional in our dealings. Nick and his family are in my prayers.

MessageI am so incredibly sorry for your lose. I was actually there on that very route, ran from Carmel Valley exit to Camino Del Sur and back. I was right behind the accident as I was driving home. I pulled over to see if I could help. I was heartbroken. The people that were on the scene already were trying so hard to save Nick, doing all they could and never giving up. The paramedics also tried everything. I wanted so bad to do something to make him ok. He passed doing what he loved and that is something to remember. I never got to meet Nick but he sounds like he was a remarkable human being and that is what will be remembered of him by all who knew and didn't know him. Again, I am so sorry and I will keep you all in my prayers. I am sure Nick is racing his bike right now up in heaven and looking down on you all and keeping you safe. God bless.

MessageFrom a fellow cyclist:

I don't know Nick, never got to meet him. But I often ride the same route as him. The accident shocked me and shook me up.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I hope you are cycling amongst the clouds.

MessageHow do you say in 1500 characters what your nephew, Nick Venuto, meant to you?
How do you say anything to deal with the loss of a person so young, so obviously happy and full of love for his wife, his children, his family, his work, and all those whose lives he touched?
The only way I know is to try to find blessings amid this trajedy.
The first blessing for me is just to have known Nick. I saw him grow from a baby, to a boy "blowing" more than "playing" the tuba, to a handsome young man, to someone I thought of as a friend and a role model as a husband, father, and professional. My life and the lives of my family have been enriched by Nick.
The second blessing is that Nick taught, or tried to teach me greater patience. He did so as a child, when I wanted to rush around, practically dragging him by the arm, during the summer "cousin swap" visits that my son John spoke of at the vigil last night. He did so as an adult, when he rode with me and my three children on the first leg of my bike ride across the US, and I saw him being so patient with me, and especially with my daughter Nicole, on the climb into Alpine that was not as easy for us as for him. He taught me with his easy calmness and his great smile.
The third blessing is the lesson in his loss. He teaches us to hold on to each day, to each experience, and to each person, like that moment may be your last. I know Nick had a wonderful way of doing that.
Thank you Nick for your gifts. Rest in peace.
