I never really spoke with Nick Garber more than a "good game" after a Chico High football contest. So it would be wrong to say that I knew him.
But from what I've heard from people who I admire and respect, Nick was a great kid who shined at what he did. And from what I've witnessed around campus, he was truly admired and will be missed forever.
I'd like to pass along any information about services that I can. Wrestling coach Keith Rollins said that there are servies Saturday and that's all I heard.
If anyone has detailed information, please drop me an email or comment on this blog post. I'd like to get the info up as soon as possible.
About Me: Leland Gordon is the prep sports writer for the Chico Enterprise-Record and a 2006 graduate of Chico State with a journalism major and French minor. His prep sports writing career began when he was 17 years old at the Mountain Democrat in Placerville and he has also done news writing for The Orion at Chico State and Silicon Valley Community Newspapers in San Jose.
Also known as “Lee,” Mr. Gordon is a fanatic when it comes to the following things: long car trips, hiking, snowboarding, wakeboarding, bowling, disc golfing and a whole bunch of other stuff. But his passion (for now, at least) is Northern Section prep sports.
Leland earned seven varsity letters at El Dorado High School and refereed prep wrestling in the north state before getting hired at the E-R.
Nick's service is Sat. at 11 at Neighborhood Church
