Nicholas Aaron Sauls, age 27, passed from this earth on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. He was born on January 20, 1986 in to Jerry and Sandra Sauls.

“Nick” was affectionately known for being a very caring person. He loved helping people and never complained. Dropping by his grandmother’s house for a visit was not uncommon. Everyone in his family benefited from his patient and caring personality, from giving haircuts to spending time on the couch watching TV with his Mom, or attending church with his Dad. He was also a caretaker to a special friend, Rosalie.

Nicholas was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, John Thomas and Ruth Autry Sauls, and his maternal grandfather, James Reid Bowen.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his maternal grandmother, Inez Marie Bowen; brothers, Jerry Sauls, Jr. and Brian Christopher Sauls; a sister, Holly Nicole Sauls and husband Tristan Anthony Banks; nephews, Lucas, Tristan, Carter and Camden; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2013 at Wilmington Funeral Chapel. The Reverend Bill Cooper will officiate. The family will receive friends from 2-3 p.m. before the service.

    Jerry, Sandra, and Family: As Joannie and myself were driving home Saturday evening we gazed into the sky. It was right around dark. We saw a star so bright that it was lighting up the sky all by itself. We looked at each other and that's Nicholas. The star was really bright just like it was saying " hey its me!you know Nicholas this is my star watch for me I'll pass by every night" .. To us and to all of you that's the way we need to talk to Nicholas. Watch for his star and he'll let us know he's OK. With all our love The Coleman Family.

    I keep looking at this page not wanting to let you go. I feel that if I close the window I will lose my last connection to you forever! Death has come to many before you but yours has hurt me the most. I know we're never promised tomorrow so I try to think of how I can in some way try to live each day forward better than the last. I never thought I'd lose someone so close, and I know death plays no favorites, we're never immune, but as I sit here and ponder, I hope you are looking down telling me it's going to be okay and your safe now, in a place where fear is never near, pain and suffering disappear, that your making us a place where will all meet together again! I love you Nick, my cousin/brother/counselor /advisor! You carried many titles as you can see but the best one of all as stated so perfectly yesterday, you were the light that filled so many lives, by giving and doing! You were to me perfectly, wonderfully, extraordinary!

    You know nick its been about a week now and your still not here. ive been thinking about you the past few days and about some of the things that you would have said to me and its just not the same. your the second person that I have lost in my life that will dramatically leave a mark. im glad to know that your ok but I still wish that you were here to call me every so often and tell me how proud of me that you were, im going to miss those phone calls that you made to me. you were there for me to hold me and to pick me up when we lost our girl stacy and I will never forget that. if if weren't for you being there that night just sitting with me and holding me telling me that it was going to be ok I would have lost it more. I love you man and no one will ever replace you in my heart or life! I don't think that you realize how many lives you have touched over the course of your life. there were so many people there for you that I haven't seen in years but they came for you because of how amazing you were as a person. I will miss you deeply everyday!!!!!!
