Nicholas D in tha house a 24-year-old blogger died in a car accident Monday Oct. 24.
D in tha house was a journalism student at Metropolitan State College of Denver who could be found sneaking away from his full time work schedule and full time college load on various campus computers updating his blog site. “He felt a lot of pressure from family and work but he would voice all of his frustration into his blogs,” said his girlfriend Haaland.
As a Denver resident he would commute 50 miles daily to work in the revenue accounting department at the Airline he worked for. It was during his 6 a.m. commute that a semi-truck driver fell asleep at the wheel crashed into D in tha house’s gold Pontiac Grand Am which he had affectionately named Buddha. “He loved that car and named it as such because of his interest in eastern philosophy,” said his sister Panther D.
D in tha house who spent 40 hours a week working in accounting carried over his knack for creative writing into his career. His manager Bill F said, “If there was some new policy in our office that Nick disagreed with you could expect a three page essay to be submitted to management and revisions of the policy where sure to follow.”
D in tha house who had an easy-going personality and unique sense of style often wore his black hair adorned with a cowlick. “I don’t think he owned a pair of normal pants,” his co-worker Kelly B said. “He would always come to work sporting polyester pants and the most obscure argyle socks.” Another worker Donna P also said, “People would tease him about his clothes but he would only retaliate with a joke and a warm smile. He was a pleasure to work with.”
D in tha house who was born Jan. 1, 1981 into a middle class family was the oldest of three siblings and brought stability to his family. At 5-foot 9-inches he was not a big man but his contribution to his family were huge according his mother Christen H-C. She said, “Nick had a passion for music and writing. He was always striving for a better life with the intent that he could help his family.”
A celebration of his life was held Wednesday at the Airline’s Center One with his family and co-workers. People gathered to listen to his girlfriend recite some her favorite writings of his.
In addition to his mother and sister Panther, D in tha house is survived by his father Gordon; his stepfather Randy; his sister Roxann; and his brother Kyle.
