Hello everyone. I wanted to provide an update on Nick Underwood who was a great friend to many of you and myself. Nick tested in 2015 for black belt followed by his kids, Quinn Teddlie and Caden Underwood, in 2016. Additionally, his younger son, Linus, got to blue belt and I was even able to con his wife, Jaime, into a few classes. I'm hoping to reach as many of you who knew him as possible. He helped teach classes for several years and was amazing with the kids. On December 17, he passed away. Myself and many of you have lost a truly great friend. My heart hurts for his family as he was that piece that makes something whole. If you knew Nick even for a little bit, you understand what I'm saying.
This Sunday, there is a “get together” at the Trinity Baptist Church’s gym in Sherman at 2:00 p.m. It is not a traditional funeral event. I think the intent is to keep it light, positive, and as happy as possible as that is basically the nature of Nick.
I will be there and wanted to let you know if case you wanted to swing by. Feel free to email me or text/call me at 903.893.0007 if you have questions or need anything.
