Nik will be dearly missed by his parents Mike and Cindy Rocha, his siblings Christina Lewis (Zachery), Michael Anthony Rocha (Cheyanne), Andrew Rocha (Helen), Alexandria Rocha and Gabriella Rocha, grandparents Hilda Davis, Estevan Rocha and Israel Lozano, his aunts Chris Lozano, Leanna Garcia, Raquel Cilwa (Matt), Uncle Israel Lozano, nephews Josiah, Gannon, Sebastian, Zander and nieces Isabella and Emilia and cousins Jenny, Dustin, Chris, Logan, Alyssa, Gabriel, Anabella, and Carlos.

Nik had a radiant smile that could light up a room, his signature dimple melted many hearts. He loved to joke and play. Nik was a sportsman at heart he loved baseball, wrestling, and playing football. He enjoyed being outdoors with his family going on camping and kayaking trips. Nik enjoyed hunting with his dad and always looked forward to getting a big buck. Nikolaus always had a joke to tell and had a way of cheering anyone up. Nik loved to travel and adventure; he was excited to have gone on the trip of a lifetime with his dad, adventure partner Alexandria and Michael Anthony to visit Alaska in 2019. Nik loved his family and was a protector of his cousins, nieces and nephews.
We will miss your smile and your laughter Nikolaus, until we see you again…
