Holsten, from Leesburg, was a father of one son and an uncle.
'Nick was known for his adventurous spirit and his sense of humor that always had everyone laughing,' his obituary reads.
'He will be remembered for his silly personality, outrageous jokes, and his true love for drawing.
'Nick enjoyed making special drawings for those he loved. Nick loved music, he often would be wearing earbuds and listening to his favorite songs.
