So very sad to hear of the passing of Nolan. He was such a big personality and had such a big heart! He leaves a big and unfillable void in the BC Class of 2004 alumni rolls. Not only was be beloved member of our class, but he volunteered his time and talent as the yearbook editor. Flipping back through it now reminds me of Nolan's humor and the many good times we all had together at BC. May God grant him eternal rest! He will be missed dearly.

Nolan was truly one of the brightest smiles I remember at "Ye Olde BSS." I was (and still am) admirable of his fearless energy and willingness to put himself out there into the spotlight (Peter Pan, Best Christmas Pageant Ever, etc.). Praying for the Mell, Coppage, Russo families, his husband Damon, and countless others will who miss his light. May his memory live on in the hearts of those (so many!) who loved him.
