Special Episode: Nick V. (In Memoriam)

It is with a heavy heart that I need to communicate this to fans of the show. On October 22, 2017, we received the news that our fellow nerd, Nick Vee, had passed away. A couple of his friends decided to get together and give our last loving memories of our brother.

Nerds from the Crypt

Nick Vee was a founding member of Nerds from the Crypt. I was a guest on Saturday Morning Nerds, a podcast he was a co-host on with Jake Lionhart. It was on that show, that I invited him to do a review of Hulu’s 11/22/63.

It was during that review, that we decided to make a podcast reviewing all of Stephen King’s adaptations. However, after the first episode (Creepshow) we decided that we wanted to open it up to all types of horror.

Nick became a spiritual brother to all he came in contact with. When we heard of his passing, we immediately worked on getting a memorial recorded for him. Jake, worked on an intro song with audio from our long lost intro episode.

Legacy

Nick was always there to make sure the podcast was fun. He was there when I was about to shut down the podcast, and made sure that I didn’t get discouraged.

I will continue to work on the podcast, in hopes that he would be proud of what we started. When we heard of his passing, Jake, Chele, and I asked if there was a way to get something sent out for him for his funeral. She was kind enough to do so. I also asked Kim, to provide us with several pictures of him. You can see those in the gallery below.
