Nicholas (Nick) J. Rosales, beloved brother and son, joined the Lord and his Savior on June 29, 2023. He passed peacefully at the age of 59 surrounded by his family who loved and adored him. He was born on March 12, 1964 in Houston, Texas to Norma Jean and Justino Rosales. Nick was a warm-hearted, free-spirited gentleman who was kind and generous with his time and his knowledge. Nick attended St. Thomas High School until he asked to be switched to public school, Westbury High School, where he made his lifetime friends. Nick attended San Jacinto College and then acquired a landscaping business. He continued his study of plants and flowers and excelled at landscaping and pool design. His interest became motocross racing, attending the Kent Howerton Motocross School. He raced annually at Rio Bravo all the way until recent years. His love for motorcycles switched his path to a career with Harley Davidson. There he found his true love and passion for his work. This passion lead him to be successful in rentals and sales and helping others enjoy the feel of the road. Nick was happiest in the country on a motorcycle with the wind on his back. His hobbies included restoring vintage bikes, racing motocross, grilling Bar-B-Q , shopping vintage, seasonal planting of plants and flowers and riding his Harley.

Nick is preceded in death by his Father, Justino and his brother-in-law, Monte J Thedford. He will be missed dearly by his beautiful Mom, Norma Jean, and sister and brother-in-law, Rosana Rosales and Andrew Olah. Nick’s sensitive heart, wit and storytelling will be missed by his family and friends. He considered Ryan Reyes and his Godchildren, Sebastian and Samantha Humbert as the children he never had.
