Nicholas Douglas Ottosen

“Otto”

January 10, 1978 – March 22, 2011

Nick left all of those who love him unexpectedly and peacefully at age 33.  Among the many that will miss him are Nick’s son Colson James, age 6; mother Laurie Sampinos; father Doug Ottosen; and brother Matt Ottosen.

Following his education Nick became an industry benchmark in the automobile finance business throughout Utah and national markets, all by the age of 25.  He was currently hitting his stride to accomplish the same level of achievement in Mortgage Banking.

His passions were; first and foremost his beautiful son, his career, skiing, the San Francisco Giants; BMX and Colson; and enjoying every minute of each day.

In lieu of flowers, friends and family may choose to contribute to the minor account set up for Colson Ottosen at Wells Fargo.

Celebration of Nicholas’ life will be held on Monday, March 28th from 6 to 8 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City.  Private family interment at Mt. Olivet.

Godspeed, Nicholas.

 

 

In Loving Memory

I am terribly sad and sorry for your loss. I worked with Nick and he was an amazing loan officer and person. He made everyone here smile. We are so glad that we were able to spend quality time with him in Hawaii. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I don't know what to say or where to begin! Nick was definitely one of a kind! He was so much fun to be around, and always the life of the party! He left me with so many great memories. He really made a huge impact on my life. I will never forget his wonderful smile, and energetic personality. Not to mention how intelligent he was. I will never forget all the good times we shared. I am so sorry to all the family members. I will pray for you all. But, we will all see Nick again someday. He will never be forgotten. Thanks for all the memories! Rest in Peace Nick.

When I am Gone Author Unknown "When I am gone, release me. Let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, You'll hear all my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say welcome home..." Dearest Laurie & Matt, my heart grieves so much. Please know you are in my thoughts and know that you are all loved. Bon voyage Nick

Bon Voyage to my beautiful first grandson Nicholas and all the memories we have of you at fieldbrook. My one consolation is that your grandfather Jim was there to greet you, hold you in his arms and welcome you home. You are so deeply loved and we are so proud of you.

Doug, We are saddened to hear of Nick's passing. We will remember gathering with your young sons on Christmas Eve with fondness. As our Aunt Marie lamented after her son, Michael, passed away, "No parent should have to experience the loss of a child." We hope that you and Nick's extended family will find peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love, John and Jenny Sadler Willard and Maxine Nelson
