We were honored to help the Bassett family with Nick's monument.

Nick was a inspiration to many.

Nick Bassett spent his entire life inspiring and giving to others. Even in the final moments of it.

Nick took the honor walk to donate his organs on January 27. He passed away at the age of 29 with his mother Ann, father Vick, and loving sister, Heather, his biggest supporter, with him.

Nick even inspired Iowa State football coach Matt Campbell, who invited him to practice and had him speak to the team. Nick was featured in The Des Moines Register and on ESPN's "College GameDay."

He funeral was so big that they had to have the service in the Sukup End Zone club at Jack Trice stadium. Something that Nick would have loved.

One year ago today. Four great friends in the funeral business began helping my whole entire family start the grieving process. From Greg Jenness and his wonderfull wife coming to make the removal even though he was banged up at the time Timothy R. Grandon and Aaron Schroeder for making the drive all the way to Spirit Lake in record time and taking the time to make my dad look like my dad again. Then helping us with a special visitation at the Marathon school. Finally handing it off to the closer Bill Armstrong who did a wonderful job in my parents home town of Diagonal and laying him to rest on the hill

The support from my funeral brothers and sisters was amazing.

Everyday these guys and countless others I call friends make sacrifices with their own families to help other families thru painful times.

The Dukes family can't thank you enough

God Bless
