Nicholas Glasco

Age 18

Stone Mountain, Georgia

He would’ve turned 19 next week

He would have turned 19 the following week. That was something he was looking forward to. His next milestone was his May graduation from Redan High School.

His former English teacher wrote that he “always had a great sense of humor and a wonderful smile. He was respectful and a gentleman. I will have thousands of students in my lifetime, but I will never forget [him] and what a sweet person he was.”

Nicholas Glasco, 18, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, died after a close friend accidently shot him on April 14, 2018.
