The Language of Us
Doris Falidis-Nickolas’ poetry beautifully captures love, loss, and remembrance, offering comfort to those navigating grief.
It is with overwhelming sadness that we say farewell to our beautiful son (brother & uncle to three) Nicolas Horst Koch aged 44 who passed away in Sydney, Australia at 7pm on 18 August 2021.
Nicolas will come home to Canberra to be laid to rest at St Francis Natural Burial Fields.
Nicolas has been very ill with paranoid schizophrenia for many years (diagnosed by Professor Scott Henderson, Canberra, at aged 21).
Nicolas has struggled in his own brave way.
Nicolas attended the Canberra Boys Grammar School in Canberra ACT - a talented student, musician, gymnast, horse rider, skier and a wonderful son.
An enormous heart with a great sense of humour.
His mother - Rosemary Howe, Bannister NSW 2580 (partner Charles Edward Barber, Bannister NSW 2580)
His father - Horst Helmut Jurgen Koch, Sydney NSW 2000
His sister - Desiree Marta Koch-Ryan
Her husband - Joshua Ryan
And his nieces and nephew.
The Howe family, Western Australia
and the many relatives in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
