RIP Nick Hoffman...

[scd88ga]

Some of you that have been involved in the Beretta scene for many years may remember Nick from BStuff. I believe his username may have been something like pimpazz_beretta..

Nick was fatally shot by one of his friends late last night and passed away from his injuries about 8 hours ago. The shooting was said to be an accident. He was a friend of mine and 95b_rettagrrl (Erin Cekosh) and he was a fellow Wisconsin Rapids, WI resident..

Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. Nick, you will be greatly missed!

RIP Beretta Bro...

He was a really nice guy. He was honest, caring, funny, and a great personality. Creative and technically capable. He really matured and got a good job after his most infamous incident. Getting away from the police in a Quad 4 powered GTZ. Other than that he never did anyone wrong. He was a car guy, a friend and someone I would invite to my home at any time.
I personally met him in 2000 the first time when he sold me the door panels that are on my GTZ. He came out to a few of the gatherings in Chicago over the years. Pimpazzberetta will be missed!

That's sad man.

I hate seeing people taken from their families and friends, and especially from something as preventable as a negligent discharge.

Sorry to hear this. I did not know him personally, but R.I.P. Nick.

I am familiar with his posts on bstuff. This is tragic. My thoughts go out to his family.

Ive only gotten to hang out with Nick at a handfull of gatherings but he was always just a cool guy. Nice, easy going and up for anything at our meets. And he had some crazy stories.
R.I.P. Pimpazz

What a tragic loss of someone well before their time...

My heart goes out to the family... Christmas time will never again be the same for them.

Please see my post regarding donations if you or someone you know would be interested.

I can definitely relate to Christmas never being the same. My wife's father passed of cancer last Saturday.

Wow....that is just something you never expect to hear. I remember his posts from bstuff and even though I didn't know him personally, I knew him from the board and knew of him. I can't imagine what his family is going through. RIP bud.
