Celebrate Nicole Emma Starr's Life and Legacy

Hi, my name is Julian Gavino & I’m seeking any & all forms of help… I guess there really isn’t a right or wrong way to get this out. So please bear with me, this is going to be hard. As any thoughts I’ve been having are either super short or jumbled...

After years of self-isolation & many hardships, my fiancé Nicole Emma Starr lost her battle with herself. That day will forever be in my heart & mind. It was August 29, 2024. But that isn’t who she was… Nicole stood at 5ft, short but very tall in every aspect of her life. A glowing smile & addictive personality, she knew how to walk into a room and attract everyone. With hazel eyes, you could see the beauty that was her soul. She was filled with so much love and gave so much too. A perfectionist & artist, this girl could make anything & do anything. Her size did not hold her back from getting things done. A will made of iron & perseverance of gold, Nicole achieved being a hygienist all on her own. As an only child with no family, Nicole found love & support through music & her friends. She maintained relationships with everyone, making sure they were good. I always wondered how she would be able to talk to a complete stranger for hours and come back with their whole story. She had the ability to draw out love from anyone… I would know. A water child & spelunker, Nicole found peace in the water & adventures in caves. A world traveler & adventure seeker, we found ourselves in different countries trying to navigate their culture & lives. Curious & spontaneous, no itinerary or clock could ever make Nicole on time or be where she was supposed to be. She moved to the beat of her own drum and the guidance of her own song… if you knew her, this isn’t scratching the surface of her bigger-than-life personality… and there isn’t enough space here to even begin.

Unfortunately, as we all know, life sometimes becomes a heavy burden that we need a break from. My fiancé didn’t ever have a break from life. I’d joke with her about how she had the worst luck in the world, but she was lucky enough to find someone that had all the luck in the world… foolishly thinking my luck was enough for the both of us. We shared a life together that was meant to be eternal & forever. And now it is…

I want to take her to the Atlantic Ocean and spread her ashes as she’s always longed to be back in the ocean. It gave her peace and serenity & I know that’s where she found the most comfort...

I’m seeking aid in any way as I want to give everyone a proper chance to say goodbye to her. I want her to know how much she was loved and that she was never alone even if in her last moments she was… she never really was. I am aiming for a service & celebration of life with everyone who she’s ever touched so she can see how much she was loved.

Mi amore, continue to give me strength as I make this in your honor. You deserve the world and I will continue to give you the world with every aspect of my being. I love you, we love you. Please help me give the proper send-off she deserves. Filled with love and happiness like the way she should be remembered. Thank you.
