This is so very sad – as a student in my class I used to call him the ‘gentle giant’. He was always very respectful and observant with a twinkle in his eye. My heart aches for his family.
At a lost for words. I had the pleasure of working with this young man every summer when he returned home. He was definitely what one would call a Gentle Giant so humble and down to earth. Kathy my heart goes out to you and your family on this terrible lost of your only child. Stay close to god he will see you threw.
Such sad news. My heart hurts. Condolences to his family and friends. I hope the other young man makes a full recovery.
Condolences to the family. Prayers of the surviving young man. God, Please heal.
I’m so saddened to hear of this terrible news this morning. I had the pleasure of teaching Nikko. He was such a gentle spirit and worked hard. He loved his mother dearly and she was so proud of his accomplishments! Kathy I’m so sorry this has happened. I will continue to pray for you and your family!
My prayers to you Kathy and your whole family. May you find peace knowing the love your son bought to many..

Still don’t believe it rip and stay strong my boys since high school. tech lab wish i could be there to support you guys. You have my deepest sympathies.
Who are these people that “dislike” a comment of condolence??
I don’t understand. The basic statements of condolences are disliked! My condolences are sent to the Woodley family who are grieving at this time! It will be difficult for a while but remember time heals all wounds and there is a God who will carry you through this stressful time!
@ Honestly…yeah i was pondering the same thing…smh
@ Honestly – I was just sitting here thinking the same thing to myself about the ‘dislikes’ (sigh). Anyway, I didn’t know who this young man was but my sincere condolences to this family. I am the Mother of an only child (11 year old son) and I can only imagine the pain and hurt you are enduring at this time. Please know that although that pain will never go away, time does have a way with the healing process. My thoughts and prayers are with this family.
My condolences to the Robinson-Woodley Family during this time.
I have noticed that most of the comments that are ‘disliked’ have either spelling or grammatical errors, make reference to God, or reference his character. This is neither the time nor the forum to ‘dislike’ anything, especially since people are sending in tributes for the family to read. We don’t know how this tragedy has affected the people who have posted here and we shouldn’t distract from the sentiments they are conveying.
Terrible news. It also adds another caution as all this time my main concern was keeping the kids from riding papillon on others’ bikes. I was less worried about cars. But it seems the same attention needs to be given to them as well.
People, please slow down. It’s just Bermuda. There is nowhere to go that fast.
Ride
This is so heartbreaking, my condolences to the family and friends.
Bermuda please put something in place to prevent further loss of our young people.
I’m pretty angry that after all this time, road safety for our young people appears to be at an all time low. I would like to know why the driver lost control so that in future something like this can be prevented.
My sincere condolences to the Robinson-Woodley Family during this time.
My sincere condolences to the robinson-woodley family durning this sad time kathy-larrey you are in my thoughts and prayers.RIP NIKKO
