The Bakersfield Californian 
Nicholas Slayton
Nov. 11, 1958 Sept. 14, 2004

Nick was born in Watsonville, California, He spent his childhood in Coalinga, 
moving to Bakersfield in 1973 where he attended North High School. Nick 
remained in Bakersfield until 1982 when he moved to Clear Lake, California, to 
work for the Northern California Power Agency. He spent the majority of his 
adult life fishing, hiking, hunting, biking, sailing his boat, and camping. 
Nick was a gifted and talented guitar player and making music was his passion. 

Nick lived his life doing what he enjoyed most living an unencumbered, simple 
life. In doing so , he touched the lives of many people who loved him very 
much. Nick returned home to Bakersfield to spend his final days on earth with 
his family. Nick lost his battle with cancer on September 14, 2004 surrounded 
by family. He fought this terrible disease until the very end. Although Nick 
is gone and will be missed deeply, his incredible faith in God assures us we 
will see him again.

Nick is survived by his father and step-mother, Kay and Kalyn Slayton; his 
mother and step-father, Jean and Loren Storni; his brothers, Chris and Jeff 
Slayton and sister-in-law, Lynette; his niece and nephews, Shelby, Tyler,

best friend, Dottie.

The family wishes to extend special thanks to Dr. Charles Tam for his 
compassion and friendship, to Capi Sommer for the help above and beyond and to 
Sharon Hicks of Optimal Hospice, who filled Nicks last days with trust and 
tender loving care.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in his memory to Optimal Hospice
