Nick Brosky: promising life cut short by auto accident
Nick Brosky was 19 when he died Sunday night from injuries suffered in an auto accident earlier in the day in Fayette County.
Mr. Brosky, of Burlington, was a passenger in a car driven by Jennifer Gauspohl, of Crestview Hills, according to police. Ms. Gauspohl was one of seven people injured in the accident on Interstate 64 in Fayette County.
Mr. Brosky was a freshman at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia and a star basketball player and 1996 graduate of Simon Kenton High School.
He was just beginning to explore his career options when he died at a Lexington hospital Sunday night.
Family members recall Mr. Brosky as being kind and considerate. But perhaps the best way to describe him is to recount some of the words he used to describe himself in a college paper he wrote May 30:
"My name is Nick Brosky. I am artistic and creative and tall and athletic. My mother is the most inspiring person in my life. She made certain that I have had whatever I needed and more than occasionally gave me what I wanted. She is the reason I didn't follow the wrong path in my early years.
"The purpose of religion in my life is to guide me in living a good life. Religion hasn't always been the biggest factor. But no matter how difficult life gets, you have to look no further than God . . .
"I was an overall good kid. I liked nature, in particular fishing and collecting snakes, playing sports and spending time with my brother Danny.
"Like any mischievous kid, I got into trouble with Mom and Pop but never with the law.
"I don't feel that I am clear of what my purpose in life is. What I am certain of is that I must contribute as possible while I'm here on Earth.
"My ultimate goal is to reach Heaven."
Mr. Brosky leaves his parents, Pat and Tony Brosky of Burlington; brothers, Tony Brosky Jr. of Waukesha, Wis., Danny Brosky of Ryland Heights and David Brosky of Burlington; a sister, Shannon Redmon of Columbia; and his grandmother, Alice Carnohan of Latonia.

Henry C. Rose, teacher, principal, farmer
Henry C. "H. C." Rose, 83, of Southgate was a career educator who was tough yet understanding.
He was an award-winning farmer, a loving husband who called his wife beautiful each day of their 59-year marriage, and a father who backed up his children 100 percent.
"When I was 12 years old, I wrecked the family car. He said, "I don't know why you are crying. I'm the one who should be crying.' He didn't scold me, but I knew I wouldn't do it again," said a daughter, Barbara Rose Walter of Englewood, Ohio.
"He loved his children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. And they loved him."
Mr. Rose died Tuesday at his home. He was a retired educator with Campbell County Board of Education and a farmer.
He also was a member of Immanuel Nazarene Church of Highland Heights, the Kentucky Teachers Association, the Kentucky Board of Realtors and the Campbell County Board of Education. He was named a Kentucky Master Pastureman in the 1950s.
Mr. Rose taught in school districts in Wolfe, Campbell and Pendleton counties. He taught in grades from elementary to high school and also spent a number of years as a principal in both elementary and high schools.
Mrs. Walter was a student of her father's when he taught high school in Falmouth.
"I always got an A-minus. He said I could always do better," Mrs. Walter said. "He was an excellent teacher and philosopher.
"As long as we had Dad, we had 100 percent support," Mrs. Walter said. "That doesn't mean he agreed with everything we did. But we knew he would be there for us."
Other survivors include his wife, Opal Rose; a son, Larry Grant Rose of Southgate; daughter, Wilma Rose "Love" Clay of Colorado Springs, Colo., brothers, Bobby Rose of Hazel Green and Billy Rose of Booneville; a sister, Garnet Meinders of Cincinnati; seven grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
