It’s still hard to believe that you’re actually gone, It seems like literally yesterday that we were chatting and playing Tanks. You were a true friend to many, and an inspiration to even more. Though your spirit will live on through all of those you touched, including I.

I hope you’re finally afforded the rest you so rightfully deserve, and I pray that your family and close friends are able to trod with their heads held high through these tumultuous times. I’ll see you at Zion’s gates once I arrive myself, you better keep them open for me Big man.

My deepest condolences to all Nick’s family and friends. Nick was one of the best I have ever seen in all years my life to entertain. Almost 4 years ago I first stumbled upon Music Biz Marty and I immediately thought of Andy Kaufman. I have consumed so much media and books yet I have never come across anyone like Nick. Closest was Kaufman and even then, he was better than Andy. I miss him every day. They broke the mold when Nick was born. Not a day will go by that I will not think of Nick. Not one single day. Pure genius. My favorite moment will always be…..”It’s going in the Patreon boys!!!” Godspeed Nick🙏

Nick was truly one of the funniest and kindest souls I ever got the privilege of meeting online. I have listened to his voice so much while gaming, driving, getting ready for bed, doing chores around the house etc…. He has become part of my daily life; when I needed a laugh or a thought provoking lesson I could count on Nick to be there to deliver a message that I could respect and resonate with. I can relate to Nick more then I care to admit, his struggles are no joke and hearing of his passing has brought me immense sadness. On the few chances I got to speak with him he always made me feel appreciated and welcome in the community he built online. To his family, I want you to know how special and respected Nick was. To me and many others he was not only an A+ entertainer, he was a righteous beacon of morality. He stared the darkness of this world in the face and laughed at it. He brought accountability to those who escaped it and that is a rare thing to do in this day and age. Nick is going to be missed by many and will be remembered by 1000s as a goofy, entertaining, likeable and charismatic guy. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. Rest in peace Marty.

This however turned into bitter reality moments later.I just can’t believe that you aren’t around anymore and we can’t share all the fun stories, pranks, thoughts on YouTube. I always looked forward to your next upload. My heart goes out to the entire family of Marty, expressing my utmost condolences. Marty also had a big family on the Internet and we will share your grief over his loss. Marty you will never be forgotten as a part of you will continue to live on in the hearts of his internet friends also.

Many times I wanted to go back to the needle but watching your videos helped me stay on the straight and narrow. You were the best at what you did and we will keep your memories alive!

I happened to find Nicholas YT channel many years ago. His character, Music Biz Marty, instantly captured my attention. He was so soft spoken, intelligent, witty, and had a laugh that sounded like it came up from his toes. Oh, those late night streams, listening and chatting with others, and with Nick, made my day. His love of animals was how we initially connected after I mentioned that I was in Akron. We chatted often, and his intelligence and caring nature was so evident. The universe called him so that he may shine ever so brightly on a darkened night. I offer my condolences to the Beigler family and friends. He will be sorely missed. It was a true honour to have known the King.

I watched Nick on YouTube for about four years. He never knew I was watching because I never really participated in the chats. Other than to thank me for donations, I don’t think we ever said more than two words to each other… but yet, Nick(Music Biz Marty) was so much a part of my life. He felt like one of my mischievous brothers. His laughter was absolutely contagious. He brought so many of us from around the world together. So many of us were going through difficult personal issues while listening to Nick’s livestreams in the background. His boisterous laughter and cheeky humor were great comfort to my family and I while we went through several miscarriages. We wish he could know the impact he had on countless souls. We know that Nick’s memory, his kindness, and his generosity will never be forgotten. We pray that God can bring comfort to his family, friends, and all of us who love him.

He was a vigilante, and a good one at that, where others would turn a blind eye, he wouldnt. Marty was a man of principle, he was respectable, he was kind, empathetic, and humble. He is what we should all strive to be in life. My condolences go out to his friends and family, he was a great man.

Though I usually prefer to leave guest book entries for family members and close friends, I could not in good faith not say a few words about Nick. We never met personally, but he was one of the most clever, comedic, and kind individuals I’ve ever had the genuine honor of listening to for the past almost decade. I sincerely hope that I am not being disrespectful by leaving my note in this space, but to the Beigler family, I am sending you all my deepest condolences. Nick and his livestreams have been a constant in my life for quite a while – a source of joy, comfort, humor, and at times inspiration – and though I would not dare to say that I feel the same depth of pain as his family, he has certainly left a void for myself and thousands of others across the world that will surely never be filled. I wish you all the best during these difficult times, and though I myself am not religious, there will always be a very special place in my heart for Nick and the Beigler family. Please take care of yourselves, and if for whatever reason any of you needs someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at the email I provided in this form. Thanks for all the memories, legend.

For us that knew Nick more as Marty, it’s hard enough to imagine someone so effortlessly funny, and with such a staunch sense of what is right and wrong, is gone seemingly overnight, and that’s sad enough, and we only knew him from afar, from his videos etc,
So my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, that knew this awesome human being in person, as losing someone with such solid values and beliefs, but always with a huge dose of humour, must be a massive void to have to try and fill and I wish peace to you all,

Rest in Peace to the TRUE King of Akron

There were many times in which I would look forward to the videos that Mr. Biegler had made. Nicolas was able to bring together many people and spread humor and joy to those who needed it. His efforts to shed light on those who wished to do wrong in the darkness earned himself both respect and admiration from thousands of us who looked to him. While he has passed on and entered a land of eternal peace, I know for a fact that I am not alone when I say that he will always hold a special and fond place in our hearts. God Bless.

Nick (Marty), you couldn’t have possibly known how much you made me smile and laugh, and how much I really loved to watch and listen to your streams. Some of my darkest days were turned around into laughter and smiles whenever I turned your streams on. You had an incredible intelligence, and a mesmerizing way of relating to others. I really have cried alot since I learned of your passing. You had such a great impact on my life. Your impact on others is undeniable. You’re the king! Forever and always, you will remain the king! I want to say that the sound of your laughter was one of the greatest healing experiences I’ve ever discovered that could bring me up out of an episode of depression or anxiety. Nothing else could make me feel joy again quite like the sound of your laughter. The sound of your voice will honestly be forever embedded into my heart with great admiration and love. I love you Marty! I will always smile and feel that love and admiration every single time I get the chance to hear your voice and your laughter! I respect you and understand you and I just wish I could have told you somehow how much I loved your work and your amazing sense of humor!

My girlfriend and I never laughed so hard, you were such a good entertainer and no one will ever do it the way you did, you will forever be a legend, I’ll never forget times like playing connect 4 with you on stream and you whooping my butt, you truly were a master at connect 4 and stratego, or finding someone that has a love of the ernest movies as much as me lol. Ive never shed tears for the passing of someone who I never met and was just a fan of, until today. Hearing the news today I legitimately felt like a long time friend has passed, you really filled the lives of others with laughter like no other, and again, there will never be someone like you.

He’d never admit this but he brought a lot of people together and created a community. Nick, or Marty, was a natural entertainer and comedian, it was near impossible to look away from whatever he was up to, and completely impossible to not laugh at his shenanigans. It now feels impossible that he’s gone. My heart and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

From all over the world, we met in one place, with the sole purpose of listening to Nick and his infectious laugh. He was a genius that had an ability to get people of all ages, races, and religions together for a few hours, chatting it up and laughing with one another, like we all knew eachother for years.

I wish that we could talk about it
But there, that’s the problem
With someone new I couldn’t start it
Too late, for beginnings
The little things that made me nervous
Are gone, in a moment
I miss the way we used to argue
Locked, in your basement
I wake up and the phone is ringing
Surprised, as it’s early
And that should be the perfect warning
That something’s a problem
To tell the truth I saw it coming
The way you were breathing
But nothing can prepare you for it
The voice on the other end
The worst is all the lovely weather
I’m stunned, it’s not raining
The coffee isn’t even bitter
Because, what’s the difference?
There’s all the work that needs to be done
It’s late, for revision
There’s all the time and all the planning
And songs, to be finished
And it keeps coming
And it keeps coming
And it keeps coming
Till the day it stops

When someone great is gone… when someone great is gone…. when someone great is gone….

We’re safe, for the moment
Saved for the moment.

Rest easy King. I love you brother.
