Nick would wear his signature bow ties at the lottery events.
The 26-year-old was born with neurofibromatosis, a condition that causes tumors to form in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Gilbert underwent multiple surgeries in the last year or so and was hospitalized for a month.
In October, the Cavs announced that they were dedicating their season to Nick to raise awareness and money for neurofibromatosis.
