Christopher John Nichols
November 16, 1974 -November 21, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Chris. A beloved son, brother, father, uncle, and friend, Chris lived a life defined by love, strength, and unwavering support for those around him. Chris found joy in the simple, meaningful things in life. He dedicated much time to coaching football and thoroughly enjoyed cheering on his favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings. His passion for the game was matched only by his love for the outdoors, where he cherished early mornings in the duck blind with his sons, spending time near water, or sharing a moment with friends grilling or having a bonfire. Though he is gone from this earth, the legacy of Chris' love and strength will live on in the countless lives he touched.

Christopher is survived by his son Collin (Sydney) Nichols, son Chase (Sophia Martin) Nichols, mother Dawn Wilson, Father John (Cindy) Nichols, sister Danielle (Brian Wagster) Nichols, brother Benjamin Nichols, brother Nicholas (Bridget) Wilson, brother Matthew Wilson, brother Jarrod (Tina) Morris, brother Mike Morris and brother Matthew Nichols. Uncle to Desiree and Chloee Rudolph, Natalie, Alison, Taylor Wagster, Bradyn Wilson, and Roman Wilson. He will be remembered with love by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
