Christopher 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 of his 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.
