Larry Clint Nichols. Sr.

After a courageous fight, the Lord said, “let him rest”. On Sunday April 3rd, 2022, Larry Clint “Fluffy” Nichols Sr. was called home.

Larry was born on November 13, 1962 to the late Leonard W Nichols and Mildred R Nichols. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister Wanda Nichols, father in law James Sexton, and his honorary son Shane Key.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Big Island Rescue Squad, a Leukemia organization of your choice, or Hunters for the Hungry.

At this time, the family would like to thank Dr Kevin Patel, Dr Diane Rowell, and Dr Adam Shimer for their care over the past years and months.
