Michael “Mike†Nichol, Age 73, passed away on Sunday, March 22,2026, at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont, Texas.
He was born on July 14, 1953, in Silsbee, Texas, to James William and Allie Belle Nichol.
Mike is lovingly remembered by his wife, Sharon of Colmesneil; his children, Jeremy and Jessica Zelbst of San Antonio, Texas, Jerry and Rachel Aguirre of Greeley, Colorado, and Mike and Kortney Nichol of Silsbee, Texas.
He was a proud grandfather to Riley, Rani, Hudson, Tripp, Maddie, and Kashton - his grandbabies, who brought him endless joy. He would have given anything to hug and kiss them one more time.
Mike was a man who believed in hard work, in showing up for his family, and making memories that would last a lifetime. He took his family all over the world, making memories and teaching them the value of hard work, something they’ll cherish forever.
He will be remembered for his famous stories - stories so good you never quite knew if they were true or not until you heard the punchline. He had a way of making people laugh, even in the hardest moments. If his lifelong career in pipe and engineering hadn’t worked out, there’s no doubt he could have made it as a comedian.
He leaves behind a lifetime of laughter, lessons, and love that will carry on through everyone that knew him.
A viewing will be held Thursday, March 26 from 5 to 9 PM at pace funeral home in Livingston Texas.
Funeral services will take place on Friday, March 27 at 2 PM at pace funeral home followed by a graveside service at Bluewater Cemetery in Livingston, Texas.
