Patrick Thomas Nichols

Pat was a beloved husband, brother, father and friend passed away on November 5, 2025 in Augusta, Georgia. He was born on October 16, 1950, in Midland, Michigan.

Pat started working on his grandpas farm early as a young man and continued that hard work ethic through out his life. Pat started his travels with Bechtel which took him across country several times. His career spanned over 34+ years with Bechtel then with Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, after completing his degree at Delta College in Midland, MI. Beyond his professional life, Pat was an avid outdoorsman, spending time hunting, gardening, grilling, and feeding the birds and unintentionally the squirrels. He had a wonderful eye for creating beautiful picture frames and furniture. His happy place was Cancun Mexico! 

Pat was a quite loving husband of 25 years to Debra (Puckett) Nichols, plus seven bonus years! He was the proud father to his son Jake, who he instilled the values of hard work and mastering the grill. There is a special bond between Pat and his sister Judy Pratt (husband Jeff). Judy and Pat shared a lifetime of experiences and joyful memories as the R.A.Rangers (childhood group nickname). This group also included cousin and next door neighbor Kyle Teachworth, also from Midland, MI.

Pat is preceded in death by his parents Robert Nichols and Ruth (Bryan) Nichols. Pat will be leaving many cousins, nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. Although we have a small family Pat enjoyed cook for everyone on Thanksgiving and other occasions.

In lieu of Flowers, the family asks for donation to be made to the Children’s Hospital of Georgia.

There will be a drop in memorial from 3pm to 7pm on Saturday the 15th at the Nichols residence 510 Waterford Drive in Evans.
