Micheal Wayne Nichols, 51, passed away peacefully at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Collierville, TN on Friday, January 12, 2018.
Born July 19, 1966, he was the son of Thomas Wayne Nichols of Vardaman, and Linda Phillips Wilson of Big Creek. Micheal was a graduate of Vardaman High School with the great Class of 1984. He lettered in all three sports, but especially loved the football team. He was a relentless competitor, and always gave 100%. Micheal had the keen ability to listen and learn. His family often wondered how he was a straight ‘A’ student, but never brought a book home from school. Micheal spent time seeing the country while driving a truck, but farming was instilled in his soul by his father Thomas Wayne. He dearly loved his family, and did whatever he could to always protect them. He especially loved his dog and best pal, Taco. Micheal never met a stranger, and he had a good heart and enjoyed making people laugh. Micheal leaves behind many memories, almost all of them with his bright smile shining through. He had a great spirit and he will be deeply missed by his friends and loved ones, but his memory will be cherished forever in their hearts.
