Kirk Nichols, a devoted husband, father, and steady presence in Marietta, Georgia, died unexpectedly on December 3, 2025. His sudden passing has left family, friends, and neighbors mourning a man known for quiet strength, warm humor, and an unfailing optimism that brightened everyday moments.
At the center of Kirk’s life was his family. Married to Lori for more than two decades, he took pride in being a hands‑on father to James and Kate—coaching Little League, hosting game nights, and making ordinary evenings feel special with stories and laughter that bridged generations.
He was a respected project manager in the construction industry, overseeing commercial projects across Cobb County. Colleagues remember him for meticulous planning, clear communication, and an ability to bring teams together to finish work on time and to a high standard.
Outside work, Kirk lived actively and simply: early runs along the Chattahoochee River, weekend hikes at Kennesaw Mountain, and quiet nights grilling in the backyard. He was an avid reader of history, a skilled woodworker who crafted furniture for local fundraisers, and a regular volunteer at area food banks—small acts that reflected a life lived in service to others.
The Nichols family has expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of support from the Marietta community. A fundraiser has been established to help with funeral expenses and to create scholarships in Kirk’s name, ensuring that his legacy of kindness and generosity will continue to benefit others.
