On December 3, 2025, the Marietta, Georgia community was saddened by the unexpected passing of Kirk Nichols. Known for his warm heart, quiet strength, and deep commitment to his family and community, Kirk’s sudden departure has left family, friends, and neighbors reflecting on a life lived with purpose, generosity, and love.
A devoted family man, Kirk shared over two decades of marriage with his wife, Lori, and was a proud and present father to their children, James and Kate. He found joy in the simple moments—coaching Little League, hosting family game nights, and creating a home filled with laughter and encouragement.
Professionally, Kirk built a respected career as a project manager in the construction industry. Known for his integrity, clear communication, and collaborative leadership, he was instrumental in completing commercial projects across Cobb County, earning the trust and admiration of colleagues and clients alike.
In his personal time, Kirk embraced an active lifestyle, enjoying early morning runs along the Chattahoochee River and weekend hikes at Kennesaw Mountain. He was an avid reader, a skilled woodworker who crafted furniture for local fundraisers, and a quiet volunteer who gave his time to food banks and community causes without seeking recognition.
As his family navigates this difficult loss, they are grateful for the outpouring of support from the Marietta community. A dedicated fundraiser has been established to assist with expenses, and plans are underway to create a scholarship in Kirk’s name—honoring his lifelong belief in kindness, education, and giving back.
Rest in peace, Kirk. Your steady presence, generous spirit, and loving legacy will be deeply missed and forever remembered in Marietta.
