Ted Nicholas passed away on October 22, 2019 at the Salt Lake City Veteran’s Hospital after a year long treatment for Glioblastoma.

He was born December 20, 1965 in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, the sixth child of Roger and Earline (Albright) Nicholas. Ted was a charming little boy with a sunny smile.

The family moved to Rapid City and then to Gillette, Wyoming. His parents divorced and Roger married Linda (Thomas) who raised Ted from the age of 5 years old. The family settled in Sheridan, Wyoming where Ted started school at Coffeen Elementary. He was a big fan of comic books and had a large collection of super hero stories. After High School in Sheridan, he enlisted in the Army, and trained as a diesel mechanic. He was stationed in Germany and enjoyed touring in Europe.

He attended Vo-Tech school in Phoenix, AZ. Ted loved the Big Horn Mountains, and had many adventures camping, fishing, and snowboarding. He adored the family pets throughout his life, especially his dog, Dill.

He is survived by his brother, Roger “Rocky” Nicholas (Skyla); sisters Cynthia Heigold (Fred), Mary Jane Miller and Rose Marie Reeves; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at the SLC Veteran’s Hospital Hospice who provided his care during his last months. He will be laid to rest at the Sheridan Municipal Cemetery.
