In Loving Memory of David Shane Nichols
August 12, 1985 – April 14, 2025
Houston, Texas
With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of David Shane Nichols, who departed this life on April 14, 2025, at the age of 39. A beloved son, sibling, friend, and inspiration to many, David’s sudden departure has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, David lived with compassion, creativity, and a gentle spirit that radiated warmth wherever he went. He had a natural way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued — a rare gift that defined his relationships and drew others to him.
David will be remembered most for his kindness, his easy sense of humor, and his ability to find light even in the darkest moments. He had a deep appreciation for music, nature, and the quiet joys of everyday life. Whether he was spending time with family, helping a friend in need, or simply enjoying a quiet evening, David lived in a way that was authentic, generous, and full of heart.
He is survived by his loving family and a wide circle of dear friends and colleagues who mourn his loss and hold tightly to the many beautiful memories they shared with him. Though gone far too soon, the impact of David’s life will live on — in stories told, in acts of kindness inspired by his example, and in the enduring love of those he left behind.
A private memorial service will be held to honor David’s life, and details will be shared directly with family and close friends. The Nichols family extends their sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this profoundly difficult time.
As we remember David, let us celebrate the joy he brought into our lives and strive to carry forward the compassion, laughter, and love that he so freely gave.
“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
