Terry was born in North Platte, Nebraska on August 25, 1945 to Howard and Georgene Nichols, joining his three older brothers, Charles, Kirk, and David Nichols. He grew up in North Platte, and graduated from North Platte High School.
He served in the Army Reserves.
Terry moved to Colorado as a young adult for employment opportunities.
He married Bonnie (Daniels) Nichols on September 24, 1974, in Boulder, Colorado. They later moved to Greeley to raise their family. He attended Greeley Wesleyan Church.
Terry’s career in office equipment spanned forty years, of which many were as owner of Nichols Business Machines Sales and Service. He also worked for Sears, Hugh M. Woods, Walmart, Home Depot and R.R. Donnelley.
One of his greatest joys was the many years he spent as a Santa’s Helper at Christmas time. He loved auctions, garage sales, collecting clocks and trains, and spending time in Florida. He was an extremely sociable person and loved talking to just about anyone about anything – especially about his children and granddaughters! He will be missed by many.
Terry was preceded in death by his parents and his brother David, and his sister-in-law, Mary Nichols.
Terry is survived by his wife Bonnie; daughter, Mindy (Rodney) Marshall, granddaughter, Eleanor Marshall, Kersey; son Christopher (Amber) Nichols, granddaughters Bergen Gallegos, Cooper Gallegos and Rachael Nichols, Greeley; daughter, Marcy (Colin) McWhorter, granddaughters, Abigail, Emily, Isabelle, and Samantha McWhorter, Orlando, FL; and son Mark (Majel) Nichols, granddaughters Lily and Ivy Nichols, Arvada.
