Nichols, Kenneth S. 65, of Richland, FL passed away Saturday, January 11, 2025. He was the son of Wilbur Kenneth (WK) & Gwendolyn Celeste Nichols, born February 7, 1959, in Dade City, FL. He was a lifelong area resident and member of the Cornerstone Community Church in Richland (formerly known as Richland Assembly of God), where he could be found playing the tambourine with the band. He started his career at the Publix Super Market in Zephyrhills and worked his way up to the Publix Warehouse in Lakeland before his retirement. He devoted his entire life to serving God and demonstrated this devotion by generously sharing his love and compassion with those around him through countless acts of service that touched many lives in the community.
