Michael D. Nichols
of Mayflower, AR
December 20, 1966 - April 17, 2021

Michael Duane Nichols, 54, of Cabot/recently Mayflower, passed away on April 17, 2021.

Mike was born to Jerry D. and Franceil Nichols December 20, 1966 in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

He was a 1985 graduate of Ole Main High School of North Little Rock, AR. He then graduated from Baylor University with a degree in accounting in 1995. Michael was certified as a CPA on October 1, 1996 and received a Master's in Accounting from UALR in 2005. He was self-employed at Mike Nichols CPA of Cabot. His affiliation with H & R Block brought him many awards. Mike developed many great relationships with his clients and truly loved what he did.

He grew up with a love of sports; he played and enjoyed them all his life. He shared that love with his family and friends. His daughters were active in basketball for many years. In 1978, Mike was on a sanctioned, North Little Rock, Burns Park Little League. The team won the right to represent AR and then the U.S. Southeastern District at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. The team was only the second in AR history to attend and the last. They came in 2nd in the nation and 3rd in the world. Mike had the honor of having the best batting average of 0.500.

Mike was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. He adored his wife and was very proud of his girls as he was their biggest cheerleader in every aspect of life. He loved playing golf with his buddies and spending time with friends and family. To know him is to love him, and he made a lasting impact on everyone he encountered.

We would like to thank MD Anderson and CARTI for the excellent treatment that helped him fight his battle as well as Arkansas Hospice for the great care Michael received in his final days. In lieu of flowers, please send any donations to CARTI foundation (8901 CARTI Way Little Rock, AR 72205) for cancer research on his behalf.
