On December 29, 2020, he was united in marriage to Laken Nicole Stasny, and they shared the last two years of happiness and memories.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.
Adam is survived by his loving wife, Laken, of the home near Lebanon, Missouri; two children, Jaden Whyatt Nichols, Addison Elana Nichols, both of the home, and one more eagerly anticipated child; his father, Wendell “Keith” Nichols, of Lebanon, Missouri; his mother, Karen J.

He was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and then moved to Lebanon, Missouri in 2002. He opened his own drywall business and began a successful career. He always liked to be the best at everything and was never outdone.
Adam had a deep abiding faith in Jesus and had attended Life Point Church in Lebanon. He loved helping others and would give you the shirt off of his back.
He was very friendly and never met a stranger. His life rotated around his children and his family and he was the glue that held his family together. He loved anything that was fast and enjoyed having fun up to his last moment of life. He loved his children dearly and was an amazing dad.
Adam was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, great-uncle and was a caring friend. We celebrate his life and know that his family and friends will hold tight to the wonderful memories he made with them during his short lifetime.
