Chad had worked as a Millwright for the last 10 years at CWC in Muskegon. In his free time, he loved to relax, watch the Detroit Lions, go fishing, and work outside. He was a family man and adored his grandchildren. He was a stubborn and funny man with a rigid and sharp sense of humor. He will be dearly missed.
Chad was preceded in death by: mother, Ladonna Wilson; and brothers, Charles Nickoles and Timothy Nickoles.
Chad is survived by: wife, Kelly Johnson; sons, Matthew McQueen and Jacob Johnson; step-children, Jamie Busman and Aaron (Lindsey) Busman; grandchildren, Wyatt, Adilynn, Jaina, and Ariyah; sister, Kathleen (Dale) Morrison; and brothers, Dennis Nickoles, Bryan Nickoles, and Darrick Nickoles.
A private family celebration of life is being planned for a later date; details will be posted when the are made available.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital.
