In Loving Memory of David Louis McNichol. November 12, 1986 – December 5, 2024, Kerrobert, SK.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Louis McNichol, a beloved father, partner, son, brother, and friend, on December 5, 2024, at the age of 38.
David was born on November 12, 1986, at the Kerrobert Union Hospital. He was named in memory of his great uncle, David Louis McNichol, who tragically lost his life during active duty in World War II. David’s legacy is marked by the strength of family, the bonds of friendship, and a love for his community.
David grew up in Kerrobert, where he attended Kerrobert Composite School and graduated in 2005 alongside 26 classmates. A proud “Rebel” throughout his school years, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the school mascot, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and resilience that came with being part of the Kerrobert Rebels. He also participated in a variety of sports, including track & field, football, baseball, hockey, and golf. He proudly cheered on the Kerrobert Tigers, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. David’s passion for sports and team spirit remained with him throughout his life.
David’s work career began in his youth, delivering the Star Phoenix paper, snow shoveling, and grass cutting. After graduation, he embarked on a successful career in the oilfields, which he pursued until his passing.
David’s greatest joy in life came from being a father to his children, Waylen and Sayler McNichol, and from sharing his life with his partner, Misty Nikiwski. His memory will be cherished by his parents, Doug and Jan McNichol; his sisters, Patricia and Krystal McNichol; his brother, Jonathon McNichol; his grandmother, Georgina Weber; as well as numerous uncles, aunties, cousins, nieces, nephews, former co-workers, and friends. Predeceased are his paternal grandparents Mac & Dorthy McNichol and his maternal grandfather John Weber
David had a passion for collecting Hot Wheels and a special place in his heart for animals. He cherished the company of his beloved cat, Milo, whom he received as a birthday gift from his sister, Patricia.
