Nickolas Vlahos Obituary
June 7, 1937 January 15, 2024
Bakersfield Nickolas John Vlahos, age 86, passed on to eternal life, joining his wife Pat and son John, on January 15, 2024.
Known by many names, his most beloved was Papou as he was affectionately called by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Nick was married to the love of his life, Pat, for 53 years before her passing in 2008. Together they raised two sons, Mike and John, in their neighborhood on Cardinal. After her passing, Nick lived independently with the daily care of his sons Mike and John, before John's passing in 2018.
Up until the time of his passing, Nick continued to be surrounded with love and care by Mike and his wife Carolyn, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and his friends in the neighborhood he had lived in for decades.
Nick loved all those around him while on this earth, but was ready to meet up with his heavenly Father.
A Celebration of Nick's life will begin at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 at Greenlawn Northeast, 3700 River Blvd., and continue on at the Woolgrowers Restaurant, 620 E. 19th St.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4.
