Bruce is survived by his parents Keith and Barbra Nichols, wife, Sara; children: Jared (Jasmyne) Nichols, Ashley (Wayne) Dewey, Jason (Tia) Nichols; grandchildren: Heston, Cooper, Bentlie, Rylin & Bryson; siblings: Paula Brooks, Blaine (Paula) Nichols, Blake (Lori) Nichols, Brett (Connie) Nichols, LeAnn (Colby) Thomas, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
