Jamie Cott Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jamie Nicole Cott, our beloved Nikki, who left this world on May 15, 2025, at 5:05 AM, just days after celebrating her 37th birthday. Born on May 10, 1988, to Henry Cott and Debarah Irwin, Nikki was a vibrant spirit who touched the lives of everyone she met.
Nikki was a force of nature—someone who embraced life fully and lived it on her own terms. She had a unique way of connecting with those around her, leaving a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Her strength, warmth, and spirited personality brought joy to many, and her presence will be deeply missed.
Preceded in death by her father, Henry Cott, and her brother, Levi Cott, Nikki is survived by her loving mother, Debarah Irwin; her brothers, Bobby and Jesse Cott, Shane, and Shaun Kendall; her cherished children, Matthew (Atherton) Irwin, Miranda (Atherton) Hunt, Alexsus (Atherton) Cott, and Dakota Foster; along with many other family members and friends who will miss her dearly.
Nikki’s untimely departure has left a void in our hearts, but we will gather to celebrate her life and the beautiful memories we shared. Details of this celebration will be announced soon.
Rest in peace, Jamie Nicole Cott. You will forever be remembered!
