Nicholas Robert Karl II, fondly known by his family and friends as "Nicky," passed away on Thursday, February 6th, 2025, at his home in Lexington, Michigan.
Nick was born on January 7th, 1966, at Mt. Carmel Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, to his loving parents Nicholas Robert Karl Sr. and Lynn (Critchley) Karl. He graduated from Utica High School in 1984, where he was a saxophonist and gifted musician. He later graduated with an associates degree from Macomb Community College.
An avid lover of music, he was a percussionist, owned multiple drum sets, and was known to passionately play the drums. He was always listening to music, designing new inventions and contraptions, and was known for his generous, accepting spirit. He would give you the shirt off his back and would never hesitate to help those he loved if they called. He was known for being outspoken and lived every day as though it were his last.
He is survived by his parents, Nicholas Robert Karl, Sr, and Lynn Karl, sister Michele (Dave) Wingrove, wife Margaret "Peggy" Karl, three daughters, whom he cherished more than life itself, Samantha Katherine Karl, Sydney Michele (Garrett) Seghi, Bryce Nicole Karl, grandson Damon, nieces, and many friends and cousins.
Memorial Services will be held 11:30 AM Tuesday, February 11, at the Pomeroy Funeral Home in Lexington. Fr. Donald J. Eppenbrock will officiate.
Visitation will be from 2-8 PM Monday, and 10:30-11:30 AM Tuesday at the funeral home.
