Shane Nichols-Gordon

Shane Nichols-Gordon was only 54 when he passed away on March 16, 2025. He was born on March 2, 1971 in Winnemucca, Nevada. He attended high school in Auburn, Washington. Eventually he went to Seattle to attend the Art Institute of Seattle getting a degree in Graphic Design. It was there he met his future husband. They lived in Seattle, then Mount Vernon, Washington, Manchester, New Hampshire, and finally Hardwick, Vermont.
He was a wonderful husband, father to his cats, crotcheter, overall artist, gamer, and a big DIY'er among other things. Most of his jobs were managing stores, his favorite being Borders. He loved to read.
Shane favored high end things, like his cars (Audi) and certain name brand items. Admittedly he didn't care a lot for the public, or people really....but to those he did like, he was loyal and committed to. A true friend. His heart was full of love, a sharp wit, sarcasm, laughter, and sometimes bluntness.
He leaves behind a husband and partner of almost 30 years, Jeffrey Nichols-Gordon, cats Tommy and Danny, along with his friends and work family. Among others, he is survived by his Father Lonnie Gordon (Georgia), his Mom Cathy Carter (Dale), Aunt Linda Kasper (Mike), Uncles David Toland, Phil Simpson, and Monty Gordon.
He's predeceased by his cats: Maddy and Erik. Also his grandparents: Ida and Moe Cochran, Don and Rose Gordon, and Great Grandparents Rose and Enrico Quilici.
We will miss his presence, his goofy smile, and bigger than life personality. Forever in our hearts and hoping he is out there among the stars.
