HOLDEN – Jon W. Nickel, 53, of Jefferson, died unexpectedly after being rushed to Exeter Hospital in Exeter, NH on Tuesday, August 19, 2014.

He is survived by the love of his life, Wendy (Spakauskas) Nickel of Jefferson with whom he shared 8 years of marriage; his step-daughter, Kate Ober of Boston; his sister, Jayne Nickel Waldman and her husband, David Waldman and their son, Daniel of Bedford, NH; a brother, Christopher Mott of Rutland; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Ronald and Barbara Spakauskas of Jefferson; as well as many life-long friends including Robert Picard and Robert Quist. Jon was predeceased by his grandparents, Grace and Pehr Jacobson as well as his loving uncle, Jon Jacobson.
Relatives and friends are invited to a gathering in celebration of Jon’s life from 5 - 8 p.m. on Sunday, August 24, at the Holden Hills Country Club Conference Center, 1800 Main St., Holden.
