Vincent Joseph Nicholas, Jr. passed away on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 in Covington, LA. He was born on August 14, 1943 in New Orleans, LA to the late Vincent Joseph Nicholas, Sr. and Mary Ethel Llorens Nicholas.

Vincent was a father, husband, grandfather, great-grandfather, jokester, and the “Captain” of our family ship. He loved taking a ride in his truck, people watching, spending time with his family, going to the casino, riding his bike, stealing moments of solitude, woodworking, astronomy, spoiling the babies, dancing, and making people laugh with his unique sense of humor. He was a master carpenter, and his craftsmanship lives on in many homes across the parish. He took pride in his work and instilled a great work ethic in his children. Vincent’s greatest joys in life were his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren whom he loved and adored.
