Lake Cumberland Funeral Home
Dr. Larry Nichols went home to be with the Lord on Monday, March 21, 2022. He was pastor to many churches in Kentucky as a member of the United Methodist Church Kentucky Conference. He was "filling in" as pastor of the Somerset First Church of the Nazarene at the time of his promotion to Heaven. His passion was to reach those who did not know his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He started Arise Ministries to preach the gospel across the country. He ministered in prisons through Arise Ministries with witnessing, preaching, tent revivals, campout for prisoner's children and collecting Christmas presents for the children. All of Larry's life, as a 12 year old, he has been a witness for the Lord. Before full-time ministry, he taught at various High Schools and Colleges. He was an avid tennis player, receiving a full scholarship for tennis at Cumberland College. He has helped coach various sports teams and enjoyed teaching the game of chess, too.
Larry is survived by his wife of 52 years, Wanda; 2 children: Dr. Joshua Nichols (Arynda) and Rachel Dickey (Matt) and 8 grandchildren: Brandon Nichols, Raylee Nichols, Kyra Nichols, Luke Nichols, Landon Nichols, Jocelyn Grace Beard, Jillian Kensley Beard and Jacqueline Joy Beard.
His funeral service was held on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at Lake Cumberland Funeral Home.
