Virgil Nickell

Liberty, SC

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Virgil Glenn Nickell, who left this world peacefully on October 16, 2026, just days shy of his 88th birthday. Born on October 20, 1938, in Page, West Virginia, he was a son of the late William Russell and Emma Maude Reinhart Nickell.

Virgil spent his life as a dedicated family man and beloved member of his community.

He spent most of his career working for Publix, creating warm connections with customers and colleagues alike. His work ethic and commitment to excellence shaped his years in the grocery industry, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him.

An avid fan of Western movies, Virgil loved to immerse himself in the tales of the Old West and the adventures of its unforgettable characters. He found great joy in driving through the beautiful mountains, appreciating their majestic beauty and serenity. These simple pleasures brought light to his life and shared joy with those he loved.

Virgil is survived by his loving daughter, Kandace Nickell, and his sons: Bryan Nickell (Jeannette), Josh Nickell (Amanda) and Adam Williams (Shanna). Also surviving are numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.

In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by a son, Lloyd Nickell.

His legacy of kindness and strength will continue to live on through them.  He was the last survivor of his immediate family.
