June 28, 1929 — June 9, 2019
PENDLETON — The follow-
ing sentences have been
imposed in Umatilla County
courts:
Henry Nichols, also
known as Joe or Hank,
passed away February 14,
2019. Mr. Nich-
ols was born in
Malin,
Oregon,
on September 13,
1931. He was a
graduate of Klam-
ath Union High
School where he
was an all-state
halfback and led
the great 1949
football team into
the Oregon State
playoffs. He was
a rodeo athlete
and later became
an accomplished
rodeo announcer.
Following high
school he entered
Grays Harbor Col-
lege on a foot-
ball scholarship
where he played
for two years. The
Korean War was at
its zenith and he decided to
enter the Air Force to serve
his country, where he served
for four years.
Upon his discharge from
the service, he knew he
loved horses, cows, and ani-
mal agriculture and grad-
uated from Cal Poly State
University with a B.S. in
animal husbandry in 1960
and worked and prospered
in the industry his entire life.
He was a “horse whisperer”
long before the term became
popular and taught his kids
the art of horsemanship as
well.
He loved helping, coach-
ing, and traveling with his
family as they participated
in sporting events and rodeo.
He was always there with a
word of encouragement or
advice. He was a true fam-
ily man who was happiest
when he was with his fam-
ily. Mr. Nichols married
Evelyn Betty Jean McClain
in 1956, also from Klamath
Falls, and they raised three
children in Echo, Oregon,
where they lived and pros-
pered for 25 years.
Mr. Nichols is
survived by his
wife of 62 years,
his children Wade,
Nita, and Lyle,
his four grand-
children and three
great-grandchil-
dren.
Mr.
Nich-
ols lived life to
the fullest, and
his motto that he
taught his fam-
ily and many oth-
ers to live by was:
Always do your
best and a little
more while work-
ing hard and play-
ing hard.
Mr.
Nich-
ols will be sorely
missed by a whole
host of people
from
different
walks of life. He touched so
many in his travels, while
working hard and playing
hard. He always had a laugh
and a story or two to tell
in all situations and meet-
ings. His boots will be tre-
mendously hard to fill as
a husband, father, grand-
father,
great-grandfather,
friend, and associate. When
you think of him, he would
like nothing better than to
remember the good times
and have a drink or two in
remembrance. He lived life
to the fullest as he “threw a
leg over and rode it for all it
was worth.” He is in Heaven
teaching them all how to Let
‘er Buck.
There will be a celebra-
tion of life for Joe Nich-
ols in Echo, Oregon, at the
Echo Ridge Winery on Sat-
urday, July 6, 2019, from
4-7 p.m.
The Nichols family wel-
comes all who knew Joe,
where we will raise a glass
and tell stories.
