Obituary
I’m not usually at a loss for words, but this passage will be difficult to write.
It’s about the death of someone who was loved; my sister’s son, my nephew.
Lachlan was a kind, easy going guy with a huge heart. He had good humour. He watched lots of movies,
and he was a great ball player…..he loved ball! He was a cat lover. He never met a stranger.
Sadly, he was struggling. He had a hole in his soul and that made him vulnerable.
In the world of drugs and addiction, being vulnerable is a dangerous place to be.
A while back he was working on sobriety for a short period of time, and the positive changes were
immediately noticed. However, the pull of addiction and the control of the drug culture took on a life of
its’ own and it was too strong for him to break away.
LACHLAN LANE NICHOLSON passed away on October 3rd, 2021. Lachlan died of Illicit drug toxicity. He
was only 35 years old.
Lachlan’s true friends and family, continually reminded him that there was always a way out. All he
needed to do was to take the first step and we would walk beside him. But it was a rabbit hole for him.
He was lost and couldn’t see his way out.
I loved him and I miss him already.
I stood in shock that night watching the paramedics trying for an hour to revive him. They are amazing.
I stood in shock looking at my gorgeous nephew dead on the floor.
As I said good bye to him that night, I rejoiced in the knowledge that he will be with his mother now.
He missed her so.
I want to thank the paramedics for their effort and skill, and the RCMP for their service.
I want to thank all the people with true hearts and a clear conscience who have been thinking of the loss
of Lachlan and sharing their thoughts and memories with me.
There will be no funeral service. Cremation will take place.
Thank-you for your support,
From Lachlan’s Family.
If you are thinking about donations, I would like to suggest “Discovery House”-Addiction Recovery for
Men in Penticton BC.
