Nickolas Kinnaman and Stephanie Gutierrez welcomed their daughter into the world, a precious blessing who would forever hold the most special place in Nickolas’s heart. Nickolas’s greatest joy was being a father. His daughter, Alta, brought a special light into his life, and the love he had for her was undeniable. She will forever carry the memories of his kindness, warmth, laughter, and the special bond they shared. Nickolas’s love for his family was a meaningful part of who he was, and his memories will live on through those he loved most. A graduate of Corona Centennial High School in 1996, Nickolas was known for his dedication and strong work ethic. He held various jobs throughout his life, including at AGP in Fairfield, Nebraska, where he made many connections and lasting memories. He had a deep love and compassion for animals, which he expressed not only through his genuine care for them but also by volunteering his time at an animal shelter in Corona, California. Nickolas had a zest for life that showed through his many hobbies and the time he spent with the people he loved. Whether he was fishing, swimming, riding his bike, being artistic, or spending time at the cabin in Naponee, Nickolas found joy in the simple pleasures of life. His caring heart was evident, as was his readiness to help others, and his infectious smile could light up any room. He was known for his engaging conversations and his ability to make everyone feel welcome. Nickolas was a member of the Edgar Fire Department while living in Edgar and played Edgar Men’s Fast Pitch Softball. A service to celebrate Nickolas’s life will be held on September 13, 2026, at the Edgar Legion from 2–4 p.m. Friends and family are invited to join in honoring his memory. A private family burial will be held in Naponee, Nebraska. The family kindly suggests that donations be made in Nickolas’s memory, reflecting his generous spirit and kind heart.
