Arthur Nicholson

It is with a sense of joy and celebration that we remember the life of Arthur Daniel Nicholson, born on March 21, 1982, in Agana, Guam, and who resided in Silverdale, Washington. Arthur was a humble soul, always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. He found great pleasure in simple things, constantly reminding us of the words of Albert Einstein: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” For Arthur, life was indeed a miracle, full of concerts and festivals, dirt bike rides, camping under the stars, and the camaraderie of his wide social network. He was a lover of football, an explorer, an adventurer, and above all, a loyal friend and loving family member and friend.

Arthur's generous spirit was evident in his chosen profession as a carpenter. He was a dedicated employee who brought his supportive nature to work every day. He wasn’t just constructing buildings; he was building relationships, fostering a sense of community, and creating spaces where people could make their own memories. His friends and family, his beloved Burnaze, and his faithful dog Opie Taylor were what mattered most to him. Arthur lived out the words of Maya Angelou: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Arthur made everyone around him feel valued, loved, and cherished.

Arthur is survived by his father, Michael Nicholson, his mother, Rosalinda Nicholson, his sister Maria, his brother Tim, and his fiancé, Burnaze Betancourt and extended family. His life will be celebrated with a public viewing on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 11:00 pm PST at Lewis Funeral Chapel, 5303 Kitsap Way, Bremerton, Washington, 98312. The funeral service will follow at 12:00 pm PST at the same location. Those who cannot attend in person may join the live stream at https://my.gather.app/remember/arthur-nicholson-2026.
