Nicholas Clark Caudill, 46, passed away on October 9, 2025, in Jackson, Kentucky at the Kentucky River Medical Center. Born on February 16, 1979 in Hazard, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Clark Caudill. Nicholas was a lifelong Kentuckian whose presence left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
A high school graduate, Nicholas was known among his family and friends as a gentle giant—a nickname that reflected both his stature and his kind-hearted nature. He had a deep love for collecting Hot Wheels and trading cards, hobbies that brought him joy and connected him with others who shared his interests. More than anything, Nicholas cherished time spent with his family. He especially enjoyed hanging out with his nephew Isaiah, with whom he shared a close bond.
Nicholas is lovingly remembered by his mother, Joyce Caudill; his brother, Wesley Caudill; his nephew, Isaiah Caudill; and his nieces, Starr Caudill and Karina Caudill. He also held a special place in the hearts of his aunts—Kay Gross, Donna Lawson, and Barbara Barnett—along with a host of cousins, other relatives, and friends who will miss him dearly.
There will be no services.
May the memory of Nicholas Clark Caudill bring comfort to those who knew and loved him.
