Monday, July 18, 2016Nickerson of Chandler, Arizona; sister, Beth Schureman (Dave) of Bremerton; brother, Steve Nickerson (Melanie) of Mukilteo; sister, Mary Whitley (Steve) of Renton; sister-in-law, Donna (Ricky) of Bothell; four nephews and three nieces; aunt, Gloria Jean Merriam (David) of Holyoke, Massachusetts; and cousins Jason, David and Adam Merriam of Massachusetts.A celebration of Frank Nickerson’s life will take place at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Lake Stevens. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Frank’s honor to the American Cancer Society.After graduating from Western Washington University, Nickerson taught in the Mukilteo School District for over 30 years. Teaching was a great fit for Frank, said his younger sister.“I think it just came naturally to him,” said Whitley. “He’s the oldest of four and he was always put in a position of having to mentor his younger siblings and take care of us. I’m the baby. He taught me how to drive. How to swim. He was that third parent. Both of our parents worked full time. It all kind of fell on him.”Whitley, whose husband Steve recalled that Frank’s first questions when they started dating were about his sports allegiances, remembered when Frank told her he got his first coaching job at Mariner High School.“I can still remember he was so excited and so nervous,” Whitley said. “My sister and I came to watch and sit in the stands and listen to what people were saying.”He was the head coach for Mariner before Kamiak High School was built, and was lured over to the Knights by then-Kamiak head coach Steve Merkley to run the Knights’ junior varsity team.“He loved baseball and you could tell in his eyes when he talked about it and his actions,” Merkley said. “He was a perfectionist though. If you didn’t do it perfect in his eyes you heard about it.”Merkley had planned to retire in 2013, but Frank convinced him to coach one more year so that his son, Dominic, could play for Merkley for one season.Then, Frank took over when Merkley did retire after the 2014 season.“That’s how we planned it,” Merkley said. “I was actually going to retire the year before but Dominic was going to be a sophomore and he said, ‘Can’t you just coach my kid one year?’ You never know how things are going to go, but I knew (Kamiak should make Nickerson the head coach). If they didn’t hire him then they were completely nuts.”Nickerson took over prior to the 2015 season, where he coached Kamiak — and Dominic — for the next two seasons.“He was a little bit harder on me on the field but it was understandable,” said Dominic, an outfielder and pitcher for the Knights. “He didn’t want to show that he was playing favorites. But I appreciated it. It showed how much he cared about how I did.”The Knights immediately took to their new head coach.“I always thought, growing up, I would finish out my baseball career with (Merkley) as my head coach,” said Connor Alexander, a senior pitcher on this year’s Kamiak squad. “Once Nickerson came in, it turned that around. It was an awesome two years of baseball and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”On the diamond, Frank Nickerson was known for being a little intense, but always positive.“One of his quotes that I always remember and still use is, ‘Earn, not given,’” Alexander said. “For our team, over the two years that he was the head coach every practice he’d bring it up at least once. Even in life, not just baseball, everything is earned, not given. That’s something I try to live by.”“I think they took him a...
