Mark Douglas Nicol M.D.

Mark Douglas Nicol M.D. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dr. Mark Douglas Nicol, a beloved husband, father, grandfather. Dr. Mark Nicol departed this world on October 1 at the age of 70, seeking to explore the cosmos and ultimately unlock his lifelong hypothesis that beauty holds the answer to everything. Born on July 18, Dr. Nicol dedicated his life to the medical field, as a radiologist first in the Navy and later as a partner at the renowned Northside Radiology. He was known not only for his medical expertise but also for his gift of the gab, curious nature and unparalleled talent in the kitchen. Dr. Nicol is survived by his loving wife, Sue with whom he shared a beautiful partnership of over 43 years as well as his brother Bruce and his wife Martha “Mott.” He is also survived by his two children, Grant and Stacey, who will forever remember their father's wisdom, guidance, and unwavering support. Dr. Nicol took great pride in watching his children grow into independent and successful individuals, a testament to the values he instilled in them. Dr. Nicol aka “papa” leaves behind a legacy of love and learning that extends to his four grandchildren, Lucy, 3, Jolie, 3, Suzy, 11 months and Waylon, 10 months who were all deeply fortunate to have spent time together in this lifetime before his passing. While we mourn the loss of a remarkable husband, father, and grandfather, we also celebrate a life well-lived. Dr. Nicol’s dedication to his family, friends and his profession has left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him. The memory of his wide smile and warm laugh will forever live in our hearts. A memorial service to honor Dr. Nicol’s life will be held on November the 8th at St Jude’s Catholic Church in Atlanta, Georgia at 10am with a reception following at Dunwoody Country Club for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The Maritime Center in Beaufort, a cause that was close to Dr. Nicol. As we say our final farewell to Dr. Nicol we remember his legacy of healing, love, learning and family bonds. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
