Nicholas Dean Kimble, 76, of Omaha, Nebraska died peacefully on April 26th, 2026. Nick was born in Omaha on December 9th, 1949, to Orville and Mary (Meis) Kimble. He later moved to Plattsmouth and attended Plattsmouth High School where he excelled in football and track. He was the wide receiver on the football team which went to the conference championship in 1968. He was also one of the top 100- and 200-yard sprinters in the state.

Nick studied secondary education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He taught history at St. Alberts high school in Council Bluffs where he also served as a junior varsity football and track and field coach. Nick briefly taught in Hooper Bay, Alaska, and Ketchikan, Alaska. Upon returning to Omaha, he taught history at St. Roberts high school and coached the middle school football team. After retiring from teaching, he greeted guests at the Boys Town Visitors Center and welcomed students as a security guard at Marian High School.

Nick was preceded in death by his parents, Mary Louise (Meis) Kimble and Orville Kimble. He is survived by his son Anthony (Aya) Kimble of Omaha, Nebraska; daughter Shari (Charles) Kimble of Omaha, Nebraska; two grandchildren; brother David Kimble of Lincoln, NE; and his niece and two nephews.

Nick will be remembered for his irreverent sense of humor, his passion for athletics -- especially the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and his commitment to staying up to date on the latest music and technology.

The family will be holding a private gathering to celebrate Nick's life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Nebraska Humane Society.
