Nicholas 'Nick' Harold Louis Cotton, 26, passed away December 13, 2021, at his home.  He was born September 21, 1995, in Porterville, CA, to Lloyd D. and Dawn Michelle (Clifton) Cotton.

Nick graduated from Porterville High School, Porterville, CA, and Wichita Technical Institute, Wichita, KS.  He served in the United States Army as a mechanic.  Nick was employed as a Senior Production Operator at Pfizer Inc., McPherson, KS.

He was the Art of Kintsugi.  Nick's quirks and uniqueness made him a beautiful piece of art.  He cared hard and loved harder.  Nick was quiet, yet his jokes made a whole room cry with laughter.  Everything he loved made his beautiful eyes sparkle.  Nick's eyes, oh his eyes, could tell the most beautiful poems.  The ones that make your heart feel a million things all at once.  His eyes were beautiful, he was beautiful.

On July 13, 2018, he married SommerLyn Christine Ann Bonnie Anzo, in McPherson, KS.

Nick is survived by:  his wife, SommerLyn Cotton of Hutchinson; and father-in-law and mother-in-law, Thomas and Anna Anzo.

A private Celebration of Life gathering will be Tuesday, December 28, 2021.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Nicholas Cotton Memorial Fund, in care of Elliott Mortuary and Crematory, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, KS 67501.
