Who Was Tyre Nichols? Man Beaten To Death By Memphis Police Was A Skateboarder, Father And ‘Beautiful Soul’
Nichols also enjoyed skateboarding, a hobby he had been doing since he was 6.
“You’ve got to put that skateboard down,” his stepfather remembered telling him before his death, per the New York Times. “You’ve got a full-time job now.”
He also had his mother’s name tattooed on his arm.
“That made me proud,” she told The New York Times. “Most kids don’t put their mom’s name. My son was a beautiful soul.”
Nichols moved to Memphis right before the pandemic and ended up having to stay there, but his mother said that “he was OK with it because he loved his mother.” He previously lived in Sacramento.
