DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. — The family of Nick Sokol called the 26-year-old father a caring and loving man.
Sokol was killed Sunday morning when his car ran off Route 1 in Dinwiddie and struck a tree.
Sokol was not wearing a seat belt, police said.
“Nick was an amazing person, he was a wonderful father and the most amazing man I have ever fell in love with,” Sierra Poole said.
Poole and Sokol welcomed a baby boy last fall.
“This just seems so unreal,” Sierra said. “He was wonderful, helpful, caring, and loved his son more than anything. Bentley [their son] was his better half.”
