Lyndon Clyde Nichols was born on September 11, 1941 in Denison, Texas to Clyde and Nettye Wilson Nichols. He passed away on January 29, 2022 in Kemp, Okla. at the age of 80.
Lyndon was a lifelong resident of Kemp and a member of the Kemp Church of Christ. Lyndon attended Kemp Schools and graduated High School in May 1960.
He attended college briefly and was drafted in the United States Army in 1967. He served in Vietnam during the worst part of fighting. He received several awards for his conduct. After his service he worked many years for LOF in Denison, Texas.
He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Wallace Larry Nichols, Ernie Glenn Nichols and by his sister, Wilma Nichols Hatfield.
He is survived by his sister, Rheva Wells and husband Dan; nephews, David Hatfield, Myron Nichols, Michael Wells and Stephen Wells; nieces, Sheryl Doornbos, Nicole Alexander, Sharon Grotlisch and Amy Monroy. He is also survived by numerous great nieces and nephews, cousins and many friends who loved him and will miss him.
The Nichols family has a hole in their hearts now. We are missing our beloved Lyndon but we know that he is bringing his own music and smiles and tricks to those that have gone before him in glory. There wasn’t a kid who walked this earth that wasn’t drawn to Uncle Lyndon and a table that didn’t welcome him.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12, 2022, at the Kemp Church of Christ with Brother Jan Kelly officiating.
Arrangements under the direction of American Funeral Home.
