Walter Nichols
May 29, 1948 — September 1, 2015
Our beloved brother, Walter Lee Nichols, of Newton, 67, passed away September 1, 2015 at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center after a brief unexpected illness. God, in his infinite wisdom, claimed our beloved brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
Walter was born May 29, 1948 in McDowell County, West Virginia to Walter Gentry and Jean Nunn. He was preceded in death by his mother Jean Agnes Nunn, brother Thomas Nunn Junior III, sisters Barbara Sue Killen and Clarissa Ann "Pinky" Powell. Walter left behind his sister Brenda Coalson of Walkertown, brother William R. "Bobby" Nunn of Newton, his beloved dog, Rascal, who was Walter's world, nieces, nephews, cousins and many other family and friends. He was a veteran and served his country proudly in the United States Marine Corps, which included a tour in Vietnam and in the United States Army and United States Coast Guard and received a Presidential Unit Citation. He retired from Kmart in 2007 after 31 years of service and was a member of Tri-City Baptist Church.
The funeral will be at 6:00 PM Saturday September 12, 2015 at Jenkins Funeral home Chapel with Pastor Jim Hollar and Pastor Byron Repass officiating.
Military Honors will be provided by American Legion Post 16 and The Marine Corps League. Burial will be at the Salisbury National Cemetery in Salisbury, NC.
The family will receive friends from 5-6:00 pm Saturday, September 12, 2015 at the Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the National Stroke Association or Hospice of Forsyth County.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center ICU 5A including the critical care team and the neurosurgical team, with special thanks to Dr Rajay Jain, Ben Steinberg NP and Vaughn Spain RN. We will miss our loved one and know that God has an amazing angel to watch over us until we meet again. "I hide my tears when I say your name. But the pain in my heart is still the same. Though I smile and seem carefree. There's no one who misses you more than me."
