In Loving Memory of Ray Allen Nichols

Ray Allen Nichols was born on December 26, 1946, to the late Allen Nichols and Estella Nichols. He received his education in Carlisle, Arkansas, and from an early age developed a strong work ethic that would define much of his life.

Ray spent many years driving trucks across the country, earning the nickname “Super Dude” on the road because of his dedication, personality, and hardworking spirit. After many years traveling the highways, he later began working for the Parkers, where he remained faithfully employed until his retirement.

Ray was preceded in death by his wife Joyce Nichols; parents Allen Nichols and Estella Nichols; his son, Timothy Nichols; and his brother, Wallace Nichols.

Those who shall forever cherish his loving memories include his daughters, Donna Brown (Jemaer), Allison Nichols, and Juanita Nichols; his son, Kenneth Ray Nichols (Michelle); his sisters, Beverly Garland (Richard) and Betty Bradley; and his brothers, Roy Nichols (Nita), Llyod Nichols (Pat), Toney Nichols (Ebony), and James Nichols (Charlene).

He also leaves to cherish his memory 16 grandchildren, along with a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many dear friends.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the Parker Family, Brandon, Bernie, and Tiffany for their love, support, and kindness shown during this time.
