John Nichols
John R. Nichols Jr
December 17, 1975 – September 21, 2013
John Roy Nichols, Jr.,37, of Waco, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, September 21, 2013. Funeral Services are Wednesday, September 25, 2013, at 10 a.m., with a Visitation Tuesday 6-8 pm at OakCrest Funeral Home, 4520 Bosque Blvd.
John was born December 17, 1975 in Danville, IL to John Roy Nichols, Sr. and Eileen Ann Bohannon, moving to Waco in 1979. He attended TSTC after graduating from Waco High School in 1995 and managed Shipley Donuts for many years. John loved watching football and was an avid Dallas Cowboy fan from a young age. His family and friends were the targets of his practical jokes and pranks, especially his mother and grandmother. He loved spending time with his family, taking weekend trips to the coast whenever they could and enjoyed going to estate sales and antiquing. John was renewed by his faith in God and was a light to his extended family; a great husband, father, son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed. We take comfort knowing we will see him again one day.
John was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Matthew F. Singleton, Jr., and his paternal grandfather, Lawrence (Nick) Nichols.
He is survived by his parents, John and Lucinda Nichols, and Steve and Eileen Bohannon; wife, Lisa Nicole Nichols; daughters, Kristen Nichole Nichols, Kaylee Brooke Nichols of Florida, Ryleigh Grace Nichols; son, Tristan John Nichols; sisters, Megan Briegh Nichols, Zoe Nicole Nichols; brother, Zane Zachery Nichols; grandparents, Mildred Singleton, Orville and Rose Engel of McGregor; aunts, Margaret Sharon Kotter of Granbury, Kathy Farahmand and husband Kambiz of Fargo, North Dakota, Lori Nichols Hernandez; uncles, Matthew Frances Singleton, lll and wife Linda of Joshua, Texas, James Clark Nichols of Picayune, MS; nephews, Jayden Ryan, Matthew January, Cohen Schwieters; niece, Claudia January; and many close cousins and friends.

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
