Obituary
A former resident of Jackson, AL, by way of Detroit, MI, Richard Thomas Nixon, 56, passed in peace on May 7th, 2014, at his home in Kent, WA.
The third of six children, he was born September 21st, 1957 in Jackson AL, to the late Frank Nixon Sr and Ida Burroughs Nixon. As a child, he was united with Saint Union Baptist Church. Richard was known for being a hard, devoted worker, and had recently retired. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, and having a good time. "Bill Blast", "Juicy Fruit", "G", "Dig'em Hat", etc., are just a few names that we knew him by. With his straight-forward, "tell-it-like-it-is" personality, we all loved Richard just the same. He was united in Holy Matrimony to Beverly Glover, whom preceded him in death.
Richard is survived by one brother, Frank (Charlene) Nixon Jr, Detroit, MI. Three sisters, Peggy Lynn Nixon and Carolyn (Eddie) Nixon Coleman, both of Seattle, WA, and Wanda Nixon, Jackson, AL., a devoted cousin, Juanita Burroughs, Detroit MI., a devoted uncle, Roy (Debra) Meggs, Jackson, AL., three devoted aunts, Lauretta Barnes and Jimmie Lucyies, both of Jackson, AL, and Mary Lee Donald of Mobile, AL; five nephews, Marques (Machalle) S. Nixon, Jesse Andre Nixon, Eddie LaBronze Coleman, Alden Rashaad Coleman, and Iyron B'Anthony Nixon. Four nieces, Frances L. Nixon, Deliliah (Crisanna) Marie Nixon, Crystal Dionne Coleman, and Marketta Eason; four great-nephews, Darnell Campbell, Charles North, Michael Antohn Nixon, and Kamden Jesse Nixon. Three great-nieces, Janay Campbell, Taylor Campbell, and Mykah Marie Saunders-Nixon, a devoted friend, Jeffrey Norman, and other relatives, cousins, and friends.
Viewing Friday, 10am until the 11am service at Saint Union Missionary Baptist Church, Jackson, Dr. James M. Howard, pastor and eulogist. Following the burial in Woodlawn Cemetery, Jackson, the family will receive friends in the fellowship hall of the church. Services entrusted to Andrews Funeral Home, Jackson.
