Eddie Nichols, age 56, Russellville, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014 during the evening service at Rockwood Baptist Church.
Eddie was first a Christian, then a loving husband, and a cool father. Love of his family was second only to that of his love for Jesus Christ. He was a deacon at RockwoodBaptistChurch and was very involved in church, especially with the children. Eddie worked for many years at VF Corporation (H.D. Lee) and was currently working at St. Gobain – Adforce in the shipping department. He was a devoted Notre Dame fan. Eddie lived his testimony all his life, setting a Christian example, never saying anything bad about anyone, and always willing to lend a helping hand. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed by everyone.
The visitation was Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2014 at Spry Memorial Chapel. Speaking at the service was Bro. Jerry Hester, Bro. Gerald Borden, Bro. Chris Green, and his daughter, Mary Beth. Burial followed at FranklinMemoryGardens.
