George "Ronnie" Ronald Nixon, Sr.

George “Ronnie” Ronald Nixon, Sr. of New Waverly, Texas went to be with Jesus in his home on Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at the age of 77. He was born March 15, 1943 in San Diego, California. He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Annie Nixon, as well as his wife Shirley Baker Nixon.

Mr. Ronnie was a loving father, PawPaw, and a dear friend to many. He had a successful career, working as a boiler maker for Louisiana Pacific. After retiring from Louisiana Pacific, Mr. Nixon was able to work with his wife at their store, Nixon Superette, located in Punkin - Evergreen. Here, he and his wife were able to minister and get involved in the community. Years after his wife’s passing, he sold “the store,” and spent time at his ranch in Pine Valley. You could always count on Ronnie to make you smile with a sarcastic remark or silly joke… He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren on their ranch, and he loved loving animals. He will be forever missed by many.
