Stanley Nixon

Mr. Stanley Nixon, the son of Dan Nixon, Sr. and Ruth Jones Nixon, began his earthly journey on February 10, 1953, in Anniston, Alabama. He graced this world for 72 wonderful years, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and quiet strength. Stanley accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and united with Greater Thankful Baptist Church. His spiritual journey was very important to him, leading him to read the Bible 14 times. He was in the middle of reading it for the 15th time. He received his formal education in the Anniston City School System where he graduated from Cobb Avenue High School. After high school, he served his country for three years in the United States Navy before receiving an honorable discharge. Following his military service, Stanley embarked on a rewarding career as a boiler operator at the Anniston Army Depot until he retired with 42 years of service. Stanley was blessed to marry his soulmate, Kim Ringo, and share forty-three precious years of marriage. They were blessed with two children, Terry and Caliah. Stanley truly cherished the time spent with his family, ensuring they were happy, and their needs were met. A man of few words, he enjoyed the simple pleasures in life and found contentment in being a homebody, spending countless hours relaxing in his recliner and watching his favorite television shows. On Sunday, April 27, 2025, Stanley Nixon, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, completed his earthly journey and transitioned to eternal peace. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Ruth Nixon and his brother Greg Nixon. Stanley's legacy lives on through the cherished memories he leaves behind for his loving wife, Kim Nixon; children, Terry J. Nixon and Caliah Nixon; grandchildren, Terrianna Nixon, Aerrianna Nixon, Ikiaria Phillips, Jeremiah Nixon, Serenity Nixon, Ni'Jay Nixon, Jade Phillips, and Princeton Nixon; great-grandchildren, Layloni Gilder and Za'loni Gilder; brothers, Michael (Juanette) Nixon and Dan (Mae) Nixon, Jr.; aunt, Carrie Hutchinson; sisters-in-law, Barbara Smith, Michelle (Stanford) Williams, and Mary Nixon; brothers-in-law, Deric Ringo and Russell Ringo; god-daughter, Alcanna Davis; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Stanley Nixon may no longer be with us in body, but his spirit, memory, and the love he fostered will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew him.
