Honey Grove, Texas -- James Marvin Nichols passed away at the age of 77 on December 20, 2025, in Honey Grove, Texas. Born on September 22, 1948, in Bonham, Texas.

James's life was one marked by joy and much laughter. James was known for his quick wit and his ability to find humor in every situation, traits that endeared him to everyone he met.

After marrying the love of his life, Marita, who preceded him in death, James built a life in Honey Grove that was rich in love and family. Together, they raised their son, Jess. His family continued to be a source of immense pride and joy for James.

James leaves behind his son, Jess Nichols with wife Roxanne, and Grand-daughter, Abigail Cardenas. He also leaves behind one brother, Tommy Nichols and wife Kay, and daughter Cassie as well as many other nieces and nephews, whom he loved very much.
