Obituary
Jimmie Dale Nickle, age 88, passed away Sunday, October 16, 2022. Jimmie was born September 14, 1934 in Wagoner, Oklahoma. Jimmie is survived by his son Robert Keith Nickle and his wife Deborah Lynn of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. His brother, Edgar Nickle of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and daughter in-law Debbie Sue Nickle. Grandchildren, Ashley Herd and her husband Joseph of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Dustin Nickle and his wife Karen of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Lauren Kliewer and her husband Samuel of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. 5 great-grandchildren: Brecken Herd & Anniston Herd of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Allison Nickle & Parker Nickle of Tulsa, Oklahoma; Macie Kliewer of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Jimmie is preceded in death by his beloved wife Carolyn, his son James Michael Nickle, and parents Ross and Ethel Nickle.
Jimmie was born to Ross & Ethel Nickle. He grew up in Wagoner, Oklahoma and graduated from Wagoner High School in 1951. Jimmie was a catcher in the Detroit Tigers minor league system, then transitioned to being a surveyor. Jimmie married his soul mate Carolyn on August 15, 1953 in Wagoner, Oklahoma. Together they raised their sons, Robert Keith, and James Michael, in Tulsa. In 1975, Jimmie and Carolyn started Fensco Inc. In addition, Jimmie was the co-owner of Empire Construction and Materials, which was later acquired. Jimmie was president of the Association of Oklahoma General Contractors in 1996. Jimmie was a wonderful example of how hard work can help you accomplish much in life. He loved spending time with his grand- and great-grandchildren, particularly while rooting on the Tulsa Hurricane Football team.
His family is at peace knowing that Jimmie and Carolyn were only apart for 3 days before reuniting with their dearly departed son, James Michael, in heaven.
A joint visitation for both Jimmie and Carolyn will be held on Wednesday, October 19 at Moore's Southlawn from 6-8pm. A graveside service will be held for both 2pm, Thursday, October 20, 2022 at Memorial Park Cemetery Mausoleum.
