Ronald “Ronny” Lynn Nicholson, 72 of DeKalb, passed away August 9, 2023 at his home surrounded by
his loving family. He was born May 20, 1951, the son of William Jr. “Bill” and Maxine Nicholson.
An avid outdoorsman, Ronny enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was a talented wood worker and enjoyed
piddling, fixing things, working in his sawmill and making just about anything he had seen.
Ronny could best be described as witty, goofy, gruff, honest, caring and compassionate. He would give
the shirt off his back to anyone in need. Everybody loved him. He wholeheartedly loved his wife, kids
and grandkids and would do anything for them.
