Nickie Allen Summers, 82, passed away at his home in South Pittsburg on July 3, 2021.

He leaves behind his wife of 58 years June Driver Summers, daughter Regina (Roger) Cloud of Huntsville, sons Mike and Jeff Ashby of California, grandson Derek (Keeshia) Cloud, and granddaughter Rebecca Cloud. His great grandchildren include Kiersten, McKenzie, Rylan, Mason, and Faith, all of Huntsville. Special friend is Charlynn Peoples.

Nickie was a Navy veteran, truck driver, heavy equipment operator, and retired from Lodge Manufacturing after 25 years.

He was a member of Grace Baptist Church in South Pittsburg.

Nickie loved taking his boat out on the Tennessee River to fish, working with his grandson, capturing family occasions on videotape, listening to his scanner, and taking care of his cats. He kept the instructions for every gadget and knew just the thing to do in every situation. There was rarely a problem he could not solve. He enjoyed his truck, his John Deere tractor, and the Lodge prime rib dinner each year. Nickie travelled many places, met many people, and made many friends over the years. He enjoyed telling stories of his travels and time in the Navy, and his family enjoyed hearing of his countless adventures. He is a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
