Larry Edward Nix, age 77, of Phil Campbell, AL, passed away on Monday, December 22, 2025. Larry was a longtime, faithful member of the First Baptist Church in Phil Campbell, AL. He cared deeply about the children and youth ministries, volunteering his time driving the church bus for Wednesday evening youth activities, serving meals for the Awana program, helping with the annual VBS program (including dressing up in whatever silly costume was required to entertain the kids) and volunteering with the annual Jesus Cares ministry to serve the community. He was a Sunday School teacher, devoted husband and father and a friend to all.
He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his larger than life personality, his constant willingness to help others, his love for story telling, deer hunting and Alabama football. He was a proud grandfather who enjoyed watching his grandchildren in all of their activities and he gave countless hours serving others with a big smile on his face and an even bigger heart for showing the love of Jesus to others.
Larry is preceded in death by his father, Melvin J.C. Nix, his mother, Joel Marie Nix and his brother Christopher Melvin Nix. He is survived by his wife of nearly 30 years, Judy Nix; daughter, Leslie(Ryan); stepson, Bryan James; grandchildren Michael Hollimon, Jade James, Connor Dorr, Spencer Dorr, Graycen Dorr and Hattie Dorr; brother, Vic Nix (Pam) and sister, Deb Hamrick (Eddie); sister-in-law, Sue Kimbrough; one great-granddaughter and many nieces and nephews.
