Lt. Col., US Army, (Retired) Harold Nixon ‘Nick’ Gibbs earned his first set of wings at Fort Rucker on June 18, 1971 and gained his eternal wings on Aug 5, 2023, in Mandeville, Louisiana surrounded by his loving family. Born in At Read Obituary
We remember Nick fondly from our trip to Germany, where his good nature and sense of humor, coupled with the same from Kathy, made our visit fun and interesting. He was one of the good guys, and we're glad we knew him. Our love to Kathy and the rest of the lovely Gibbs family. Karen and Dan Cook
When I was a teenager, many, many, many years ago, Nick helped me perfect my stick-shift driving skills. I knew the basics, but couldn’t manage stopping and going on an incline without stalling my car. We spent several hours driving up and down the hills in Kingman until he was certain that I could perform the clutch release/accelerate maneuver with absolutely NO back sliding or stalling. His patience with me was nothing short of miraculous. He was an excellent teacher, a wonderful father, a loving husband and just a hell of a good man.
To the Gibbs family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was an amazing father, husband, and more to you all. I know he’ll be greatly missed but will live on in all of you. Send my love and condolences.
Sorry for the loss of a neighbor and friend....Always enjoyed talking with him....March on soldier !!!!!
My sincere condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with y’all in your time of grief.
