Homegoing services for Carroll Johnnie "John" Nipp, 73, of Pike were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 9 at the Assembly of God, Wilson, with Reverend Jim Duck and Jackie Hartman officiating. Interment with military honors followed at the Simon Cemetery.
 
John was born to the late Conver William "Conn" and Jessie "Pearl" Powell Nipp on March 13, 1948 at Simon. He went to his heavenly home on Thursday evening February 3, 2022 at his residence in Overbrook.

John was raised as one of 17 children living at Simon. He initially attended his early years of school at Meadowbrook and then Turner, graduating from Turner High School in 1966. Shortly after his graduation he was drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He served honorably for two years, active and returned home in 1968. He married the former Marsha Ann Hockersmith on July 2, 1970 at Gainesville, Texas.

John worked some within the pipeline construction industry and for V.E. of Springer before gaining employment at the Total Refinery, Ardmore. There he worked until his retirement in 1991. John loved horses and was an avid hunter. He loved to go hog and coon hunting and was a member of the Coonhunters Association. Some of his other favorite things to do was to play the guitar and auctioneer at the Love County Livestock sales and horse sales. As a young child, John was baptized at the Abner Holiness Church and later rededicated his faith by baptism at the Well Springs Church near Marietta. John will be remembered for his love and kindness to others and who always wanted the best for everyone. He never judged anyone for their faults and always invited anyone to sit at his table and have a home-cooked meal.
