Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryALAN ROBERT NIXON
After a courageous battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, our beloved husband, father, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and best friend was forced to leave us. Al did not lose his battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, rather he won the battle, but in the only way left to him - by escaping its grasps, and forever and finally leaving it behind. It is with deep sorrow that we announce his passing, 17 days short of his 81st birthday.
Al will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 58 years Gayleen (Essex), children, Alan and Grant, sister Marian Ulyatt (Norm), brother-in-law Ken Essex (Pat), sister-in-law Margaret Beauchamp (Lorne), many nieces and nephews, as well as extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Margaret (Peggy) Nixon, brother Tom Nixon, niece Terri Essex, nephews, Tommy Nixon and Brian Nixon.
A Celebration of Life will be held December 6, 2025, at the Stonewall United Church, 369 First Ave N, Stonewall, at 11:00 a.m., with a lunch to follow at the Odd Fellows Hall, 374 First Street W, Stonewall.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation for research into eliminating this disease, or a charity of one’s choice. Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, 3250 Bloor Street W, East Tower, Suite 600, Toronto, ON, M8X 2X9, or online at cpff.ca.
The family would like to thank Dr. L. Homik, Debbie Homik and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group family for their caring and support throughout this journey.
Thank you to the Stonewall RCMP and EMS for their kindness and support. A special thank you to Ken Loehmer for his gentle guidance as we face our new tomorrows.
The saddest word mankind knows, will always be “Goodbye”
