Nick Nave, 82, Johnson City.
JOHNSON CITY - Nicholas "Nick" Decatur Nave, 82, passed away on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 24, 2005) at the V.A. Nursing Home Care Unit in Johnson City after a long, hard-fought battle with Multiple Myeloma.
Born September 1, 1923 in Carter Co., Tenn., he was the oldest of 14 children born to Vada Trixie Grindstaff and James Miff Nave, both of whom predeceased Nick.
Also preceding him in death were his wife of 60 years, Dorothy Vee Johnson Nave; brothers, Marvin, Jimmy, and Andy; and an infant sister.
Surviving are three daughters and their families, Tondalayo (Tonda) N. Strong and husband, Wayne, Toumonava N. Nelson and husband, Montie, and Yolanda Nave; grandchildren and spouses, Derryl Strong and wife Rebecca, Emily Strong and fiance Steve Danner, Jennifer Robinson and husband Tim, and Michael Milhorn II.; Nick leaves five great-grandchildren, Kavita MacDonald Strong, Sasha Strong, Nelson Elliott, Hailey Robinson and Ryleigh Milhorn. He is also survived by nine brothers and sisters, Al Nave of Washington, Jesse Nave of Texas, Ronnie Nave, Melba Roark, Dorothy Vee Horne, Hannah Fair, Lee Grills, all from Tennessee, Nancy White of Florida, and Dean Nave of South Carolina.
Nick attended and played football for Elizabethton High School. He later earned his GED. Nick was a veteran of World War II, serving as a ship's cook and gunner in the U.S. Navy on the U.S.S. Maui in the Philippines. He liked to refer to himself as a soldier in the Lord's army, rank of slave and servant, with duties of singing in the choir and soul winning.
After serving in grocery retail sales, he owned and managed Dutch Boy Restaurant and Nick's Restaurant and Catering. Many people knew him as "The Chicken Man." After selling Nick's in 1989, he worked as a Wal-Mart greeter in Bristol. Until his retirement from the City of Kingsport Transportation Division, he proudly drove the Jitney for the city and for special events (alcohol free First Nights, Boys and Girls Clubs, the Kingsport Police Dept., Hope Haven Mission, Salvation Army Church, weddings and many churches).
He was a faithful servant of the Lord. As a charter member of Tri-Cities Baptist Church, he served in the choir and as a greeter. Most notably, he was a consistent soul-winner all his adult life. When anyone asked him, "How are you, Nick?" he would answer either, "Saved, how are you? or "If I was any better I couldn't stand it."
He enjoyed hobbies of fishing, boating and horseshoes, but work and witnessing were his highest priorities. He lived to win the lost to Jesus Christ. He studied the Bible every day, once made a mission trip to Mexico, and always handed out tracts and New Testaments wherever he went. He supported and held a special affinity for Tri-State Baptist Children's Home.
The family will receive friends at Carter-Trent Funeral Home in Kingsport from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Services will be conducted at Tri-Cities Baptist Church, 171 Promise Land Dr, Gray, Tenn., at 2 p.m. on Sunday with Rev. Arden Taylor officiating. The body will lie in state one hour prior to the funeral service. At Nick's request, the gospel message will be presented.
