Russell Dean Nimz was born on June 18,1942 in Blue Earth, MN to Dorothy and Herman Nimz. He passed away in Conroe, Texas on March 27, 2020 at the age of 77. After graduating from Blue Earth High School, Russell proudly joined the US Air Force. While stationed in Louisiana, he met the love of his life, Mary Lasyone, on a blind date. He served bravely during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged in 1966. He raised his family in a small town, Midland, TX. Russell managed the flight line for private airplanes at the Midland Airport, managed sales at Circle B Homes, and later owned and operated Russell’s Pest Control. In 1996, he retired to Lake LBJ and drove cars across the country for the “Ford House.” Russell lived life to the fullest. He cherished the simple things in life, like watching his favorite western, sitting on his back porch, smoking the perfect brisket, fishing, and trips to Vegas. His greatest joy was spending time with his daughters and grandchildren. He is survived by: his beloved wife of 57 years, Mary Nimz; three daughters, Sherry Krawietz, Michele Parsons, and Jill Sida; one brother, Roger Nimz; one sister, Roma Clasen; eight grand-children; eleven great grand-children; numerous nieces and nephews, relatives, and many wonderful friends. Russell joins our angel baby and youngest great grand-daughter Emily, who passed this fall, in Heaven. Due to the National Health Emergency, Military Honors will be held at Dallas Fort-Worth National Cemetery at a later date. A Celebration of Life will be held on Lake LBJ in Marble Falls, TX in early summer. Russell was one of the strongest and caring men to come across. He loved each and every one of his friends so passionately. He will be greatly missed by every single person his soul touched.
