Keith Roe Nuckolls, aged 65, of Grove, Oklahoma, passed away on June 24, 2025. Born on June 25, 1959, in Rockford, Illinois, Keith was the cherished son of the late William R. Nuckolls and Catherine (Pipkin) Nuckolls. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Judy Proctor.
Keith spent his formative years in Grove, attending Grove High School. Known for his humorous and friendly nature, Keith often teased those he loved, embodying a playful, ornery spirit that endeared him to many. His love for his family was profound, especially for his nieces and nephews who held a special place in his heart.
A skilled craftsman, Keith was self-employed as a cabinet maker and also maintained rental properties. His passion for carpentry and woodworking was evident in the meticulous work he produced, a testament to his dedication and eye for detail. Keith also had a keen interest in computers and technology, and he enjoyed spending time at casinos, where he indulged in the lively atmosphere and excitement.
Keith is survived by his siblings, Cindy Nuckolls of Tahlequah, OK, Nina Moman (Reece) of Grove, OK, and Cathy Turner of Virginia. His presence will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
Visitation will be held from 5pm-7pm Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at Nichols-Stephens Funeral Service, followed by funeral services at 1pm on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, at Nichols-Stephens Funeral Chapel in Grove, OK. Keith will be laid to rest at Olympus Cemetery, Grove, OK.
