Mr. Nicky Charles Glaze's Obituary
Nicky Charles Glaze, age 64, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2024, in Dadeville, Alabama. Born on October 9, 1960, in Charlotte, North Carolina, he was the son of Mr. Jodie Washington Glaze and Mrs. Frances Pitchford Glaze. Nicky was a man whose laughter and joy were as abundant as his love for life. His passion for Alabama football and NASCAR was only rivaled by the love he had for his grandchildren, who lovingly referred to him as "PawPaw." Nicky never missed an opportunity to joke around in hopes of making you laugh, as he believed himself to be quite the comedian. His sense of humor was infectious, and he had a unique ability to lighten the hearts of those around him.
Back in his prime, Nicky could be found on the golf course, where his dedication to the game was evident in every swing. Although he was no golfing pro, Nicky approached the tee with the same focus and commitment that he applied to all aspects of his life. Off the course, Nicky was known for his laid-back and down-to-earth demeanor, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was a man who loved to eat and always jumped at the opportunity to dine at his favorite spot-the Mexican restaurant. Those who knew Nicky will remember him as a loving, funny, and thoughtful man. His laughter and kind heart will be missed by all that loved him.
Nicky is survived by his children, Fran (Derrick Lynn) Glaze; Richard (Chelsea) Glaze; grandchildren, Rihanna Walker, Richard Glaze, Jr., Derrick Lynn, Jr., Averyanna Lynn; brothers, Dale Glaze, Joe Glaze; sisters, Phyllis Howell, Sherry Miller, Mary Mortimer; brother-in-law, Scotty Shaddix; cousin, Wayne Glaze; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jody & Frances Glaze; brothers, David Lee Glaze, Bobby Glaze, Bill Wells; and sister, Charlene Glaze.
Langley Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Nicky Charles Glaze.
