Nub worked for over 36 years at International Paper in Fort Smith, most recently as the maintenance manager.

He is survived by his wife of over 33 years, Bequita (Johnson) Nehus of Paris; two sons, Dalton Nehus and wife, Kady of Paris and Wyatt Nehus of Russellville; one sister, Linda Wooten of Paris; numerous nieces and nephews and his grandson, Beckett Nehus and his second grandson expected later this year, Kaysen.
The funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2025 at First Baptist Church in Paris officiated by Rev. Harlin Brewton. Burial will follow in Corley Cemetery under the direction of Roller Funeral Home in Paris.
Pallbearers will be Steve Forbis, Steve Layes, David Fitzjurls, John Warren, Wesley White, Kenny Taylor and Donnie Taylor.
Honorary pallbearer will be Paul Ahrns.

I'm so sorry as Greg and Karen are that you, Bequita and Wyatt have lost Nub. I remember you telling us at a beginning ballgame season that Dub had made the brave decision to take no more chemo treatments. I wanted you to know I am praying for you all and I know you have the kind of faith to believe in the Lord and that this is not our home, our eternal home. I hope to see you soon Linda Jo

Bequita and family. I know the pain you are going through. Nub was a dear friend for the majority of my life. I can't remember a time that when we bumped into each other that it wasn't like a family reunion. He was a dear friend that I loved dearly. I know everyone will say that they are sorry for your loss. I too am sorry that Nub is gone. But Nub is having the time of his life. No more pain. No more suffering. Yes he will be missed deeply. But you know you didn't lose Nub, He just moved to his Heavenly Home and ONE DAY WE WILL ALL SEE HIM ONCE AGAIN. BUT HE WILL BE BETTER THAN EVER. Love You All!!!

What a terrific guy Nub was, from the time I first knew him as a 7th grader in my English class. Good student, outstanding athlete, so friendly. Even throughout his illness he remained upbeat, greeting folks always with a smile. There was never an indication from him that he was feeling anything other than fine. He fought such a long time, and Bequita, his rock, was with him every step of the way. Rest in peace, Nub. Bequita, I love you, and my heart goes out to you, your boys, and all the family.
