RIP Nyal
In Memory of
Nyal Harrison Witham Jr.
Nyal Harrison Witham Jr. was born on May 1st, 1964, in Lubbock Texas to father, Nyal Harrison Witham II and mother, Yvonne. He was called home to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, January 13th, 2025, surrounded by family, friends and loved ones.
After moving to Houston, as a young boy, Nyal spent his childhood playing outside with his brother and friends, connecting with nature and Gods beautiful creations by the creek, and exploring through the Woods of his neighborhood.
Nyal became a Christ follower in his early adult years. He pursued his passion for Christ by becoming a Deacon at Second Baptist Church at the Woodway campus. He attended the College of Biblical Studies and continued his discipleship for Christ through Men’s Prison Ministry locally in Houston. Nyal went on to serve Christ as a Youth Minister at Holy Cross Episcopal Church and as Associate pastor at Life Church.
He found great joy and passion in connecting with middle school and high school students and leading them on their path to a personal relationship with Christ. Nyal’s fondest memories included the many mission trips to Guatemala and surrounding areas
where he helped build clinics , schools and accessibility to clean water. During his tenure, many young lives were influenced and positively impacted by his leadership. Nyal truly felt this chapter of his life was one of the most important in demonstrating his love for the Lord and faith in Jesus Christ by shining through his family and friends as a servant. Nyal navigated through seasons of change in his career and home life as he continued to walk by faith, sharing the gospel to co-workers, new acquaintances, and anyone who crossed his path. Nyal prioritized his leadership role within the home by studying the Bible daily and walking with his wife, Linda, in pursuit of a closer relationship with Christ.
Nyal’s passions extended to many genres of music, most specifically heavy metal, country, old rock, jazz and classical. He loved his heritage and country, displayed in his hobbies for guns & shooting , and the right to protect his family and loved ones. He took great pride in living a healthy lifestyle which included daily workouts at the gym with his workout buddies and eating healthy. Nyal loved animals as evidenced through his many pet boxers throughout the years and multiple cat rescues. He believed in rescuing any and all animals in need.
Nyal Harrison Witham Jr is survived by his wife, Linda, son, Luke daughters Kaleigh and her husband David, and youngest daughter Clare, his father Nyal Harrison Witham II, step-mother Jan, his mother Yvonne, his brother Brad and his wife Beth and their daughter Pressly, his cousin Mark and his wife Edna and their son Austin, step-daughters Denise, Kayla, and Jade, son in-law Ryan, mother in-law Josine and her daughter Josiane and son Doug, sister-In-law Brenda and her sons Caden & Kyle, grand-sons Nathan and Brantley, Daiton, Hayden, Maverick and Stetson.
