Harold D. Nabors was born in Gorman, Texas on March 25, 1936, to Nathan Lee Nabors and Maudie Pittman Nabors. He graduated from De Leon High School in 1954, always loved his classmates and has stayed in touch with many of them. Harold attended Arlington State College on a co-op program with Texas Electric Service Company. He spent thirty-seven years working with Texas Utilities as Electrician, Electrical Maintenance Foreman, and finishing his career as Safety Engineer.

Harold accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior as a teenager in a revival under the tabernacle at Liberty Baptist Church. He was baptized at First Baptist Church, De Leon, as there was not enough water in the creek for a baptism. He was a member of St. Joe Baptist Church.

In 1961, after four months of courtship, he married Marie Simmons in Monahans, Texas. They have two children, Hal Nabors of Sherman and Kim West of Plano. They celebrated fifty-eight years of marriage in March.

He served in the Air Force, Air National Guard and Army National Guard. His passion for flying continued throughout the years as he took joy rides with friends and logged many hours on a home flight simulator.

Harold loved the outdoors and spent many hours at the lake fishing, or pulling teenage skiers. He and Marie loved RVing and often traveled the United States with friends. Harold loved people, enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest as long as he was able.
