Nolan Scott Henderson

NOLAN SCOTT HENDERSON, of Jemison, passed away suddenly on June 13, 2025, at his residence. He was born in Alabaster, Alabama, on October 21, 1968.

Nolan was a man whose heart beat in rhythm with music. A naturally gifted guitarist, he could make melodies flow with ease, and he had the rare ability to sing beautifully while he played. His love for music knew no boundaries—ranging from the elegance of classical compositions to the energy of rock and roll. Whether performing for friends or simply playing for the joy of it, Nolan’s music was an expression of who he was: passionate, soulful, and sincere.

He was not only a talented musician, but also a good-hearted person who treated others with kindness and respect. Those who knew him best will remember his gentle nature, quick wit, and generous spirit. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of hearing him play.

Nolan is survived by his mother, Ruth Nelson of Jemison; his father, Jimmy Nelson of Jemison; his sisters, Kim Smith (Brian) and Kerri Tillery (Chad), both of Jemison; his nieces, Morgan Smith and Karley Tillery; and his nephew, Colin Tillery (Ashlynn), all of Jemison.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. from the Chapel of Ellison Memorial Funeral Home with Rev. Shannon Allen officiating.

Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.

Burial will follow in the Union Springs Baptist Cemetery in Randolph, AL.

The family respectfully requests no food during this time.

Final care and arrangements entrusted to Ellison Memorial Funeral Home of Clanton, AL.
