John Robert Nicholson, the son of Richard “Rick” Rowland and Linda Ann (Boyer) Nicholson, was born Aug. 27, 1969, in Corning. John graduated from Corning High School.

On May 15, 1993, John married Angela Marie Higgins at his parents’ house in Corning. Two children, Dalton and Dallas, blessed this union. John was a lifelong farmer.
