Nolen Weldon

Nolen Weldon,70, of Pitkin, LA passed away April 18th, 2026, in Lake Charles, LA. He was born September 16, 1955, in DeRidder, LA to the late Morris Weldon and Doris Deason Self.

Nolen worked thirty-five plus years at Boise Cascade before he retired. He loved working in his yard and tinkering in his shop before health issues slowed him down. He loved watching old westerns and picking on his guitar. He was a member of Smyrna Baptist Church his whole life.

He is survived by his wife of thirty-eight years, Kim Cole Weldon of Pitkin, LA; his son, Cade Weldon and wife, Breanna of Moss Bluff, LA; his sister, Judy Weldon of DeRidder, LA; the two greatest joys of his life, his granddaughters, Blake and Palmer; his mother-in-law, Belva Sue Ryan and many other family members and friends who will miss him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his oldest son, Jody Michael Weldon; sister-in-law, Keleigh Cole Mooney; his fathers-in-law, Sammy Cole and Tom Ryan.

Nolen was a quiet, simple man so his request was a private graveside service at Smyrna Cemetery at a later date. Cremation has been entrusted to Myers Colonial Funeral Home and Crematory in DeRidder, LA.
