John was an excellent person. I had the privilege to meet him as a young medical student working at Sparks when he was a resident. He was an outstanding resident-teacher and a role model to the kind of physician I wished to become. I'll always remember 5am hospital breakfasts and making the rounds with him in the very hospital where I was born. Though I lost contact with him after those years, they serve as a reminder of the goodness that was brought to the world in Dr. Nolen.
- Dying, Christ destroyed our death.
Rising, Christ restored our life.
Christ will come again in glory.
As in baptism John put on Christ,
so in Christ may he be clothed with glory.
Here and now, dear friends, we are God's children.
What we shall be has not yet been revealed;
but we know that when he appears, we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.
Those who have this hope purify themselves
as Christ is pure.
Dr.Nolen was a wonderful doctor. He always took the time to slow down, listen, and answer all my many questions. He was always patient and kind. I feel extremely privileged to have had him as my doctor. His love for his family was evident in all the family photos he hung on his wall. I am certain he will be missed by all those he served. - Amy Terjak
Dear Dr. Nolen family: I have only seen Dr. Nolen for a short time since Dr. Vickery's passing but he left a special mark on my life. As a cancer survivor myself I had a certain concern for him at my last visit. I admire the fact that he continued to work during this trying time. I had ask him how long that last treatment would be and he told me "until it gets me." That just broke my heart. He was so caring and kind each time I saw him. He still saw his patients until he no longer could. He always did it with a smile.Prayers to all of his family and friends.
Dr. Nolen was a wonderful doctor. I have gone to him for the last 16 years. Always kind, always understanding. He will be missed! Rested easy!
Sympathy to Shawee and Wayne. Sorry for your loss Joyce Hightower
I have been a patient of Dr. Nolen for many years. He has been a bright light in my life as I am sure he has been in every patient he cared for. He will be missed tremendously by all. May his precious family find comfort in the memories they hold in their hearts.
My husband, sons, and I were longtime patients of Dr. Nolen - since he was in his old location in Springdale. He was the best physician, and always so upbeat and happy. We just learned of his passing today and feel very sad to hear this news. He was a very kind hearted man and it was a pleasure to know him.
I was a long-time patient of Dr. Nolen’s, dating back to his old location in Springdale. I found out today of his passing and I am devastated, both for me and, more importantly, his beautiful family. He was a lovely soul and will be missed immensely.
Eddie and Jeanette Thomas. We have been going to Dr Nolen ever since he started first in Springdale then moved and became Mana. He saved my husband's life in January 2019 when he discovered Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Because of his diagnosis my husband is alive today. We will miss him greatly and pray for his family
My husband and I have been going to see Dr. Nolen for almost 20 years. We were deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was such a wonderful doctor and he put me at ease for whatever I went to see him for. I'm going to miss his caring smile. I'm so sorry for your loss. There will never be another one like him and he will be greatly missed.
