Rodric D. “Rod” Nyp passed away on October 15, 2020, at the HCA Houston
Healthcare Center in Tomball, Texas, at the age of 72. He was born in
Hays, Kansas to Paul Nyp and Delora (Stull) Teasley on June 6, 1948. He
was blessed with two daughters: Kristen and Cara.
Rod grew up in Kansas and attended High School at Palco High where
he graduated with the class of 1966. Following graduation, he attended
Kansas Wesleyan University, where he studied Biology and competed for
the Track team for 3 years before enlisting in the United States Army in
1970. He served for 3 years with the Big Red 1 Infantry in Germany
before being honorably discharged in 1973. Rod had a successful career
in the Oilfield Pump business. Rod later moved to Magnolia, Texas where

Engineer.
Rod enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his
granddaughters. He also enjoyed watching sporting events like NASCAR,
Horse Racing, College Football, and Baseball. If there wasn’t a sporting
event on, he would be watching the farm channel or a history
documentary on the military. And if he wasn’t with his family, he was
listening to music, or you could catch him working outside in his yard.
