  1. It breaks my heart to hear about Harold. Words cannot begin to express the gratitude, love, respect, loyalty, and unselfish generosity he showed me throughout my life. After my daddy passed, I once told him I felt like I had no one to turn to. He looked at me and said, “Yes you do. You have me.” I will never forget that. I’m so thankful he has come home to be laid to rest in the place he loved so deeply. Prayers for Carol Ann and the entire Nix family during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

        Mr. Nix was an incredible individual. I had the pleasure of working with him during my junior and senior years of high school, and I’m forever grateful for the scholarship he awarded me to support my journey at UTA.

        He also shared a special friendship with my father, Curtis Wilson—one built on respect, loyalty, and genuine care. He wasn’t just a friend, but someone my dad truly valued and trusted, and that meant a great deal to our family.

        We are sending our deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time and in the days, months, and years ahead.

    • Mr. Nix was incredibly kind to my dad. He helped Dad out of a very tight spot.

      They’d shared an experience back in the early 60s, and apparently Mr. Nix had the memory of an elephant with a Rolodex. The moment Dad called, as busy as Mr. Nix was, he dropped everything to help. No hesitation, no “let me check my calendar,” just action.

      I’m deeply grateful. In a world where people forget your name five minutes after meeting you, Mr. Nix remembered a moment from many years ago and showed up. That kind of loyalty and character is rare.

      God bless you. Most importantly, always remember Jesus loves you.

      _For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God._ — Ephesians 2:8

    So sad about the news of Mr. Nix passing. My Papa Olen would talk about My Dad and Harold growing up together as young kids . He was like a Brother to my Dad (Billy Joe Smith). Before my Dads passing he talked about his childhood and through out the years of his close friendships and how good a friend Harold was to him💙 He was a very kind and caring man who will be missed by many. To have know him was an honor . My Prayers go out to to Carol Ann and Nix Family . 🙏 Billy Joe and Jo Ann Smith Family

  33. Mr. Nix was a wonderful customer and friend to Stillwater Inn. I loved visiting with him as he shared anecdotes and appreciation for all the blessings this life afforded him. I would launch a little paper boat with a candle on the Devils River in his honor, as it was a place sacred to him. May his family be shrouded in grace with his temporal passing.
