We are sad to announce that Dan Nix, as we all knew him, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 14th, 2023 after a brief illness.
Dan is survived by his beautiful wife of 30 years, Gayle. He was a loving father to daughter Paula Hevey (Matt), stepdaughter Angie Sparks (Michael), stepson Lee Harden (Brandie). Four sisters, Lynda Snider, Candy Godfrey, Judie Butterfield and Holly. Dan was also a proud Papa to his grandchildren Brittany Bell (Rob), Cheyenne Hevey, Aiden Hevey, Erin Sparks (Dominik), Erica May (Tim), Dakota Davis-Harden, Lillian Harden, Owen Harden, and Wade Harden. Dan also had nine great-grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his mother, Hattie Mae Nix, father Floyd Nix, and brother Mike Nix.
Dan was an avid football fan and loved the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He always knew how to make people laugh with his quirky sense of humor. He was of Christian Faith. His belief in God never wavered. Dan was an avid reader and collector of coins. He loved watching his children, grandchildren, and great-children grow in their accomplishments. Dan would talk to anyone that would listen about all the things his grand and great-grandchildren were accomplishing. He was so proud of his family.
