Obituary Of Gerald Keith Nix

Obituary Of Gerald Keith Nix

Gerald Keith Nix marched triumphantly through the Gates of Heaven on Wednesday, August 7, 2019, his mission on earth fulfilled. There is a great celebration in the divine realm as the trumpets resound with joy, welcoming him to his eternal life. A delegation, led by his mother, Nancy, has been impatiently awaiting his arrival.

A beautiful spirit, Keith was an inspiration to all who knew him. Given little chance of seeing his first birthday, he proved to be a miracle child of God who finally succumbed to all his ills at the age of 57. He was preceded in death by his father, Gerald in 2012 and mother, Nancy in 2004.

Always happy to see friends and family, he never complained about his pain, possibly because he didn’t know what it was to be pain-free. His love for everyone knew no bounds and was unconditional. He held and rocked countless babies who grew up adoring him and then brought their babies to him for his loving touch.

Dogs were a favorite and he was always eager to have them sit on his lap. He helped raise Sammie, Lucy, Chloe, Chip, and Sadie Mae. His extended canine family included Annie and Katie of Santa Claus, IN.

Keith’s final years were happy ones – bowling on his Wii was a favorite pastime along with the daily typing on his typewriter and shredding no longer needed documents, managing his extensive telephone collection, going to day camp, and, most importantly, sharing in countless family celebrations and outings.

Keith is survived by uncles, aunts, and cousins who were blessed to be a part of his family and privileged to share his life. He will be missed most, perhaps, by his cousin Tracy, of McCordsville, IN and her children, Isabel and Nicolas with whom he lived the past seven years. Also caring for and providing comfort to him during those years were his Aunt Carol, of Fishers, IN and her family, Leo, Evan and Lydia, and his cousin Wendy also of Fishers and her family, Paul, Brad, Madelyn, and Natalie. Tracy’s son, Christopher, and his family, Abby, Jaycie and Evelyn were instrumental in caring for Keith, as well. Tracy could always count on Cousin Jill (Louisville, KY) to care for Keith when the local family was unavailable.

The family is profoundly grateful to all those who brought Keith happiness through the years and who helped shape his life. Your kindness and thoughtfulness have been a blessing.

Services will be 10 A.M. on Monday, August 12, 2019, at Koehler Funeral Home in Boonville, Indiana with Pastor Glen Flowers officiating. Burial will be at Maple Grove Cemetery in Boonville, Indiana.
Visitation will be held from 2 P.M. until 8 P.M. on Sunday, August 11, 2019, and from 9 A.M. until the time of service on Monday at the funeral home.
