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 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 local family were 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.

Otters complete home sweep of Crushers
The Otters were searching to provide offensive run support and did just that behind starter Tyler Beardsley.
Both starting pitchers settled in the first inning with a scoreless frame for each side, but both teams matched each other with a run in the second inning.
In the top of the second, Lake Erie had runners on first and second with one out when Karl Ellison doubled to score Jake Vieth from second base.
The Otters tied the game right back at one when Hunter Cullen hit a two-out RBI single with runners on first and second in the bottom half of the inning.
Evansville grabbed a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the fourth as Cullen delivered with his second RBI knock of the night, driving in Dakota Phillips and Jack Meggs.
The Otters extended their advantage to 4-1 on an RBI single by Meggs in the bottom of the fifth.
In the top of the sixth, the Crushers had an opportunity to get back in the game with the bases loaded and one out, but Beardsley struck out consecutive batters to strand the bases loaded.
Meggs extended the Otters’ lead further with his second RBI of the night, pushing the Otters’ lead to 5-1 after seven innings.
The Crushers would bring it back to a three-run deficit on Jack Vieth’s solo home run in the top of the eighth inning off Otters reliever Michael Gizzi, who was in his second inning of work.
Otters reliever Cam Opp closed out the game in the top of the ninth, earning his first save of the season.
Beardsley picked up the win, moving his record to 7-3, after going 6.2 innings pitched with 12 strikeouts while surrendering just one run.
Lake Erie starter Jake Repavich took the loss, moving his record to 4-5, after pitching six innings and allowing four runs.
Offensively, Elijah MacNamee went 2-3 with three runs, Meggs was 3-4 with a pair of RBIs, and Cullen was 2-3 with three RBIs.
Concluding the homestand, the Otters will travel to Washington, Pa. to begin a three-game series over the weekend against the Washington Wild Things Friday.
First pitch for Friday’s series opener is at 6:05 p.m. CT.
Gov. Holcomb announces more than $22 million for broadband expansion
Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced $22.1 million in funding for 11 broadband expansion infrastructure projects across the state as a part of the initial round of the Next Level Broadband program.
“Hoosiers need affordable, quality internet regardless of where they live, work or go to school,†Gov. Holcomb said. “Access to broadband brings countless opportunities and that’s why I’m excited to see these key infrastructure projects positively impact economic development, health, agriculture and quality of life.â€
This funding will provide broadband infrastructure to more than 4,800 homes and commercial locations in 12 counties.
The $100 million Next Level Broadband program is the largest single state investment in broadband. For the initial round of funding, service providers could apply for up to $5 million per project to expand service to unserved areas if they provided at least a 20 percent match. Unserved areas are those without at least one telecommunication provider offering internet fast enough to provide the most basic services – at least 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload.
In addition to the $22.1 million awarded through Next Level Broadband, the seven telecommunications providers and utility cooperatives contributed $14 million in matching funds, resulting in $36.1 million total investment for broadband.
“I’m thrilled to think about how many communities in unserved areas will get access to broadband through this grant program,†Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch said. “Gov. Holcomb’s Next Level Connections initiative is a significant step towards bridging the digital divide and bringing greater opportunities for all Hoosiers.â€
Gov. Holcomb asked Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, along with the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, to oversee the application program.
OCRA received applications for 64 projects, and a multi-agency committee reviewed the proposals based on the Next Level Broadband program objectives.
For more information on the selected proposals, visit ocra.in.gov/nlc.htm or click on the project name listed below.
Next Level Broadband is part of Gov. Holcomb’s $1 billion Next Level Connections infrastructure program, which accelerates the completion of major highway projects, expands access to rural broadband services, creates more nonstop flights and pursues the expansion of rail projects in northwest Indiana.
The following applicants will provide unserved areas levels of up to one-gigabyte download and upload service, the highest speed available on the market.
