Scott Nix met his Savior early Thursday morning, Dec. 17, 2015, after hosting his well known TCU sports interview show, KillerFrogs.com. He was 56 years old. A celebration of Scott's life will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 22, at AP Ranch, 1590 FM 2871, Fort Worth. You are encouraged to wear tailgate purple! Memorials: In lieu of flowers, the family has requested to please dedicate gifts to Watermark Community Church, 3345 Winthrop Ave., Fort Worth, Texas, 76116. Scott was not only anchor, but part owner and founder of KillerFrogs.com. He most importantly was a gregarious, fun, loving husband, dad and follower of Jesus Christ. Scott was born in Dallas to Judy Cox and W.C. "Dub" Nix. He graduated from Garland High School in 1978 where his passion for football earned him a scholarship to play football at TCU for Coach F.A. Dry from 1978-1982. He was a proud letterman and watched his brothers play for TCU as well. His love for all things TCU sports was eclipsed only by his growing faith in Jesus Christ. Scott was instrumental in being a part of the core group that help gather friends to launch the Watermark Community Church that is growing rapidly in the renovated Ridglea Theatre in Fort Worth. He served in every way possible. Most important to Scott was that he became more like Christ and demonstrated Christ's love and care to those he had influence over. He was humble and understood his own imperfections even as he joyfully embraced God's forgiveness and leadership in his life. Because of Jesus, Scott wanted more than anything to love his wife and daughters well. He leaves a legacy of a man who was listening to a voice greater and wiser than himself. He leaves friends and family who love him and want to be as joyful as they saw Scott follow his Savior. Survivors: In addition to his wife, Kelly Kennimer Nix, Scott was father to Kameron Nix of Austin, Kalison Nix attending Biola University, and Whitney Wright attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; his parents, Judy Cox Teal and W.C. "Dub" Nix and his wife, Carolyn; siblings, W.C. Nix and his wife, Jennifer, Tammy Nix Adcock and her husband, Brad, and Preston Nix and his wife, Mary Beth, and their families.

I am so sorry for your loss, There was not a time when Scott would come into Dickies to see my boss that he did not have a smile on his face and a kind word to say. We were all blessed to call him Friend.

Scott was one of the salesmen that I worked with at A&E in customer service. I was absolutely devestated when I heard the news. He was always funny and seemed to make you laugh even when you didn't want to. He always talked about Kelly and his girls. I will miss him greatly and miss hearing that big teddy bear voice on the other end of the phone. We have all lost a wonderful friend and a great co-worker. My heart goes out to Kelly and the girls. I will keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot begin to express how deeply saddened I am by the loss of Scotty Nix. His zeal for life, ability to make people laugh, love for TCU and Killer Frogs, and passion for Christ were only a few attributes that made him a loving father to his beautiful daughters and precious wife Kelly. Although I know that Scotty is dancing at the throne of glory with his Lord and Savior, probably dressed in "royal purple," the loss will be felt by all who loved him. May we show you honor tomorrow Scooter as we celebrate a life well lived for Christ at your final tailgate farewell for you!!! Kneeling at the cross in prayer for Kelly, Kameron, Kalison, Whitney, WC, Carolyn, Judy, Dubber, Preston, Tammy, and their wonderful families. With deepest sympathy, Lisa Hall

Love you my sweet cousin. So thankful for our recent visit. Rest in peace my dear until we meet again.

My heart hurts for the lose of my cousin, however, I know he is at peace with our almighty savior. I am so thankful for our visit on December 10th when he and Kelly came to my high school musical in Pittsburg and spent the night in my home. Scotty and I stayed up until 2am talking and sharing many wonderful memories we experienced as children. He shared so much with me and for that I am so grateful! Rest in peace my dear until we meet again.

Scotty, you were the best friend a man could ever ask for and I will always remember our annual trip to a TCU game.

Thanks for breathing some life and fun into Killerfrogs and helping make our site, the best college fan site on the internet. Your vision and energy will be sorely missed.

It won't be the same, sitting at Lupton Stadium this spring and watching the Frogs play baseball. At least when they throw out those free chicken sandwiches between innings, I might get one now.

Seriously, I'll miss you my dear friend and brother. You were one of a kind.

Scott, we are so lucky to have met you and have you as a friend! You were such a shining example of a man! Your love for everybody around you, whether you knew them or not, was felt immediately. Oh how we will miss those bear hugs, your joyful voice, and your craziness! Rest in peace, dear friend!
