Don Nix

I was extremely saddened while searching the internet for information about Don to learn that he passed into the Universe in 2020. It seems not that long ago that I spoke with him. Don truly was one-of-a-kind person. We both graduated from Texas Tech University, and SMU School of Law where Don and I roomed together at two different locations. I recall that in our last year of Law School I saw art supplies under his bed. He said that he had developed an interest in Japanese art after visiting...

Don and Ann were classmates at Texas Tech way back in 1957 to 1961, and friends afterward, but eventually lost touch and the years go by. So sad to hear this, and send my best wishes and condolences to Ann and family.

Don and I were fraternity brothers in college. He was a handsome, articulate and intelligent young man and widely admired. Our paths crossed later in Dallas, when we were young attorneys, again later in Washington, D.C., and then later again in Dallas where he was represented by Ruel Askew gallery. His life was a remarkable journey of intellectual pursuit. A memorable man indeed. My sympathies to Ann and his family.

I just heard the news of Don passing. I am saddened. Don and I were great friends at Hobbs High School and we loved dancing and laughing together. We got to visit again at our 50th High School Reunion. He would come by and whisper: ("These people look old")!! He was always fun and funny and brilliant. RIP Don You were always a joy to everyone.
