Glenn Nix Obituary
Talmadge was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on January 4, 1973. He graduated from Sherman High School, received a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a law degree from Baylor University where he was known for his flagrant nudity.
Talmadge happily married Stephanie Nix on September 8, 2013 barefoot on the beach in Maine.
Talmadge worked as an attorney in Sherman and McKinney for more than 18 years. He enjoyed the courtroom, debate, and shredding the arguments of others. He was known for his quick wit, creative humor, and intellectual superiority.
Talmadge is survived by his father Glenn Talmadge Jr., his mother Barbara, his wife Stephanie and a truckload of adopted street animals: Kennedy, Ophelia, Pig, Mila, Honey Bunny, and Stella.
Talmadge is also known as Tal, T-Luxe, Sir Nix-a-Lot, T-Bag, the Nixenator, Uncle Towel, and Pope Tal the Foul Mouthed.
His true love was sports. He specifically requests six Dallas Cowboys pallbearers so that the Dallas Cowboys can let him down one last time.
Talmadge hated hipsters and his wife's obsession with coconut oil. Not necessarily in that order.
Talmadge died while running into a burning orphanage to save children. Or maybe not. We all know how much he liked to tell stories.

I spoke with him a few months back as a prospective client and he was so gracious and incredibly matured in his approach.
Did not know of his passing until yesterday when I tried to reach him to schedule a visit.

Very sorry for your loss. I will definitely miss the quirky, sometimes a bit crazy, Facebook posts. I was reading back through the recent posts and found some I totally needed to argue with him on! He was definitely way too young (said by someone in his HS grad class). It was an honor to have known him and the world has lost some brightness without him.

Talmadge officed next to me in the Boardwalk Bldg. when he was a new attorney. We enjoyed his frequent visits and his smiling face. I was pleased to know his parents, and I wish you and his wife many happy memories to soften your grief. You are in my prayers.

He was a favorite customer of mine when I worked at the Medicine Shoppe. He always had a smile and always patient to wait.

How can words express the loss of this family? I know you feel it so much more than we can ever imagine, and the pain is beyond description. I lift you all up in prayer He was a truly good man, and helped many out that he never made known, as he didn't want praise for his actions. He was that kind of guy. May your pain become less as your love overcomes.
