Hunter NIXON

NIXON, Hunter Hunter Nixon, age 23 of John Creek Georgia, died tragically in an automobile accident on November 8, 2014. A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2014, at Peachtree Presbyterian Church with Dr. Mark Crumpler officiating. Robert Hunter Nixon was born on August 13, 1991, in Atlanta, Georgia and he was the bright shining light of our lives. He graduated from Johns Creek High School in 2010 and studied at Georgia Southern University where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity. Hunter packed so much in his short life of 23 years...if he decided to learn something new he would work at it and practice until he could actually be good at it...example..when he was little he really could not dance...but he would get in front of the mirror with his favorite music (Usher when he was young) and he found his rhythm and became a awesome dancer. He loved to play the guitar and decided to teach himself...he then added singing to his passion and as you can ask his friends he would sing his heart out even when he wasn't the best. As time went on he actually became better!! We are giggling right now thinking about the rough beginning times of his short music career. Hunter LOVED movies...all kinds of movies and he got that love from his Dad. Many of his friends would tell you that he was quite the philosopher...he read dozens of inspirational books and would try to uplift his friends with the messages he gained from his readings. Hunter spent many of his earlier years playing baseball and his Father will always cherish the many years he coached Hunter and his friends in baseball. He was an exceptional snow skier and other loves and talents included skateboarding, wakeboarding and most of all spear fishing in the Bahamas...he LOVED the Bahamas and shared his love with many of his buddies that came to visit with him. Hunter had the biggest heart and we will never be able to fill the emptiness in our hearts from his loss. It has been said that God does not take people away from us, he receives them...Sometimes a soul grows so full of love that it becomes too much for this world and its only resolve is a heavenly host can hold it. We believe this is true of our beautiful boy Hunter Nixon. Hunter's heart was so full of love and he shared it freely with all he came in contact with. His love for his girlfriend he always referred to as "my Andie" is hard to describe...he cherished and enveloped her with the most complete and amazing unconditional love. Hunter is survived by his parents, Kathy and Bruce Nixon; his devoted girlfriend Andie Strangi; sister Natalie Nixon, sister Heather DeFoor and brother-in-law Wesley DeFoor, brother Ryan Nixon; grandmother Nancy Zebrak (Nana) and her partner Clifford Winkfield, grandmother Catherine Nixon (Grandma), and grandfather M.L. Zebrak; uncles and aunts Janice and Brian Williams, Rick and Rhonda Zebrak, Mike Nixon, and Sean Smith; cousins Brandon and Sarah Williams; nieces and nephews Morgan, Courtney, and Whitney DeFoor, Olivia Mahony, and Taylor and Tristan Nixon.
