Gerry Thomas Nix

Gerry Thomas Nix went to be with his Lord and savior on November 19, passing peacefully at his home in Cowpens, SC. He was born in Spartanburg SC to the late William Edward Nix and Ruth Evelyn Simpson Nix.

Gerry proudly served in the United States Air Force, a commitment that reflected his strength, discipline, and love for his country. After his military service, He retired from Norfolk Southern Railway. He was a faithful member of Fairforest Church of God, where he also served as a custodian for 39 years. Gerry loved spending time with his wife and friends at his winter home in Florida.
