Terry Nix Obituary

Terrell (Terry) Eugene Nix, age 56, died early Monday morning, October 7th, 2019, due to injuries sustained after being struck by a motorist while walking in downtown Orlando. Born March 21, 1963 to Mary Jo Nix (Thomas) in Atlanta, Terry spent most of his life in Brevard County and later Orlando, after moving to Florida with his sister, Robin Bernal (Nix). He graduated from Rockledge High School in 1981 and enjoyed a highly successful professional career in the Central Florida printing industry, although his true passions were music, art and rock 'n' roll memorabilia. Terry expressed this passion through his businesses; Paint It Black Entertainment and Guitars of the Stars.

Terry overcame many obstacles in his early life, including the loss of his mother at age 12. He never met a stranger and was deeply loved by everyone he encountered, including a large circle of close friends and extended family. His exuberant, charismatic personality, easy smile and ability to talk to anyone drew others to him naturally and he was the heart and soul of his family. His children were the loves of his life and he was a deeply dedicated father, as well as a friend to all.

Terry is survived by his two daughters, Jordan Elizabeth Nix and Aydan Drew Nix; his son, Jordan Daniel Nix; and grandson, Jayden Chandler Nix-Knight; as well as his sister, Robin (Nix) Bernal; brother-in-law, Danny Bernal; and nieces, Devyn and Briana. Terry also shared his life with partner, Julie Morris, and bonus son, JP.

Memorial services will be held on Wednesday, October 16th at 11 a.m. at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, located at 4851 S. Apopka-Vineland Rd. in Orlando, FL. Visitation will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will continue after the services until 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation at Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Terry was one of my favorite people in the whole world. His friendship and love were always deeper and stronger than most.. I honestly don't remember crying as much for the loss of another human being.. He was my brother and friend and I will always love and miss him.. I will also thank God that I had The blessing and opportunity to feel his love and friendship..

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

You will be missed by so many people Terry. I'll always have a special place in my heart for you and never forget the day you were there with Bob & me when we lost Audrey. May you rest in peace and I hope to someday walk across Heaven with you listening to the Rolling Stones. I'm praying for your family, as I know they will miss you as we all will.

May peace and love surround your family at this time. Terry, our friendship started with all night press runs...you were always right there with the coffee and the donuts. My first day on the job- you gave me flowers and welcomed me into the world of printing. Then lunch. So like you in every way, and every friendship you have. Always giving from your heart. Lucky us to have you in life.

Years later it was a complete joy to run into you...usually at a music store or even at a gas station in Orlando....waving to each other and then a quick catch up on life and it's twists and turns. You always had something fun and exciting going on. You were an amazing human and loved immeasureably by so many.

May you Rest in Peace my friend. I will never forget you.

Terry, the couple of times I met you, be it at Terri's office or at a Magic game with your son, you were beyond nice and friendly. You were the definition of a mensch. Rest in peace.

I liked you from the minute we met... soon-after realizing we were both Pisces! You were an awesome conversationalist with a heart of gold; your generous spirit made the world abundantly better for those fortunate enough to have you in their hemisphere.
