Dear Family: Please accept my condolences for your loss. I met "Red" while helping my cousins Mark and Susan prepare the old Family Home just down your road. He would stop by and we had the most pleasant conversations for a bit. I will all ways remember him for his Kind nature and friendliness. Though only recently meeting him, I will miss him. Prayer for you and yours for the Days ahead! May our Heavenly Father comfort you!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Steve and family during this most difficult time. Mr. Nixon was a true educator, not just in school, but in the school of life. He was open, direct and honest. His old school approach of building character and molding the lives of young folks will be greatly missed. We could use more mentors of his caliber today in my personal opinion. I definitely feel blessed to have known him and had him as a science teacher.

Red Nixon was my friend. He was the friend of everyone in my family and so many. many others. His loss leaves a hole in our community with that deep feeling that things will never be the same. He touched the lives of many through his teaching, coaching, and mentorship of others. Someone said, Red had an openness about him that invited students and others to share things and seek his council. He helped many students who remember his gifts and probably will always. Red was solid, trustworthy, honest, caring, a doer, a leader, a coach, a friend, a giver, a family man, and more. He made everything he touched better. He was so often doing things to help others and always with that smile and good humor he seemed to always carry. He loved life. As we mourn his loss it is correct to say he lived a great life. He made people smile as he was so often smiling. He would do pranks and loved to create fun. One such example I heard repeatedly always laughing each time; While laying a roof he nailed my brother Carl's shoe to the rafter. How they would laugh about that. Red loved to restore old buildings and I loved restored old buildings. So much of what I committed to on returning home in the early 90's involved Red; the Columbian theatre restoration, the other 3 buildings on the Square, our home, the Fountain and more. When I started an effort to improve the town Square, Red was always a go to guy. He worked on the flower beds with bricks and dirt, street lights, sprinklers as a volunteer, never complaining and just getting it done with a group of others. I remember when we had our red carpet opening of the Theatre and I was thanking all those involved, leaving Red for the last, as the most important. He made the restoration happen. I so greatly appreciate knowing him and having his friendship. There are building or structures everywhere I turn that Red helped or made happen. We will all miss him greatly and will long remember what he did and that warm smile. Thank you Red.
