Terrell (Terry) Eugene Nix, age 56, died early Monday morning, October 7, 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.
