He was born in Mcalester Oklahoma on February 24, 1984 to Carl Alan Tedrick and Jennie Dee Nix.
Chris was raised by his grandparents Jimmie and Dorothy Nix who adopted him when he was just a baby, and he learned to work hard. At the age of 14 he was out of school, on his own and working hard in the oil fields. He was the type of man that took pride in speed and efficiency in his work, who rarely asked for help. If the job was dangerous he was there, so as that his coworkers were not put into harm’s way, and when it was needed he even saved a few lives while on the rig. Chris would show the world his toughness, but he hid a soft side under his rough exterior, which came out to his family. His children were everything to him and he would give them the world when he could. In his spare time Chris enjoyed listening to music, going fishing, skydiving, and doing carpentry work.
Chris is survived by his wife Amy Nix, by 2 sons Nathan Nix and Ryan Nix, and by a daughter Natalie Nix all of Mcalester Oklahoma as well as by his sister Deanna Woodard of Ft. Worth, Texas and by several cousins and dear in-laws.
He was preceded in death by his parents Carl Tedrick and Jennie Nix, by adoptive parents Jimmie and Dorothy Nix, and by his grandmother Hannah Brumely.
