Harold Dean Nix, 81, of Bridgeview, IL died Monday, November 29, 2021 in Chicago, IL.  Born September 19, 1940 in McDowell County, NC to the late Frank and Callie Geneva (Davidson) Nix.  He was preceded in death by his wife, Virginia (Loy), his son, Brian Scott, his siblings: five brothers Virgil, Dan, Lawrence, Don, and Mike Nix, and two sisters Lois Nix and Mary McCloud.

He is survived by his daughter, Candace and son-in-law Inocencio "Chato" Prado;  grandson Brandan; granddaughter Alyce, and great granddaughters Amelia and Aliza.

Dean followed the great migration north in his late teens to Boston, and later on to Chicago looking for work. He built his life and family in Chicago, but always loved returning "down home" to visit.  He was most proud of his family and the many travels he experienced in his lifetime.
