We all need to laugh and smile tonight or this morning, whenever it may be that you’re looking at this post.
Louis Nix is gone from the earth far too soon at just 29 years old and leaves behind a legacy that certainly won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Nix was an absolute stud of a football player and I don’t want that to be forgotten. Manti Te’o got the press clippings for the memorable 2012 Notre Dame team but you can’t convince me Nix wasn’t just as valuable that season (see Stanford and USC goalline stops if you disagree).
He will be remembered by many for his smile that seemingly never left his face however and perhaps never was it bigger on the football field than when Nix played quarterback on a two-point conversion try during Notre Dame’s 2013 spring football game.
Rest easy, Irish Chocolate. And thanks for the smiles and memories.
