John Baldwin wrote a sympathy message

“Christopher and family: you have my deepest sympathy. Nix was an amazing man, a proud parent and one of the best Corrections people I have ever worked with. He impacted Iowa in ways that are still felt today. His stay at the Iowa State Penitentiary is the stuff of legends. He was way ahead of his time. I will always have found memories of Nix. My thoughts and prayers are with you. John Baldwin IDOC from 1977 to 2015.”
