Celebration of life is Wednesday for Donnie Hix

BELLS, Texas (Oct. 15, 2024) – A celebration of life for Donnie Hix will be held Wednesday, Oct. 16 beginning at 6 p.m. at Grayson County Speedway.

Hix, 38, peacefully passed away at his Bells home on Oct. 10.

He won two track championships at Bells during his IMCA career, in the Smiley’s Racing Products Southern SportMods during his 2005 rookie season and last year in the Friesen Performance Modified division.

He was also the Southern SportMod Oklahoma State champion in 2008.

Survivors include his wife Kelli and children Baylee and Easton; constant four legged companion Ollie; parents Tommy and Debra Hix; siblings Jessica Garza, Timmy Hix and Jay Wells; niece Faye and nephews Paxton and Parker; aunts and uncles Cheryl and Hal Hargis and Eddie and Shannon Doggett; and many cousins and loved ones including friends that were family.

Donnie was preceded in death by grandparents, Nina Doggett, Buddy Doggett, Flo Hix and Don Hix Sr., cousin Jerry Don Montgomery and aunt Donna Montgomery.

While remembering his love of racing and fishing, family members noted Donnie’s fondness for White Gatorade and the irony of a Gatorade truck turning across four lanes of traffic in front of them when going to the funeral home to make arrangements.

Assisting the family is the Waldo Funeral Home of Sherman. Online guests can register at www.waldofuneralhome.com

A memorial page, Donnie Hix #11 The Final Lap, is on Facebook.
