Dale Nixon passed away peacefully and entered into glory on June 19, 2025, age 73. He was born on July 13, 1951, in McAllen, Texas and attended Carroll High School in Corpus Christi. Dale had an entrepreneurial spirit. In the early 1980’s, he started Hunting International, where he took large hunting groups to Northern Mexico to hunt white-winged dove. In 1987, he became involved with Sheraton Fairway Resort, a premier international hotel, where many meetings were held and memories made. In 1995, he bought Hidalgo County Abstract & Title which later became LandtitleUSA Inc. where he wrote and modernized title insurance software. It is still in operation today. Later, he began ranching and greatly enjoyed raising and working Beefmaster cattle. Nixon Beefmasters received the distinguished honor of being named New Member of the Year in 2010 by Beefmaster Breeders United (BBU) for his exemplary efforts. His greatest passion was spending quality time at the ranch with his grandchildren & great-granddaughter enjoying the great outdoors. He always looked forward to traveling to Houston to have dinner at his favorite restaurant with Brendan & Addison. Dale spent the last months of his life traveling to Caroline’s horse shows and Elizabeth’s gymnastics competitions. He was also known for his sharp sense of humor and one-liners, the most memorable being: “It’s a great life if you just don’t weaken.” It was more than a saying, it was the way he lived.
