Shannon Jason Minix

October 13, 1954 – November 3, 2026

Shannon Jason Minix, 72, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2026, surrounded by family and his favorite music.

Shannon was born on October 13, 1954, in Sawyersville, Kentucky, to Cecil Minix and Monnie Dyer Minix.

Shannon loved the freedom of the open road and could often be found riding his Harley wherever life took him. He also enjoyed playing billiards with friends and strangers alike, often sharing laughter and being the jokester of the group. He had a green thumb and a kind heart. A skilled machinist and natural handyman, he was happiest when working with his hands and tinkering in his garage.

Shannon was preceded in death by his parents, Cecil Minix and Monnie Dyer Minix, and his siblings, Teresa Minix Allen and Ronnie Minix.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Candace Nix; son-in-law, Caleb Nix; and granddaughter, Zoey Brooklynn Nix. He is also survived by his cherished sister, Carol Moon-Salazar.

Shannon also shared a special bond with his former wife, Patti Beatty, who remained an important part of his life.

Additional surviving family members include his daughter, Shelly Kosmet, and her children, Briar Kosmet and Jarek Campbell.

In accordance with Shannon’s wishes, no formal funeral service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) at www.bacaworld.org in his honor.

May he forever ride free on heaven’s open highways.
