Resident of the Month

As our Resident of the Month, David Hix joined Legacy alongside his beloved wife, Connie, refusing to leave her side as she bravely faced an unexpected brain tumor. If you were lucky enough to know David and Connie, you already know their love story was the kind people hope for, but few are fortunate enough to experience.

Before Legacy, David served in the United States Marine Corps and also dedicated an impressive 43 years of service to Hewlett Packard/Agilent.

Now, if you’ve met David, you know the grandkids call him “Grumpy” Pop, but don’t let that fool you. Beneath it is a soft-hearted, quietly funny, and incredibly devoted man. Whether it was for his wife, his kids, grandkids, or now his friends at Legacy, David is the kind of person who shows up, stands strong, and would do absolutely anything for the people he loves (including a surprise Krispy Kreme Party).
During his time here, David has made lasting connections, shared plenty of laughs, and kept everyone on their toes(walkers) with his quick wit. While he’ll be leaving Legacy to return to independent living, we’re quite certain this isn’t the last we’ll see of him as he promised to visit often (and plans to get Dan to Bingo).
From the Hix, House and Powell Family:
For our Connie (Chit Chat, Con-Con): We hope to continue making you proud every single day. We find comfort knowing you are with our sweet Miller and watching over us until we get there. Love Always.
“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
And to the Legacy team, thank you for the unwavering care, compassion, and kindness you’ve shown our family. It has meant more than words can express and will never be forgotten.
