Help Honor the Life & Legacy of Dominique Nixon
With heavy hearts, we share the sudden and unimaginable loss of our dear friend, brother, and founder of Pedal Pushers, Dominique Nixon.
On what should have been a joyful Sunday Funday ride — doing what he loved most, building community on two wheels — Dominique suffered unexpected heart failure and, despite every effort to bring him back, he left this world far too soon.
If you knew Dominique, you know the kind of man he was:
✨ A larger-than-life spirit who lit up every room.
✨ A heart of gold who gave without expecting anything in return.
✨ A mentor and motivator to countless at-risk youth, showing them that they, too, belonged on this journey called life.
✨ The founder of Pedal Pushers Cycling Club, changing lives one bike ride at a time.
Dominique gave everything to his community. He lived his life lifting others up — whether it was helping someone fix their first bike, leading rides that built confidence, or simply sharing his beautiful smile and words of encouragement.
But now, we are faced with the difficult reality of giving him the farewell he deserves. Since his passing was so sudden his family and friends are left to carry these unexpected expenses.
This heartbreak is made even heavier it hasn't been a full year since Dominique’s beloved mother passed away. Now his siblings, still grieving her loss, are left to carry the unimaginable burden of laying him to rest without the safety net or access to his financial resources.
Dominique spent his life giving — to his family, to his friends, and to complete strangers who quickly became part of his cycling family. He showed up with a smile, a joke, silly dance, and a heart bigger than life itself.
But now, the very community he uplifted needs to lift him up.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP:
➡️ There are no existing funds to cover home going celebration expenses.
➡️ His siblings are navigating not only their own grief but the full weight of these final arrangements.
➡️ Every contribution will go toward funeral services, burial costs, and ensuring Dominique is honored with the dignity and love he poured into the world.
If Dominique ever encouraged you, inspired you, or made you laugh or simply shared a moment of kindness with you— we ask, with humbled hearts, that you give what you can. Whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing this message, every single act of kindness makes a difference and helps lift this burden, and allows us to honor him properly.
Let’s honor Dominique the way he lived:
✅ All heart.
✅ All love.
✅ Leaving no man or woman behind.
Thank you for standing with his family and the Pedal Pushers community during this unimaginable loss.
Donate what you can.
Share with those who knew his heart.
Keep riding, keep loving, and keep changing lives — just like Dominique did.
Let’s show up for him the way he always showed up for us.
Let’s celebrate his life, his legacy, and his light.
With gratitude and broken hearts,
Pedal Pushers CC Family/Nixon Family
