Child's death
brings grief
by Sharon Turco
LORAIN -- Four-year-old Jessica Nixon keeps
asking where her big brother is. Her
mother doesn't know how to tell her he's never coming back.
Jessica's brother, Daniel Nixon, 6,
died Thursday. He was hit by a car as he
went to buy ice cream for himself and Jessica.
"Danny and Jessica came running
inside yesterday asking for money to buy ice cream," Stephanie Nixon
recalled of the moments before she lost her son forever. "Jessica stayed inside and Danny went to
get it. The next thing I knew, I heard
tires squealing."
Mrs. Nixon glanced behind her, taking
in the framed photograph of a smiling boy that hung on the wall there. "My heart skipped a beat," she
said. "I knew something happened to
him."
Danny's brief life came to an end at
2:30 p.m. Thursday, when he ran into the path of a car driven by a 63-year-old
Lorain man as the little boy was on his way to Chapman's Food Mart, his little
hands clutching the dollar or so his mother had just given him.
"I ran onto the porch and saw him
lying there," Mrs. Nixon said.
"I just wanted to hold him."
Adam Olgin, a neighbor of the Nixons
and a nurse who was eating lunch in Chris' Cafe, rushed to Danny before Mrs.
Nixon could get to him and began frantic but vain efforts to revive him, Mrs.
Nixon said.
Those attempts, and the efforts of
paramedics, couldn't make the little boy stable enough to be flown by
helicopter to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland. He was taken to Lorain Community/ St. Joseph
Regional Health Center, where he was officially pronounced dead two hours
later.
The accident has ravaged not just the
Nixon family, but also the man who hit little Danny.
William Clawson of 303 Florida Ave. was
driving north on West Erie Avenue on his way to work when the cars in front of
him suddenly started swerving.
"I tapped my brakes, but I
couldn't see why they were stopping," Clawson said. "All of a sudden a little boy was
there."
Yesterday, learning that Danny
had died, Clawson put his head in his hands.
"Oh my God," he said, his voice barely a whisper. "What have I done? I tried to avoid him."
Clawson said Danny rolled off his 1988
Mercury Tracer, coming to a stop in the street not far from his car.
"I could hear screams coming from
across the street as I checked his pulse," Clawson said.
Danny's grandmother, Kathleen Stotzer,
heard Clawson's cries and called 9-1-1 before running to her daughter's side.
"I had such a bad feeling about
it," Mrs. Stotzer said. "Only
a minute before he was laughing, saying he wanted ice cream."
A preliminary investigation indicated
that Clawson was not driving faster than the posted speed limit of 35 mph. No citations have been issued, said Lorain
Police Sgt. Jack Fleming.
"The boy just ran out in the
middle of the road without looking first," said Fleming. "Several cars swerved and missed him,
but Clawson just couldn't see him."
A memorial fund has been set up in
Danny's name at Star Bank branches.
For Danny's mother, there is, perhaps,
one consolation, however slight: She was
able to say goodbye to her little boy.
"The hospital said he didn't know
I was there, but he did," Mrs. Nixon said.
"His eyes blinked right before he died. He knew I was holding him."

Submitter's Notes: My copy of this obituary was of terrible
quality. Throughout the entire obituary
each letter was surrounded with tiny dots.
Using google to ascertain names of places and businesses, I think most
of my translation here is correct. Some
words I could not figure out at all as noted below.
*I think this is DOE but not positive.
** This city was not capitalized and may
not be spelled correctly. Dolores was
from LINDENHURST. Looking at U.S. Public
Records Index, Volume 1 at her son David, one address given for him is also
LINDENHURST.
*** I know
this is wrong. Nothing like this appears
as a location in Wisconsin, but this is what it looked like to me.
**** These I could not figure out at all.

sister Patricia, this name is given as Patricia
