Chris Fix, Our Former Art Director

The entire Free Inquiry family mourns the loss of former Art Director Christopher S. Fix, who died of pancreatic cancer March 6, 2021, in Amherst, New York. He was only fifty-one. Fix joined our production staff in 2002 and became art director in 2008. Beginning with our February/March 2009 issue and ending with our April/May 2020 issue, Fix designed every Free Inquiry cover and designed and laid out our inside pages, including selecting most art and illustrations. He was able to return and design our August/September 2020 issue, after which he had to step down due to his illness. He also designed and produced our sister magazine, the Skeptical Inquirer, and designed promotional materials for our combined Center for Inquiry organization. A Buffalo native and graphic designer, Fix’s working style was calm, quiet, and professional. He was an avid golfer, which he enjoyed with his children. Fix leaves his parents, Norman and Dorothy Fix; his wife, Tricia; daughters, Samantha and Ava; and son, John. Our hearts go out to his family. We will miss him.
