The Rose Man" Nixon, 64, brought smiles to the faces of many women with his wares, selling roses at countless St. Louis nightclubs for years, while decked out in his trademark red suit.
It ended violently early this morning. Nixon was selling roses at the Soft Touch Lounge in Washington Park, Il. around 3 a.m. when shots were fired into the club, hitting Nixon and another patron.
Nixon died at St. Louis University Hospital today; the injured patron is being treated.
In a 2005 interview with the Post-Dispatch, Nixon said he hadn't turned a profit in over 30 years of selling roses and teddy bears. "I just work. I do it for love, really."
Rest in peace, Rose Man
