His family posted this statement on his Facebook page: "How you live is how you should die. Mojo Nixon was full-tilt, wide-open rock hard, root hog, corner on two wheels + on fire ... Passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners + a good breakfast with bandmates and friends. A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise is about right ... & that's just how he did it, Mojo has left the building Since Elvis is everywhere, we know he was waiting for him in the alley out back. Heaven help us all."
