"I'm not waiting on medics ... I'm headed to the emergency room with the baby," he told a dispatcher Wednesday.
He then rushed the baby to the emergency room in his car where the doctors promptly saved his life.
Speaking to CNN, the boy's mom, Nechole Crowell said "I just kind of panicked and started crying and I was just like tell me that he is breathing"
Narrating what happened, the deputy said; "I remember praying, thanking God for putting me in the right place, at the right time for the right reason," Nix told reporters Thursday. "This was the most emotional day I've ever had in my career. It was also the scariest and the most rewarding."
