Why VIC.IX?
VIC.IX Entertainment is a tribute to Victor “Vic” Ellis, a man whose life exemplified the profound symbolism of the number 9. As a linebacker for the Alabama Crimson Tide, Vic wore the number 9 on his jersey—a number that holds deep meaning in life.
The number 9 represents completeness, wisdom, empathy, and a life dedicated to serving others. It signifies the strength to lead with compassion and the courage to persevere through challenges. For Vic, the number 9 wasn’t just a number; it was a reflection of who he was. On the field, it symbolized his drive to give everything for his team, his unwavering determination, and his leadership. Off the field, it captured his selflessness, kindness, and commitment to uplifting those around him.
Vic’s life was a testament to these values. He inspired everyone he encountered with his faith, humility, and quiet strength. After earning his degree in communications, he continued his legacy of service as a recruiter for the University of Alabama, guiding others to discover their potential. Even when diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer at the age of 27, Vic faced his battle with remarkable dignity and resilience, embodying the completeness of character represented by the number 9.
He passed away at 28, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. VIC.IX Entertainment was created not only to honor Vic’s memory but also to uphold the values symbolized by the number he wore. It represents his love, courage, and unwavering belief in the power of lifting others up. Through this company, we carry forward his spirit and ensure that his legacy lives on as a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.
