Our Brother,
We would have never thought that we would start the New Year without our oldest brother Tinker. Our tears are tears of missing him. It still dosen't seem real for us.
We miss your grin on your face, I miss you walking thru the front door. reminding us that you are the oldest and telling us what to do.
How you always joking and have us laughing.
Time went so fast, but time waits on no one.

Tinker, you’ll be truly missed
Especially your uncanny humor and dry wit
You’ll be missed by your loved ones one and all
But you had to go to answer God’s call
There may be tears in our eyes
As we lift our heads to the skies
Our son, brother, father, cousin, uncle, and friend
We’ll never forget you ‘til our days end
Sorry you had to go
For we loved you so
As we go about our day
We’ll think of you in every way
How you brought joy in our hearts
But there’s sorrow as you depart
Tell Margaret, Samuel Daniel, and Chad hello
From their loved ones here below
We’ll all be together someday
So we can “Walk around Heaven all day”
With much love

To Beverly and the Dixon Family I would like to express my heartfelt condolences. It is hard when we loose a love one and I know that Beverly was close with all her family and loved her brothers.
Your love and faith in God will help you through the tough times but remember the good times you shared and it will help ease the void/pain you feel inside.

It has been my pleasure to have known you for the last eleven years. You had a way of making the time at work go by fast, you had a good sense of humor, a care free spirit, and you knew when to be serious. Thanks for sharing your knowledege, lagughter, and wisdom with me and all of your Bellwood family. You lived each day to the fullest, but God was in need of your sense of humor. Rest now and keep smiling down on us.
Love You

I can't really espress enough sympathy to the Dixon family in their loss of Tinker. He was one of the most genuinely kind and nice people I have met. I feel I was fortunate and blessed to have grown up around Tinker. When I last saw him just a few years ago I was so pleased to see him, since for me, it was as if not a day had passed. I was right back in the west end . Even though I had only seen Tinker once in the last several years I will miss him . He was one of the best things about my childhood and I am glad to have known him.My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family, each and every one.
