Sleep well Jessy. Your songs and videos bring a great atmosphere of the presence of God. I thank God for blessing the world with your music and talent.

Sleep In Peace brother, your memories live on

I just enjoy listening to Jessy's music, I am redeemed, and all the other songs he recorded.May God bless your family.

Jessy Dixon is my mentor in gospel music. I came to know him in 2014 via the gaither music videos. I've been blessed all the time I listen to his music. Some times I cried. It's unfortunate I knew him after he's gone. I finished playing his videos before writing this condolences. May his soul rest in peace.

My memories will always be awesome reminders of his music and singing. I am 81 years old and have enjoyed listening to him every day. God gave him a wonderful talent and God gave me a wonderful message.

Jessy, enjoyed your beautiful singing for the Lord on the Gathers. We will meet in Glory some sweet day.

I still love to listen to you singing on YouTube. In fact, I am listening to you as I write this. Watched you for years with the Gaithers´ group. I played your songs to my husband when he was sick and during his last days before he left me to go see Jesus.

We still watch you on the GAITHER VIDEOS AND LOVE EVERY MINUTE.

Jessy could have given Mahalia Jackson a run for the best gospel singer, for sure. I SO miss his angelic voice. I'm sure he's sitting at the right hand of the heavenly throne. He is surely missed.
