John W. Dixon

Brother Rat - on behalf of the Virginia Military Institute, we send our condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and know that we stand with you! May God bless you and your family, always.

To The Dixon Family, please know that each of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. I have some wonderful memories of time spent with the family. Your Father was a phenomenal man and a great teacher of life. I remember the talks in the front yard on Beech Dr. and at the house in Matthews County. Great, great memories that I have taken with me for a lifetime.......... Blessings to the family.......

I met John and his wife Anita about 20 years ago. They were very nice people. I remember Anita asking me if I was a "come here" or a "from here". I replied that I was a "from here". I gave provided them with several of my relatives' names. John replied, he is definitely a "from here". They invited me, a stranger, to their home and shared with me and provided me with a printed copy of his research on my family from Gwynn's Island. They also attended several of family members' funerals...

Having been raised across the street from the Dixon´s was one of my best childhood memories! Waffles and ice cream was what Mr Dixon would make Susan and I for breakfast! The summers I spent on GI were the best! I learned so much staying weeks on end at the cottage- Mr Dixon was a true gem of a man, dad, Bubba and friend to my parents! He will be greatly missed!!!!!

Amazing man! Open arms always for everyone and always with a smile and big hugs! Thoughts and prayers for all his family as you walk this path again! Loves to all!
