After his retirement, Don took to the outdoors to pursue his passion for biking, fishing, and gardening. Don was a gifted craftsman and flier of radio-controlled planes with the Miami Valley RC Club. Don was a walking encyclopedia; he flew planes and he knew things! He would light up like a kid on Christmas morning at any opportunity to share his knowledge and joy for all things outdoors and planes. Having accepted Christ at an early age, Don was a dedicated member of New Seasons Ministry, where he served faithfully on the Fly & Fish Ministry and Men's Ministry. A loyal and devoted husband, Don was united in holy matrimony to the love of his life, Mrs. Deborah Ann (Williams) Dixon on September 27, 2008. Together, they shared a love of music, art, and travel. He will be remembered by wife Deborah Dixon and her children; sister Faye Ragland-Dixon and her husband Dan Ragland of Davis CA; brother Steve Dixon, his wife Michelle Dixon and their children of Wilberforce OH; a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins the Spann family of Nashville TN; and friends.
