Speaking from my heart Rev. Fred Dixon Jr. was one of the few Great men that I've known in my life, I grew up in his house (friends with Janet Lynn); Rev was a man of deep beliefs, a true Godly Man, there was no true faithful labor of God than he, a great leader at home in his Church and his community to sum it up I can say from my 50yrs of knowing him there is no other like him..Matthew 25:21
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

There is an old hymn we sing He knows just how much you can bear God will not put no more on you than what you can bear.

God is good ALL of the time! My heart, thoughts and prayers are going out to the entire family. Pastor lived the life he loved and life the that life that he lived. He was a true soldier in God's army. He led many souls to Christ and for that, God is pleased. The other day, He called him from labor to reward. Lift up your heads O ye gates and be lifted up ye everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in. He's with the King. He has also joined that great cloud of witnesses encouraging us to press on and see what the end is going to be. I was blessed by knowing him through my late father Rev. J.T . Holcombe, Sr. I know that they are rejoicing in the presence of the Lord! May the Lord hold and heal your hearts at this time and in the days to come. Be blessed.

Yes, he will rest easy, knowing that he served the Lord to the very best of his ability and it shall not be in vain.
