Dear Vinny, Kathy, and Sara,
May God comfort you during this time of sorrow. Dawson will be truly missed but never forgotten. He was a gentleman and an integral part of our family. I will truly miss our discussions about who was the greatest fighter of all time. He was a Joe Louis fan. May he rest in peace. May God bless you all!

Dear Sarah and the entire Dixon clan,
We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Dixon had a very special presence in our lives. With eyes as blue as the sea and his gentle spirit he was a solid being. He weathered a lot in his life and lived it on his own terms. He always encouraged me to keep moving forward and was happy for all of my achievements.
He was a true Southern gentleman and the world has lost a beautiful soul.
May he rest in peace and his spirit shine down upon us all.

Dear Sarah and family, we are saddened to hear of the loss of Mr. Dixon. He was an amazing man with a great sense of humor. I didn't get a change see much of Mr. Dixon after I moved out the area, but we would run into Sarah and him at the local Walmart from time to time. Those chance meetings meant a lot to me and my kids. He will be missed.

Sarah and family. We are so sorry for your loss. I first met Mr. Dixon at age 5 and grew to love him. He helped raise me. He was a very caring man. He inspired me to always stay on the right track and encouraged me to pursue my dreams of education. He always treated me like a son and felt proud of me. This meant so much to me. I and my family feel deeply sorry for your loss. Dawson will be greatly missed. We know he is in a better place and may his soul rest in peace.
