Dr. El-Roy Dixon, Sr., M.D., 66, of Leesburg, Georgia and formerly of Smailfield, St. Mary, Jamaica departed this life Friday, January 24, 2025 at his residence in Leesburg, Georgia.
Celebration of Life Service will be held on Sunday, February 9, 2025 at 1:00 P. M. in the Emanuel Seventh Day Adventist Church, 1534 W. Broad Avenue, Albany, Georgia.
Dr. El-Roy DeCourtenay St. Aubyne Dixon (January 17, 1959) was born to Lloyd Osbourne Dixon and Nerryl Barbara Thomas in his grandmother's home in Smailfield, St. Mary, Jamaica. After ailing for some time, Dr. Dixon passed away in his Leesburg home on January 24, 2025.
Dr. Dixon graduated from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan with a Bachelor's in Medical Technology. After 7 years as a medical technologist, he attended Rush Medical College in Chicago, Illinois where he obtained his doctorate with a speciality in ophthalmology. After graduation, he completed his residency at University of Chicago in Hyde Park.
In 1995, he relocated to Albany, GA for a job opportunity, with his family following a year later. Three and a half years later, he opened his solo practice Dixon Eye Care, located on Jefferson St. During his practice as an eye surgeon, Dr. Dixon became known for his exceptional surgical skills. Many patients have described Dr. Dixon as jovial with excellent bedside manner; he would take careful measures to ensure he was giving his patients the utmost care and respect while treating them for their eye ailments. They have commented on not only his positive demeanor, but also his singing of hymns and spirituals throughout the office.
Outside of his practice, his family and friends would describe Dr. Dixon as a supportive, kind, career driven man who took care of all who came across his path; it was safe to say he never met a stranger, a quality he would say he owes to his faith and religion as a Seventh Day Adventist. In his spare time, he loved to play golf, watch Sci-Fi and Kung-Fu movies, enjoy soccer games, travel at every chance he got, and spend time with his family and friends.
He is survived by his mother, Nerryl Thomas, son, Rondolph Dixon, daughter, Anastacia Dixon, and his siblings: Clover, Waverton (Robyn), O'Neil, and Bryce Dixon as well as other relatives.
Meadows Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. Send flowers to the service of Dr. El-Roy Dixon, Sr., M.D.
