Memories and Condolences
for Devereaux Dixon
March 12, 2011
To the Dixon family. Words cannot express our heartfelt surprise and sadness at the loss of such a great man. When I came to St. James as pastor, Bro. Dixon was one of the most supportive members in the church. As I got to know him, I discovered that he was an avid golfer. On the course, he was always poised, focused, intentional, caring, and patient. He was a true lover of the game. However, I also noticed that these same traits carried over into his engagement with family, community, and church. Come rain or shine, I could always expect to see him in Bible Study on Tuesday evenings. He may not sing in devotion, but he was completely devoted to study of and discussion about the Word of God, making every effort to apply it to his own life. In fact if Bro. Dixon wasn't at Bible Study, I knew I'd better call, as something must be wrong. The way he talked about his children and cared for his wife, sister, and others at the nursing home convinced me of his love and concern for others. And anything you asked him to do, he did it with all that was within him. If he couldn't do it, he would let you know. Although I am no longer the pastor of St. James, his presence is and will continue to be sorely missed.
From the Lee household, may you family continue to be encouraged and blessed in that he is now on God's fairway giving the same attention to his heavenly stay as he gave to his earthly stay.
Stay strong and prayed up.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
