I worked with Dixon for a few years at Vivint. He made such a tremendous impact on my career and life outlook as a young professional. He was generous, funny, kind and incredibly wise. In a short time I gained a tremendous respect for him. There was many times I’d go home and tell my wife about how much I wanted to grow up to be like Dixon. In just a few short years he made an indelible impression on my professional and personally. He’s still the kind of man I aspire to be. My deepest condolences to the family, he was truly an incredible person.

I’m so sad to hear about Dixon’s passing. Dixon is my cousin, four years older than me. As children when his family would occasionally come to Franklin to visit, all the cousins spent most of our time outside playing on the farm. But the one thing I remember most about Dixon is he always had a smile on his face. He seemed to love life and anything outdoors. Sadly, we haven’t been in touch over the years since becoming adults and going our various ways, but I sincerely appreciated his thoughtfulness of coming all the way up to Idaho to attend my mom’s funeral (his aunt Fern) in September of 2022. He is truly a man with a good heart. I loved reading the little insights into his life in the obituary. Thank you. I wish I would have known him better as an adult. I want to send my love and condolences to all of his family. I know he will be greatly missed.

I’m the luckiest girl in the world to get to refer to you as “my dad.” Your loving encouragement, sound advice, and eagerness to share your knowledge, all delivered with your amazing sense of humor, definitely makes you a one in a lifetime type of dad and grandpa. We will never be the same without you, but we will continue to live and represent all that you have inspired and instilled in us. I love you so much and I miss you dad.
