Dan was my manager at Walmart. Some of my best work memories include him. I loved to hear him and Tim bicker and fight, it was quite the show. I would tease him endlessly about his crazy dress socks and “Mr.Rogers” sweaters that he rocked every winter. I would get mad about something at work and he would start a rubberband fight with me knowing I would have to laugh. Dan made our work life enjoyable.
Dan made an impact on those around him. One thing for certain is that Dan loved his wife and daughters more than words can say. I always felt like I knew them because they were always in our conversations. Prayers for his family. I hope they find comfort in knowing how much he adored and loved them.

Dan was my youth leader, a friend, a mentor and in some ways even a father. We went on great adventures in youth group and outside of youth. Tackled the guitar together. He always found the time whether it was after school or weekends during a ruff season in my life. Dan was a great man. A man that showed the true heart of our Heavenly Father and it didn't matter who you were or where you came from. I can only wonder what he's doing in Heaven now.

What a mighty man of valor. A lover, fighter for his family, and bearer of the Fruits of the Spirit. Dan was such an example of what a father and Godly leader is supposed to be. Through my few interactions with Dan, I observed quickly his love, joy, and genuine transparency with anyone and everyone that he came in contact with. His family's love for people is an outward expression of what a phenomenal household leader, surrendered to Christ, results in. The Dixon family will continue to live and breathe the legacy that Dan has left behind; bearing the fruits of the Spirit in everything that they do. I love you, Dixon family, very much and encourage you to press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

I had the unique privilege to get to know Dan as Hayley's dad through her stories, long before I ever met him in person. From her perspective, I could see the significance of who he was to her and to their family.

Dan Dixon was and will always be known by his unconditional and unwavering love. I have learned a lot from the way he chose to live his life and love the beautiful people in it.

I pray these few memories honor and celebrate this legendary man of God and inspire us to carry on his legacy of love: https://vsco.co/spraguekayla/…

I feel something needs to be said about the college version of "Danny Dixon." I met "Danny", as he was known in college, at Eastern KY University. Danny was our fearless leader and President of the National Broadcasting Society, AERho, in the early 1980's. I was Vice President at the time. Our little "band of broadcasting brothers and sisters" was pretty tightly knit. Danny always had a great attitude and something clever to say, but at the same time, was a very good listener. His fabulous whit and huge heart were a big encouragement for our members and a big part of what made AERho so much fun!
Fast Forward 30 years.....My Mom went on one of his Horse Farm Tours a few years ago, and said Danny is what made the whole experience so enjoyable, with his vast horse "sense" and, again, quick whit.
God bless the amazing Dixon Family as you get through this. My heart and prayers go out to all of you!
Dan/Danny certainly made his memorable and meaningful mark on this world. I am proud to have called him "friend."

I enjoyed working with Dan at Walmart. He was always so much fun. He would have his picture made with Santa or the Easter Bunny. He was so tall n with his fun loving personality, he would have us all laughing so hard. I am so very sad he is gone. I know we will meet again in heaven and for that I am extremely grateful. Love n prayers to all his family.

I never met Dan, but I met the product of his wisdom in Hayley. She used to share stories about some of the things her father her had taught her. I still vividly remember her once telling me that her dad had never pressured her to be the best of the best when growing up. He told her that somebody had to be 2nd. The humility of that lesson and the remarkable freedom and security I witnessed in Hayley's life gripped me. Years later, I still treasure that lesson on humility taught by someone I had never met. Just last week, I shared with my struggling teens what Mr. Dixon had taught Hayley. I wish I could have thanked him this side of Heaven. Grace to you all.

I will forever be grateful for Dan. He was my youth pastor and he not only helped lead me to the Lord, he discipled me all throughout my teens and early adulthood. The impact Dan had on my life is still ongoing. I am who I am largely because God brought Dan into my life. He was quick witted, goofy but more than that, Dan was genuine. He was such a great teacher because he lived what he believed. I learned to love studying the Bible because of Dan. As I became an adult, Dan went from mentor to friend and it was an honor for me to lift his prayer needs to the Lord. I will always value him as a friend. I will love and miss him forever. I know he finished his race strong and I will see him again.

Dan was one of the single, most influential people in my life. He was the first person to teach me about Jesus. He was always so involved in the lives of those in his youth group. He really lived the life of love that he taught. Dan’s nickname for me was “Jenny-poo”. He’s the only person that I let get away with calling me any form of “Jenny”. Even as an adult he called me that and now I cherish those silly memories. Dan was an amazing youth pastor, mentor, and friend and I will miss him forever. ❤️

I will truly miss that friendly voice at the end of that extension call I became to rely on daily. You were a friend and awesome person. May God’s grace be with your family. RIP Dan the Man.

I can not express how sorry and heart broken I am for Dans family. I was privileged to have worked with him at Walmart. He was one of the most genuine men I have known. He was always in good spirits and willing to help you any way he could. I remember him always talking about his family and you just knew how much he loved each of them. Also his love for God was amazing.
He will be greatly missed. And I will be praying for his family.

Dan was a huge part of our MetLife family. He was on of the greatest DJ’s an office could ask for. He always had a song that would fit every situation. He always had a smile on his face which was contagious to not only his co-workers but the customers he dealt with. Dan you will be greatly missed by all of your work family. Rest In Peace. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dan was a wonderful man. He was always smiling when we would pass each other in the aisle at MetLife. He always had a great energy about him and he will be deeply missed.

Daniel and Laurie Wade

Vision, purpose, influence, conviction... only a few of the words which come to mind when I think about Dan. His creativity knew no bounds, and his enthusiasm for people and ministry was contagious. I will always be thankful for the special friendship between Dan and my husband, Daniel, as they often encouraged each other.

Dan, you lived well and loved deeply. You touched so many lives - many more than you probably knew. Although we feel your absence here, we can only imagine the joy you are experiencing in the presence of Father God. So we will celebrate (albeit, with a few tears) your arrival in heaven, and will remember you best by continuing to share the love of God with a world in need of a Savior.

Dan was a great friend and manager. He was always fun to be around. He loved life, his job, and family. He was always smiling and entertaining. He and another manager Tim Robertson were always go back and forth picking at one another. He will truly be missed.

My first visit to Lexington was to deliver a car to my son, Britt. Britt had 3 roommates, (college students)and a friend visiting from out of town. Dan, Lisa, and Hayley were gracious enough to rescue me
and welcome me into their home for the rest of my stay.
Dan "The Tour Man" took us all to see the beautiful countryside and horse farms of Kentucky. A year later Dan officiated Britt and Hayley wedding and became Britt's father-in-law. If you know Britt and Dan....it was a good fit! We couldn't have ask for a better family to love our son as we do. THANK YOU DAN! You will be missed.

I had the privilege of working with Dan for the past few years. He was a joy to work with and brought such positive energy into the workplace. His laughter was infectious and his jokes would always leave you with a big goofy smile on your face. Dan, you will be missed dearly my friend!

Dan was a special guy. He always brought humor and a special touch to the room. Every time I visited the St Louis office I could count on him making me laugh. His life here will surely be missed!

My first time ever getting to talk to Dan was when he emailed me about his secret plan for surprising Hayley for her birthday while she was away at the Honor Academy! His plans included a surprise visit, sky diving, and ending the birthday with a floating lantern send off. My very first impression of Dan was that here was a man that truly knew and loved his daughters. And also liked to have a fun time, how cool of a dad do you have to be to jump out of a plane with your 18 year old daughter?? We also used code names in every email, just in case

I have been trying to think of something to say, something to express how sad this makes me, and how heartbroken I know his family must be, but there aren't any words that I can think of, or phrases that can describe Dan in all of his Dan(ness). He was truly one of a kind and exactly the man God created him to be. I can honestly say that I am a better person for having known him. Love and prayers for his family, he could never have been who he was without each of you.

I loved Dan because he had a knack for getting everyone involved. Whether it was total strangers or long time friends. He would lean over and say “Hey just go along with this” before he started his antics.

One night at a restaurant here in St. Louis called Pieces “Sweet Caroline” came on and sure enough when the chorus came along Dan motions to us to go along with it as he shouts “SWEET CAROLINE” and as if he knew everyone at the restaurant they all respond “BA BA BAAAAA”

He always knew how to instigate fun and get everyone laughing.
