Jeffrey "Jeff" H. Dixon, passed away on Tuesday, November 21, 2023. He was born on August 12, 1948 to the late Herman and Roberta Dixon.
Jeff is preceded in death by his father, Herman Dixon; Mother, Roberta Dixon; Sisters, Marcella Dixon and Eleanor Skowronski.

Jeff served in the Army from 1969 – 1971 and was stationed in Germany during that time. After his service, he studied computer programming at Columbus State Technical Institute and worked as a Computer Programmer for Sears & Roebuck, Gold Circle, and he most recently retired from Nationwide Insurance after 29 years working as a Systems Programmer. While working at Nationwide, Jeff met Ruth and they were married in November 2019. They loved to stay active and travel together, spend time with their dogs, and riding their electric bikes together often. He loved family history and was well known as our family's historian. He spent countless hours researching family names, finding obscure gravesites of our decedents, and keeping our family tree up to date. Jeff was most well known for being a family man. He loved spending time with his kids and adored his grandchildren. He also was very close with his extended family and loved spending time with his sisters, brother, and cousins. He most of all loved to joke around and make people laugh, he was well known for his dad jokes. Jeff was most well known for being a selfless man who would go out of his way to help anyone in need. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
