Robert Aubrey Dixon

He was born in Ft. Worth, Texas, on November 23, 1929, to E.A. and Mabel Dixon. He was the 5th of 6 siblings born into the Dixon family. He has two surviving sisters, Sally and Sue.

At the age of 14, Bobby decided to explore the world on his own. He later enlisted in the Navy and served from March 1951 until May 1954. He learned many different talents and skills from his numerous occupations over the years. There was very little he didn’t know how to tackle. He was a very intelligent man who completed a 6th grade education. Bobby met and married Iris in February 1972. They enjoyed 53 years of marriage until Iris’ passing in September 2025.

Iris had 2 children, who Bobby treated as his own: daughter Joan Davison and son Neil Price and wife, Pam. They delighted in their 3 grandchildren, Stephen Hernandez and wife, Randie, Amy Cook and husband, Jason, and Matthew Price. The couple was extremely overjoyed with the arrival of their 4 great-grandchildren Sydney and Sammy Hernandez and Cade and Kinley Cook. Bobby started, owned, and operated his own successful construction company, B.D. Construction, for many years until his retirement.

Bobby was loved by many and will be missed! He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church of Fate, Texas.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, April 20, 2026, at 10 a.m. at Tool Cemetery in Tool, Texas.
