As the deputy in the 352nd court, I always liked it when he filled in as Judge. He and I got along well and I liked listening to his stories of his past in football and politics. He sure liked showing off the college football ring he got when he officiated a  past championship game. He always treated the attorneys with professionalism as well as the court staff.  I Can still hear his deep voice at lunch break "Well, Mike, it's time to head to Schlotzsky's". He said he was such a regular there that the employees started making his usual sandwich when he walked in the door. Justice Holman was the epitomy of the "very nice good guy" to all.

We are so saddened to hear of Dixon's passing.  We were out of town and just learned of it. We will miss his cheerful and friendly personality.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Sharon and your kids and grandkids.  He was such a great man and I know he will be missed.

My respect of Dixon and his wisdom put him at the top of my "Most Admired" list.
My sympathy and best wishes to the Holman family.

Dixon Holman was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was a close and trusted friend, a mentor, and one of my all-time heroes. As a judge and colleague, he was someone I always tried to emulate. He was scholarly, humble, fair, wise, kind, hardworking, and honest to a fault. His integrity was unassailable. And he had a wonderful sense of humor. I loved him and will miss him deeply!

I am so sorry to hear about Judge Holman. My prayers go out to you, Sharon, and your family. I know this is very difficult for all of you and may God's sweet peace comfort you now and forever. With Love.

J. Holman was a great person and a great judge and justice.  We, at the Second Court of Appeals, will miss his presence and his passion for the law and justice. Chief Justice Terrie Livingston

Dixon was a referee at many of my college football games. I liked to joke with him about all the times he caught me holding. He was a friend of the Estes and Elder families. He will be missed all over the America.

Dear Sharon and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Knowing Dixon and his parents was a true blessing. His wisdom and sense of justice will be greatly missed. This world is a better place because of him. He was a shining example of a true gentleman.. Love and prayers, lee cox cope

Judge Holman was a wonderful and very kind man.  He will be greatly missed by all.

A very kind and brilliant man that mentored by example from the bench. I and many others are better for having met him.
Rest in Peace, Your Honor

My prayers are with your family that you will be strong in faith knowing that your loved one is free from pain in his new home with God. He certainly left a legacy which will live on in all the hearts he touched along his life's journey. May God bless you and comfort you. ~ Lynn Jennings

Justice Holman was such a great man.  I owe him a lot.  I am truly sorry for the loss for his family.

I had the pleasure of working with Justice Holman at the 2nd Court of Appeals.  He was the kindest man with a very caring spirit.  He will be greatly missed but his wonderful legacy will live on forever.  My prayers go out to his family.  God bless.

I feel very proud and lucky to have known and worked with Justice Holman, especially remembering over the last several days since his passing: the times he talked college football, his fondness for playing the guitar and dobro, and his delight in preparing for and presenting his returning role of comic psychic (complete with purple Turban and cape!) which he performed at the annual Bench/Bar Conferences.  He enjoyed life and thankfully for us all, made a career of various forms of public service.  He was a "Judge's Judge" and a role model for us all.

I loved working with Judge Holman, he was such a good person.  I also appreciate all the help I received from him.

Sharon and family, Charles and I will never forget how kind you both were to Carrie the summer she served as an intern for Dixon while in law school. He was such a kind and gracious mentor to her and I know she learned so much while there. Our deepest sympathies to you all during this sad time.
