You were my best friend and such a wonderful lover, I miss you so much Teri

Dear Dixon Family,
My heart is broken with the news about Terri's passing.  Aaron told me a couple months ago.  I have thought about Terri and how beautiful she was.  A very sweet young girl.   Terri and Aaron had a good friendship.  I have many memories of our families getting together sharing our company.  Terri will  always be in my heart.

I met Teri at mimis..  Getting to work with her made the chaos a little less ridiculous.  She was always so sweet, kind, and welcomed me as if we knew each other forever.  I am shocked that this happened.  I send love to her family as they grieve and heal.  And I send love to Teri, she brought a little bit of light into a dim time in my life.  You will be missed, girl.

She was my friend and I love her so much, she was amazing intelligent and kind, I had the privilege to know this amazing woman my heart goes with her and her family what else would I like to say?? Many good memories in Seattle she will be miss in my life...

Teri and I met when she started dating Zac, I was dating Zac's Dad.  Her adventurous spirit was infectious.  She was giving, loving and super helpful.  I will miss our chats and sharing of our creative spirit.  Your dreams of going to Seattle being part of many of our discussions as it is my hometown.  You would have been a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day there.  You will be greatly missed.  

I worked with Teri at T. Rowe Price.  Her positivity, humility, and kindness will be missed.  My sympathies to her family and all that knew her.

Teri was a fun and mysterious young girl, we were so young when we knew eachother. I'm so sorry she passed and will cherish all the moments we shared together. Sending my love to her and your family. Rest in peace beautiful...

Teri was one of the only people to ever write to me while I was in jail for almost 3 years. My family and so called friends forgot about me but Teri would write me 10 page letters with all the random stories and details. We were both interested in the same art and even shared designs for tattoos through the mail. She made my life so much brighter and easier during such a hard time in my life. I will never forget that light. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones in this moment. She is going to be sorely missed. 


I am sorry for your loss and my condolences go to everyone in the family.

Love,
Sarah Linster

My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to The Dixon Family. ❤️🙏🏻
I was blessed to know and teach Teri martial arts when she was a child.  Over the years, I have watched her grow up from afar.  I will always have great memories of the time I spent with her and her family.  RIP ❤️🥋 Black Belt #9

John, Dray Hung and Tami, we are so sorry to hear of Teri's passing.  We cannot fathom the depth of your sorrow.  We have many wonderful memories of Teri's bright smile and friendship.  We hope that your loving memories will soon outweigh your sorrow.

I met Teri about 2 years ago when Zac brought her to the house.  She was always very friendly and had a great smile.  As I got to know her a little more I discovered how helpful and generous she was.  She helped us move Zac to his new apartment even though she had a sore shoulder.  What I did not know is how talented artistically she was.  I was privileged recently to see several of her beautiful paintings.  Teri was very special and she will be sorely missed.

I met Teri Jo when we worked at Wells Fargo in 2012. She was always willing to help with a smile and share her knowledge.  In college we had the same mutual friends so we would run into each other often. I will always admire her strong work ethic and kindness. 



I remember that Teri always had a smile on her face. I took comfort in her calm voice.  Last Christmas 2019, my son Zac Ratliff brought Teri to my home for Christmas dinner.  The gift she gave me was very special and beautiful- just like she is!  It was a glass vase with beautiful vibrant tulips.  It was my favorite gift of all.  I did some research about tulips and found out that the meaning of tulips is “ perfect love”.  The tulips brightened my whole room just like Teri did.   Last spring, I planted those tulips in a garden and I can’t wait to see them bloom again.  Thank you, Teri, for being my friend and for always having the beautiful scent of a delicate flower. 

I remember the sweet shyness of her curiosity ten years ago when we last saw each other, and how delighted I was to discover that the artistic talent of our grandmother Jeanne Dixon lived through her, a talent also shared by my daughter, Hannah. Teri and I had been in touch a few years back, talking about her connecting to Hannah, who has grown up without aunties or uncles at all, and who was so excited to have an auntie who also painted (even though we were so far away in Australia). Teri was so excited to meet her again as a teenager (as she hadn’t seen her since she was 12 months old, being pushed around in a box in her living room!). I am so full of sadness that I was never able to share her journey in life, to know her, to watch her grow up, to be there to share the grief, and to celebrate the woman she became. This last week, my heart has also warmed so much to discover how much Teri was seen, and held, and loved by her friends and family in her life. It is difficult to describe a connection to one with whom you share so much, yet at the same time so little, and how in holding the absence of someone you hardly knew, there can still be such presence and poignance. My deepest love to all those who knew her best. I am holding you in my heart. 

I heard of your recent passing Teri and I am deeply saddened. I remember our late night chess games. You were a very competitive and resilient person. Even though we were thousands of miles apart, I could always reach out to you. Too bad I couldnt visit Colorado. Rest easy my friend.

I'll never forget how special Teri was to me, from the moment we met, both down on our luck and trying to rebuild our lives serving at Mimi's Cafe, I knew I had to have her. For the next 2 years we would grow closer to each other and share so many wonderful memories together. The way she loved me was like nothing I've ever experienced. She motivated me to be my best self and brought me more joy and happiness than anyone in my life ever has. I loved her and supported her with all my heart and I even had plans to ask for her hand in marriage by the beginning of next year. I will cherish every moment that I held her in my arms comforting her, I will cherish every moment we spent together, every trip we took, every dinner we went to, any time we played video games or watched our TV shows or played cards, and how we talked on the phone every night that she wasnt with me, up until the very last one. Her passing is one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through in my life but I know her memory will live on and will be honored as long as I live. Her father gave me a painting of her's that is the perfect representation of our relationship and her life. Its such a beautiful painting with aspen trees and a path that goes through them but it wasnt quite finished, we had so many plans and so much left to do, we werent finished painting our lives together but the time that we did have was beautiful... and now her memory will live on forever with me.

Drayhung and John, we were so very sorry to hear about your lovely daughter. You are in our thoughts. 

I met Teri in marketing class my senior year at UCCS. After walking her to class one day she gave me her business card and told me to give her a call. Even if I hadn't asked her out she certainly would not have hesitated to make me a Wells  Fargo customer! Soon after we lived together and shared many beautiful memories for the next ~5 years. Besides coming from a wonderful family, she had a unique, intelligent personality. When we weren't with friends and family we would spend many evenings playing chess or indulging in video games. She supported me through many career/life changes and always had my back 100%. My family will remember her taking command of the Point Of Sales at the haunted house. My friends will remember her being the only one to actually wear a toga with me to a toga party, and I will remember her for having the courage to step outside of her comfort zone and do things like play on a coed soccer team with me or join in a weightlifting meet for the first time. She was an incredible artist, a financial authority and certainly a tough, loyal companion.  We would go snowboarding, raise a shiba puppy together and stay for way too many nights gambling in Las Vegas.  We knew each other during a very formative part of life so the list of memories for me is a mile long. I can say anyone who knew her was lucky to know a kind, old fashioned soul. My heart goes out to all of her friends and family in Colorado. Teri you will be missed by us all <3

I met Teri Jo through Rachel many years ago. We didn't hang out at often as we should have but, the times we had together I always felt like she and I had shared a soulful bond, perhaps because we also shared a birthday. One of the best and favorite memories I have of Teri Jo was when we went to Water World and spent our time floating down the lazy river, blissfully relaxing and sunbathing while everyone one else went on all the rides. She became my Ter-bear and I became her Little Strawberry. I pray for peace and comfort to all that knew her, she was a light in this world. 

I can not believe that Teri Jo has left us. She was a great friend to myself, my family, and our crew. I will never forgot the time we backpacked the Grand Canyon together and how strong both physically and mentally she was. On that adventure we star gazed, swam in pristine waters and saw amazing sunrises and sunsets together. 

One time we were snowboarding together and we had stayed at a friends cabin, and that night when we were sitting on the deck and I remember saying, "I love this view". A few short months later she drew me a picture of that exact view. She was so talented in many  ways and I truly feel like I will have have a hole for the rest of my life, and the world has lost a bright light. 

With love ~
Rachel Asiu  

It’s unbelievable that she’s gone. I hadn’t seen Teri since she moved to Seattle, but will always hold her dear to my heart. We met working at T.Rowe Price and became good friends. My condolences to your family.
