When Bro Ray shook your hand he did it with such enthusiasm and with a smile. I will never forget when Bro & Sister Dixon came to visit us in Kansas , it was such a pleasure. Yes Bro Ray you are smiling from Heaven.   Bro & Sister Buczynski , Ulysses Ks.

R.I.P. Ray. You always brought a smile to my face with your kindness and joy. We will miss you, but we will see you soon! To all of the Dixons and Dansbys, God bless you! Love you all!

He will be missed by all, he always made me laugh, may he rest in peace!!!

What a precious man. We loved him. He offered so much. Enjoyed working with him on the Sunday School bus. His laugh was so contageous. Loved God! He absolutely loved children and made them laugh. Just can't say enough.  Was heartbroken to hear about his passing. Praying for the family.

Our thoughts and prayers for the Dixon family. We were friends and neighbors for many years. I enjoyed growing up with the two youngest Dixon girls. Ray was a very funny man, and he watch over us as we played in the our yards. He did love the lord, and would take the neighborhood kids or anybody that wanted to go to church. We will truly miss Rays laugh and smile.

I remember Bro. Ray picking my siblings and I up for Sunday School in that "huge" bus when we were younger.  I appreciated his bus ministry and have always had a deep respect for him.  May God comfort you all!

So sorry for your loss! Our thoughts & prayers are with you!

Our thoughts & prayers are with the Dixon family through this difficult time! Our heart goes out to you! We loved Bro. Dixon, he was a wonderful man. God Bless you all!

Bro. Ray Dixon was one of the kindest men I've ever met. I use to love his smile, as a child I always thought he was some one super special. I haven't seen him or Sis. Dixon or the family in many years, but the years attending church at 36th and 0 in Bakersfield, Ca. will always be ingrained in my memory. Bro. Ray Dixon will truly be missed. Prayers for the family.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE UNCLE RAY!  I REMEMBER RUNNING UP TO YOU IN CHURCH ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. YOU ALWAYS PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE. YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED!

So sorry that we just read this. He will be missed. He was a special man and he loved God and his family.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Ray, but I do have the pleasure of knowing his family in Oklahoma City. They are very dear to my heart, and I heard them speak fondly of Ray many times. My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. Please know you are in my prayers! Love to you all.

My daughter and I loved Grandpa Ray as if he was our own grandpa.  We adopted him through his granddaughter and my best friend from high school, Cynthia (Lorraine's daughter).  You can tell he had the world in his heart by the way he walked and the way he smiled with his infectious smile.  He was a very generous and loving man and one we will forever cherish.  May God bless his whole family and remember the wonderful memories made. With prayers and love from our family to yours.

May you rest in peace and watch over your family with the good Lord above.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. PRAYING THAT GOD GIVES YOU PEACE AND STRENGTH!

robert,, sharon boyt, we are praying for the ray dixon family.

Brother Dixon, I will never forget the bus ride to Santa Maria to drop off the Kids for youth camp and on the way home running out of gas at 1:00 a.m. on Bear Mounain Blvd. He was a great man and well respected by many. Many fond memories of his story tellings and his witnessing. May God be with you all at this time.

Our thoughts and prayer's go out to the Dixon family at this difficult time.May God Bless you all.

My heart goes out to all my Dixon family. Love Ray, Jeri and all the family so much.  Especially loved this sweet, kind, and crazy guy. I have lots of fond memories of Ray.  
Praying for comfort that only God can give to all of you during this time of grief and sorrow.
Cherish the memories and you will have Ray with you always.
Love to all,
