He was also survived by his aunts: Bonnie Blair and Dinah Dixon (and uncle, Brian Dixon) and his uncles: Jim Dickison (and aunt, Michelle Dickison); Jack Dickison (and aunt, Machera Dickison -- whom Canaan called "Mams and Paps"); Mike Dickison (and aunt, Tammie Dickison); Saul Blair (and aunt, Andrea Blair); Jordan Blair (and aunt, Erin Blair); Warren Montgomery (and aunt, Rut Lucero); Jairod Roeder, and Kirk Roeder and his grandparents: Jerry and Linda Dickison; and Kirk and Denise Roeder.

One person that could, without fail, put a smile on Canaan's face was his only nephew, Boone Austin Stockstill. Boone was a major source of joy for his uncle and Canaan

Canaan had several passions including "nerd-lore" such as Marvel comics, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. He loved dogs, especially Sophy, who lived in his room.

Canaan was a phenomenal artist. He enjoyed 80's music and gaming. Canaan delighted in a good road trip, as it generally spurred sweet memories of his dad, of whom Canaan spoke often. Anyone who knew Canaan would categorize him as an avid "foodie". He could never get enough Chinese food or sushi.

Canaan will be cremated in Florida and his ashes will be buried at Gordon, Texas, near his father, John Dickison, at the Russell Chapel Cemetery, on Saturday, February 27, 2021, at 2:00 pm.
