Dear Douglas, Priscilla and all; 

It is with heavy heart to learn of Dixie's passing.  He was a fine young man who had full of life and energy, overflowing with big dreams and aspirations.  He was very close to all most especially to his siblings. I know all of his Military Cut-Off friends and neighbors in Baguio, Philippines is in mourning for him as well, just like when his Uncle Fred joined his creator. I hope your fine memories of him bring some comfort and will enable you to live with this sad loss. May he Rest in Peace.

Please accept our sincerest condolences.

Joey David & family

When you stepped into people’s lives, 
you made all the difference. 
When we needed someone to talk to, 
you were there to listen. 
When we needed to smile, 
you lit up the world!
You were fun, compassionate, hilarious, patient, and sweet. 
You were an angel on Earth, now you have your wings. 
Fly high Dax, we will Love you forever!! 
~
Long before you entered nursing
The Lord had played His part,
Planting seeds of love and kindness
In the portals of your heart.
For it’s clear that you’ve been gifted
With a sympathetic ear,
And blessed from the beginning
With a willingness to cheer.
And the people who you care for
Are better off by far,
When they’re touched by your compassion, 
By the person that you are.
For in times of woe and worry
When they’re frightened or they’re blue,
No one could be more consoling than the friend they’ll find in you.

Dax - you lit up the SDGMC stage with your dancing and you lit up our rehearsals with your smile.  We’ll miss you!!!

Dax dear - I miss your sunny disposition and ready smile.  You were like a breath of fresh air. And you were an exceptional neighbor.
Thank you,
Patricia


Dixie!

You lived your life to the fullest and I am grateful to share some of great old memories growing up with you. Our drinking sessions, our beach escapades, and our Christmas carolings!

May your spirit continue to live your eternal life up in heaven. 
Keep smiling down us! Keep dancing in the rain!

“Goodbyes are not forever…. It’s I’ll see yah later”🍻

Rest In Piece, my friend!
