James “Jim” Hall Dixon was born on November 26, 1965, in Wisconsin to John and Ethyl (Wagner) Dixon. Growing up…which Jim never fully did, he was always outside spending time with the neighborhood kids. Jim was also a talented athlete and musician. As a young man he was often at the helm of a Wisconsin Dells Duck. He was passionate about Wisconsin sports, nature, hiking, and cooking.
Jim was a wonderful source of laughter throughout his life, whether it was with a quick joke, a well-timed Monty Python quote, or that trademark Dixon sarcasm. He was often quoted saying that his true religion was kindness, and he exemplified that in every way, even as he suffered kidney disease for 15 years. Jim said his life’s purpose and greatest joy was to be a father. He was a father not only to his daughters, but to many cohorts of teenagers that he worked with throughout the years; and all would agree that he excelled as his life’s purpose of being a wonderful father.
Jim is survived by his daughters, Annika and Leah; and his brother, Matt.
