Thomas "Tom, Tommy" Bertram Dixson

Thomas Bertram Dixson (Tom, Tommy), 76, passed away January 2, 2025 after battling Covid pneumonia for 4+ months, trying so hard to get back to his wife in Blowing Rock, NC. He went home to his Lord and Savior with both his wife and daughter at his side in Dover, New Jersey.

Tom served in the USAF during the Vietnam War. Upon his return he worked in the insurance industry for a number of years. He was active in the Civitan organization helping with Special Olympics while living in Phoenix, AZ.

He took his great love of golf and started a golf business with his wife which lasted for 24 years. He became a realtor which he loved and made fast friends with so many clients.

He was a member of Sweetwater CC in Longwood, FL, Blowing Rock CC, and Boone GC which was his favorite because of all the great friends he found there.

Another love of his was taking over the Rhododendron Invitational golf tournament his dad started in 1966.  He really enjoyed hosting it each year.

Tom loved his Lord and Savior, his loving wife, his children and grandchildren and every friend he ever made along with life in general. He always had a smile and kind words to so many. He'll be missed so much by family and friends. Rest in peace Tom.

He is survived by his wife of 35+ years Jill Dreblow Dixson, daughter K. Deanne Dixson (Joseph Geoghan), son Wesley Dixson, grandchildren Joseph Geoghan, Gwyneth Geoghan, Ainsley Geoghan, Joshua Dixson, great granddaughter Raelyn Dixson, sister-in-law Susan (Herman Jr) Dixson. Tom also leaves behind nephews, nieces and cousins; and his adored dog, Juno.
 

Tom is predeceased by his mother Mary Elizabeth Dixson, father Herman Dixson, Sr, brother Herman Jr, sister Debbie Dixson Rose, step-mother Margaret (Peggy) Dixson, Son-in-law Jeff Rose.

A memorial service will be at a later date.
