Andrew Dixon
June 21st, 2013
With profound sadness we announce the passing of our son Andrew Dixon age 35.
Andrew leaves a legacy of love and joy for his two children Owen (8) and Myah (5). He will be deeply missed by his parents Carolyn & Tom Dixon, sister Stephanie Adanac (David), partner Michelle Wardle, and former wife Andrea Dixon.
A graduate of Langley Secondary School Andrew attended B.C.I.T. and Lakehead University to obtain his P.Eng. Degree (Mechanical); a career path which brought him great satisfaction.
From an early age he had a “need for speed” and challenged himself in Quarter Midget cars, on downhill skis and on his bike in triathlons and long distance rides.
He rode twice in the Ride to Conquer Cancer to benefit the B.C. Cancer Foundation and donations in his memory would be appreciated. We would like to acknowledge Dr. Laskin of the B.C. Cancer Agency and Dr. Maryam Aroichane Neuro-Ophthalmologist for their care during Andrew’s courageous battle with cancer. Also thank you to the nurses and volunteers at Langley Hospice.
A funeral service will be held at 11 am Thursday June 27th at the United Church Murrayville 21562 Old Yale Road, Langley, a gathering and reception will follow at Murrayville Hall with internment at Murrayville cemetery.
You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family.
