Charles Robert Dixon

of Lead Hill, AR

July 25, 1985 - August 26, 2015

Charles Robert Dixon left us far too early Wednesday, August 26, 2015, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was 30 years, one month, and one day old. He arrived kicking and screaming in this world on July 25, 1985, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The only son of Jeff and Amy Dixon, Charley was an adorable handful from the very beginning. He was named after his two grandfathers, Charles Adam Dixon and James Robert Neal, and affectionately called Charley Bob.

Charley never met a stranger and quickly charmed everyone with his great smile and his ability to make us all laugh. In his own words, he was friends with ''everybody (cause I'm good-lookin').'' His family described him as too handsome and charming for his own good.

Charley lived his life his own way and no one could ever tell him to do anything. He had an adventurous soul that took him around the world helping people, jumping off cliffs, petting monkeys, serving in a war zone, discussing politics and making new friends. He recently traveled to Finland, Wales, Amsterdam, Istanbul and Bali before making his way back home to Lead Hill, Arkansas.
He served in the Army Reserves following a proud tradition of military service by his father and grandfather. Charley earned an Iraq Campaign Medal and Campaign Star during his time in Iraq as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. He served with the 90th Sustainment Brigade and the 362nd Tactical Psychological Operations Company.

Charley loved to read and, to this day, holds an Accelerated Reader record at Ringgold Elementary School in Clarksville, Tennessee where he grew up. He held a number of other titles, including but not limited to, Fantasy Football champion, Grand Champion of the 2015 Mario K Cup, biggest flirt and funniest guy of his 2003 Lead Hill High School class, great friend, most annoying and loveable brother and beloved son. He was passionate about healthy living and was a certified personal trainer who would push you to do a little more than you thought you could.

Charley was a registered organ donor and, thanks to his generous heart, four people have been given another chance at life. He had a compassionate heart and was always willing to help others, and he will continue to even in his death. May they carry his spirit with them wherever they go.

Charley is survived by his parents, Jeff and Amy Dixon, of Lead Hill; his sister and brother-in-law, Jessica and Kip Kibling, of Harrison; his grandparents, Charles and Della Dixon of Lead Hill and Jessie Neal of Harrison; and an abundance of uncles, aunts, cousins and friends who loved him dearly. He will join his grandfather, Bob, on a bench in Heaven where they can be ornery together while they wait for us.

Visitation was held Monday, August 31, 2015, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home in Harrison.

Charley's life was celebrated Tuesday, September 1, 2015, at the First Baptist Church in Lead Hill, with interment in Cedar Grove Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Kip Kibling, Chance Burleson, James Tomlinson, Dylan Honeycutt, Chris Rogers and Terry Donaho.

In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer gifts in Charley's honor to the Arkansas Freedom Fund at PO Box 697, Bryant, AR 72089, to help Arkansas soldiers and families, or to the Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency at 171 Aldersgate Road, Suite 4, Little Rock, AR 72205, to support organ donations in Arkansas
.
This note was found in Charley's belongings and, for once, his sister will let him have the last word because it is too beautiful not to:

''I've never been so overcome with emotion as I was tonight. I saw the stars so clearly that it felt like my heart began pumping a new blood. My eyes erupted with tears at the beauty and I smiled purdy.''

We will miss Charley's wit, humor and infectious smile. He was loved by many. We never understood all of what made up Charley. He certainly lead a fulfilled life. I guess the best way to describe him is "he lived". We love the Dixon family and feel pain and sorrow. We pray for God's comforting hand during this time.

Sad to hear this news about my boy Charles. He was a great soul to be around. We became friends because he saw me as a little brother that he wanted to help out. While I was in college at North Arkansas College he came to support me at all the games he could. He waited till I came out after the games, even if it was a win or a lose. He is a great guy and I'm really glad God placed him in my life.

I have no words to soften this tragedy. When someone so young and promising leaves us unexpectedly too soon, the void left behind is never filled. But whoever wrote Charley's obituary is to be congratulated for trying and making it almost 100%. God bless and we will miss you Charley Bob.
