The community is coming together to support the final journey of Willie Dixon, a beloved 76-year-old resident of Dallas, Texas, who also lived in Mesquite, Greenville, and Balch Springs, TX. Melinda Jones, a close relative of Willie, has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Support Willie Dixon’s Final Journey," aiming to raise $2,000 for his funeral expenses.
LaShall Denice Bates, a friend of the family, shared her sentiments on Facebook, urging the community to contribute to the fundraiser. "Facebook Family & Friends, I know you may not know Mr. Willie Dixon, but if you could please donate and help his family bury him. Anything will be a blessing. Rest Peacefully, Mister. Willie, I will never forget the words you said to me back in 2013 when I buried my first Heartbeat," she wrote, reminiscing about the support Dixon gave her during her own time of loss.
Willie Dixon, also known as Willie Anderson and Willie Dixion, is survived by several relatives including Aaron Anderson, Alberta Runnels, Alton Dixon, and Brenda Jones. The fundraising page emphasizes that any amount donated will be greatly appreciated, and even those who cannot contribute financially are thanked for their moral support.
"Hello family & Friends, at this time we’re trying to put a loved one to rest. We will be thankful for whatever you can give. For the ones who can’t, I will still say thank you," Melinda Jones shared on the GoFundMe page, highlighting the urgency and the heartfelt effort to provide Willie with a dignified farewell.
As the community rallies around Willie Dixon’s family, the spirit of generosity and collective support is a testament to the impact he had on those around him. The fundraiser is not just about meeting financial goals but also about honoring a man who left a lasting mark on his community.
