Our hearts are broken as we share the unexpected passing of our beloved brother, Bob, at the age of 57. He passed away peacefully in his sleep, and his sudden loss has left an immeasurable void in the lives of everyone who loved him. Bob was one of eleven siblings, and from the very beginning he brought laughter and entertainment wherever he went. He had an incredible sense of humor, a quick wit, and a gift for making people smile. Whether through a perfectly timed joke or simply being himself, Bob had a way of making every family gathering more interesting and brighter. Above all else, Bob was a devoted father. As a single dad, Dai and Marina were the center of his world. Every decision he made was guided by his love for them and his commitment to giving them every opportunity to succeed. He worked in Information Technology for the Bellevue School District, building a career dedicated to supporting others while providing a stable and loving home for his family. The loss of Bob is devastating beyond words. His children are now facing the unimaginable challenge of navigating life without the father and role model who loved them unconditionally and was their greatest source of strength. We are asking for your support to help ease the financial burdens that accompany this sudden loss. Donations and gift cards will help cover immediate expenses and meals/necessities for Dai in the difficult days ahead. No amount of money can replace a father, a brother, or a friend. What we can do is come together as a community to honor Bob's legacy by surrounding his children with the love and support he so freely gave to others. If you are able to help, we are deeply grateful for your generosity. Every donation, regardless of the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this page and keep Dai, Marina, and our entire family in your thoughts and prayers. If you knew Bob, you know there is probably a story that still makes you smile. We invite you to share your favorite memories, funny moments, or photos in the comments. Your stories will become a treasured gift for Dai and Marina and a reminder of just how deeply their father was loved, how many lives he touched, and the joy he brought to those around him. Thank you for helping us honor Bob's memory and for helping ensure that his love for his children continues to carry them forward. With heartfelt gratitude, The Dixon siblings (Margie, Mike, Jeanne, Jim, Mary, Joan, Susie, Billy, Sally, Kathy)
