Our dear sweet Markus Russell Dixon born on June 15, 2012, was called home to be with our Lord, October 6, 2025.  After being diagnosed with leukemia a few weeks before his 12th birthday, he fought long and hard for 17 months. The week before he passed, we witnessed a new strength arise in him that we had not seen before. We are so proud of him. Markus is survived by his parents, Brad and Susie, five brothers, Buddy, John, Matthew, Max, and Titus, as well as his seven sisters, Jasmine, Felicity, Victoria, Gianna, Genny, Ronny and his favorite, the youngest, Gabby, also his first nephew Blaise.  We are so grateful God chose us as his family and our lives are forever touched by his kind and faithful soul. Please pray for our family as we attempt to carry on in our journey home to be with him again in the presence of Jesus.  We love you Markus so much.
