His CB handle was "The Liontamer" and became the knick name he affectionately gave his youngest son, Leo Jr. He went on to work as a bus driver for Mexia ISD.

Leo was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, May 1980 in Arlington, Texas, alongside his wife. He especially loved sharing the good news about Jehovah's kingdom in the door-to-door ministry. He also enjoyed assisting his many bible students to learn and come to appreciate Jehovah and bible truths.

He preached tirelessly and fearlessly to all he met, not just family and friends, but those he worked with, neighbors and strangers.

Leo was truly one of the faithful of whom Jehovah has said, "For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name."

He leaves for a short time to mourn, his four children, Cassandra Smith, whom he affectionately called "Big Girl", James Dunagan (Jamie), Christine (Christy) Brown (Terrance) and Leo Dixon Jr (Liontamer) (Vicki). Seven grand children, Brandon Dunagan, Justin Dunagan, Kameron Brown, Kendrick Champlin, Korina Dixon, Austen Harris and Nikki Chandler.

Dixon, parents, Walker and Leola Dixon, brother, John Dixon, Sister in laws, Hazel Haynes, Barbara Buchanan and Janie Dunagan, brother in law, Lozel Dunagan, mother and father in law, Houston and LV Dunagan and additional family and friends dearly loved.

A very special thanks, to Leo's oldest daughter, Cassandra, "Big Girl".  You brought him "Home", that's what he wanted.
