Gregory Dixon

Gregory Dixon born on June 8, 1951 to the late Maurice and Marion (Holland) Dixon, unexpectedly transitioned to his eternal home on Thursday, February 22, 2024 leaving a void in our hearts. Gregory led an exciting and active life. He grew up in St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church (now Our Saviour Lutheran Church) where he received his foundational Christian spiritual roots. He was educated in Baltimore City Public Schools then went on to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps until he received an honorable discharge. His love for his country and the military did not stop with his discharge. He served in the U.S. Veterans Administration for more than 40 years assisting veterans with medical appointments and claims filings. An all-American male, Gregory loved baseball and the Baltimore Orioles. He served as an usher for 21 years. The organization loved his service and called upon him often to fill in for those who had called out. Gregory’s service to the Orioles did not go unnoticed by the Baltimore Ravens. He served as usher for them for more than a year. Unbeknownst to many, Gregory was a “bunny whisperer”. He had a way with his pet rabbits that was truly amazing. He could issue commands and they would obey. He could ask for a kiss, and they would honor his request. They would come when called and follow on command. His black and white bunny Princess, his all-black bunny Maxi, and his brown bunny Cinamon, all preceded him in death, but he had two other bunnies Nutmeg and JJ who mourn his passing with whimpers and lethargy, On September 19, 1999, Gregory married the love of his life Deborah Bell. There were no human children from this union, but they were the “parents” of several fur babies – bunnies to be exact. Their love for these “babies” was so strongly evident that others would bring them strays they discovered and always without fail, they would take them in and love them through their lives. Gregory was preceded in death by his parents Maurice and Marion Dixon, his mother-in-law Dorothy Bell. He leaves to cherish his memory, his loving and devoted wife Deborah, fur babies Nutmeg and JJ, brothers Maurice Dixon (Everlyn) and Sidney Dixon, Father-in-law Lewis Bell, Brothers-in-law Albert Bell (Juanita), Marvin Bell (Jill), Marco Bell, and a host of family and friends.
