Obituary of Larry Dixon

Larry Loss Dixon passed away peacefully Saturday, March 17th, St. Patrick's Day at home in Lake Havasu City at the age of 67. He was born on March 29th, 1944 in Des Moines, Iowa to Mildred and Don Dixon, the oldest of two boys. Larry married Sheila Darling thus continuing their childhood love affair. They were children in Des Moines regaining a relationship 40 years later in Scottsdale. They spent 10 years in Seattle before returning to Arizona in 1999. Larry spent his life in the telecommunications starting after his discharge from the Army in 1963. He was a pioneer in the cellular industry and was a major player in the air to ground phone services. After retiring in Havasu his hobbies ranged from: building boats, planes, trains, and working with wood building beautiful urns and jewelry boxes. Never say he wasn't committed to his hobbies especially after viewing his beautiful backyard, pizza oven and all. While in Seattle he found another passion- boating. He loved Puget Sound and was Vice Commodore of the Yarrow Bay Yacht Club. Never was a man more fun to be around, even the kids in the LHUSD#1 enjoyed him as their substitute teacher for 4 years. He adopted subbing because of his love for children. Larry is survived by his wife of 27 years, his brother David of Enumclaw, WA, his son Josh of San Diego and his step daughter Taara of Havasu any many Armentrout cousins. Larry and Sheila lived for their grand children, Mckenzie of LHC, Kyle of Seattle, Alexis and Breannyn of Newark, IL. Larry was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be greatly missed. There will be no service as per his wishes. If desired memorials should be to your favorite charity. Many thanks to the Cardio and Kidney staff at HRMC.
