Paul R. Dixon of Logan, OH has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved him.
These pages are a small offering toward a much larger life.
Paul spent his working life as ['Kroger', 'Columbia Gas'] and held deeply to the Methodist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Service is its own kind of love — quiet, steady, often unseen.
Paul R. Dixon, age 94, of Logan, Ohio, passed away April 21, 2026, at The Pickering House, Lancaster, Ohio.
Paul was born on December 27, 1931, in Carbon Hill, Ohio to Willard Dixon and Louella James Dixon.
