Thomas "Tom" Dixon

Mr. Thomas “Tom” Dixon of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Mrs. Linda Dixon, passed away at Chinook Regional Hospital on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at the age of 76 years.

Tom was born in Kindersley, SK on July 17, 1946, to Charles and Florence Dixon. He went to school in Loverna, SK and later to Westcliff School in Marengo. When he was around 13, he went to stay overnight at the Wiste’s house, and stayed for the next five or six years and so gained another whole family.

After school he went to Calgary and got a job at a lumber wholesale company operating forklift. There his love for the lumber business was born. In 1973 he was transferred to Lethbridge where he met a group of people, most of whom came from P.E.I. In partnership with Derrill Murphy and Eugene Sullivan, they went into the lumber business on their own. In 1984, they split the company into two and Tom and Linda went into business as the sole owners. Happily, we remained good friends with all the Islanders. Logic Lumber was the focus of his life, and he considered it a hobby, not a job. His other hobbies were his classic cars and his racehorses.

Tom is survived by his wife of 54 years, Linda; his son Kevin (Sandie); his two much loved grandchildren, Ren and Marley; brothers Larry (Deb) Dixon, Sam Dixon, Raymond (Sheila) Wiste, Arne (Molly) Wiste; brothers and sisters-in-law Darlene Dickson, Duane (Beryl) Dahl, Ray (Delores) Dahl, Bob Cooper and Ralph Phillips; niece Cindy who trains and races the horses they own together as well as numerous other cousins, nieces, nephews and their families.

He was predeceased by his son Rob; sisters Peggy (Bill) Cummins, Fern Phillips and Sonja Cooper; brothers Jim (Marg) Dixon, John Dixon, Bill (Bernice) Wiste; brothers and sisters in law Dennis Dickson, Ralph (Donna) Dahl, and Brenda Dixon.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00am, on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at MARTIN BROTHERS FUNERAL CHAPELS, 610- 4 Street South, Lethbridge, Alberta with Pastor Barb Roycroft, officiating. Interment to follow in Royal View Cemetery.
