The death of Edgar Alan Dixon, 64, of Upper Cape, NB, occurred at his farm on Sunday, April 3, 2016, after a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer.  Born in Sackville, NB, Alan was a son of the late Edgar and Joyce (Webster) Dixon.

Alan had a passion for cattle, farming, and flowers.  He graduated from Nova Scotia Agricultural College in the 1970's and immediately began working a beef farm.  In addition, he worked with the school board for many years until his retirement in 2014.

Alan had a zest for life, living every day to the fullest. He was a loving and devoted father who had a passion for traveling and a great love for the sea. He enjoyed summers at the shore surrounded by close family and friends. Loving the heat and easy life on the beach, Alan spent his winters with his longtime traveling family and community in Florida.

Alan had a big personality and a contagious smile; he loved to make everyone laugh. His warm smile and kind heart will be truly missed by all.

He will be deeply missed by, his wife and friend, Linda (Baiani), Upper Cape; his children, Adam 'Baby Edgar' (Maggie) Dixon, Sackville, Kelly (Donald) Burbine, Amherst, Sherrie Steeves, Moncton; three grandchildren, Morgan, Jackson, and Nolan, and sisters, Ann (Richard) Hicks and family, Louise (Gaius) Miller and family, and Carolyn Carmichael and family.
