Christopher "Chris" Dixon (know as Fireman or Fire by colleagues, friends and family)&after battling a 2nd stroke on 7 February Chris was hospitalized and started recovering on the 10th of Feburary 2024 and was in good spirit. We were hopeful, and several of his children and grandchildren visited with him and surrounding him with love daily. Regretfully, on Tuesday, February 20, 2024 around 4:20pm on our way to visiting Chris at the hospital we recieved a call from the Cardiac Surgeon that Chris went into Cardiac Arrest and they were doing their best to resuscitate him. We went directly to the Trauma Unit, and after all attempts failed, Chis was pronounced dead at 5:50pm, February 20th, 2024, at Memorial Hospital, Savannah, Georgia at the Age of 77.
