James “Jimmie” L. Dixon Jr., 70, of Williamsburg, VA, passed away on September 4, 2025.
Born on January 15, 1955, Jimmie was the son of James and Margaret Dixon of Smithfield, VA. He proudly served his country as a United States Marine and later his community for many years as a Deputy Sheriff, roles that reflected his commitment to hard work and responsibility.
Outside of his service and career, Jimmie enjoyed life’s simple pleasures — whether swapping stories with friends, spending time outdoors, or getting lost in a good book. His straightforward nature and resilience carried him through life’s ups and downs.
Jimmie was preceded in death by his wife, Kathy Dixon, and his son, Matthew Dixon. He is survived by his daughter, Kristie (Dixon) Croft and her husband JJ; his son, Michael Dixon and his wife Kelse; his grandchildren, Payton, Braxton, and Bellamy; his brother, Johnnie Dixon and his wife Tina; his sister, Robin Huey, wife of the late Mike Huey; and his nephew, Chris Patton.
A funeral service will be held on Monday, September 15, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick Blvd., Newport News, VA 23601.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to all who have reached out during this time. They take comfort in knowing Jimmie’s service to both his country and his community will not be forgotten.
Arrangements are under the care of Peninsula Funeral Home.
