He was born in Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 30, 1969, to William T. Dixon and the late Barbara Ann Lenhart. Michael was a 1987 graduate of Crestwood High School and went on to earn his Master of Business Administration degree from Bloomsburg University. He built a successful career as the financial controller (CPA, CFE, CISA) at DeAngelo Contracting in Hazleton.
A proud veteran, Michael served his country in the United States Army Reserves and the Pennsylvania National Guard, attaining the rank of first lieutenant.

He later served as a tank commander and finance officer with Pennsylvania's 28" Division. He was a life member of VFW Post 6615 and a member of American Legion Post 0405.
He was a loyal, lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies, always cheering them on each season with his nephews, niece, and friends. His passionate team spirit will live on in the memories of everyone he shared it with. Michael greatly enjoyed trap shooting, skiing, and concerts. He was a member of the Amateur Trapshooting Association, associated with Barren Acres Gun Club, Nuangola Gun Club, and the Scranton Ski Club, where he valued camaraderie, service, and the friendships he built. He found great joy in entertaining and coordinating gatherings and travel plans with his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Barbara Ann Lenhart.
He is survived by his father, William T. Dixon; his brother, Thomas Dixon, and wife, Kelly; his nephews, Mark Dixon and Brandon Dixon; and his niece, Julia Dixon.
Michael will be remembered for his service to his country, his dedication to his family, and his quest to help others.

Bill, Tom and Michael´s family. We were devastated to hear about Mike´s passing. We send our deepest condolences. We enjoyed having him on ski trips. He was always a gentleman, always willing to help, knew how to have a good time and enjoyed life itself. He was so proud that he quit smoking years ago and started working out as we were proud for him too. Michael you were taken to soon. You will be missed.

Hey Mike... writing you a letter, wherever you are in the ether. (((Hugs))) It was good to be in presence of your energy.
The 6615 was full and those that know me, know the high esteem with which your memories are held.
Gotta say, you knew my close calls - thanks for being the supportive person you were, through and through.
May the lives you touched be inspired to find love and sweetness in this life... and live in the love you left them with.
I'll see you again.

I would like to express mycondolences to all Mike's family and friends. I am a fellow friend and Eagles / Phillies fan who first met Mike in 2003 in a parking lot tailgating for the Eagles game. We became friends and began tailgating together for over 20 years. Mike was always the captain of our tailgates. He made musical setlists for each game and we always coordinated a menu for each game. He always brought humor and laughs every time. We did Eagles,Phillies games and even a few concerts together and the experience was always better with Mike's presence! I am truly blessed to have been Mike's friend and will certainly miss him a lot. The NFC championship wins preceding Superbowl 52 and 59 with Mike will always be a highlight of my life. Rest easy my friend.. Go Birds and Go Phillies

My deepest condolences to Mike´s family and friends. I was utterly devastated to hear about Mike´s passing. As one of his Eagles tailgate buddies, I have shared numerous unforgettable moments with him, from those energetic tailgates to attending countless concerts together. Mike was undeniably the heart and soul of our tailgate group.
I will miss his larger-than-life personality, his infectious sense of humor, his hearty laugh, his warm smile, and, most of all, his cherished friendship. We constantly exchanged banter, always giving each other a hard time in good spirits. During tough times, Mike was always there for me and would check in regularly. His support meant so much to me.
I am also profoundly grateful for his military service. Mike´s presence and kindness have left an indelible mark on my life. He will be dearly missed.

Bill so sorry to learn of the passing of Mike. Every ski season, I always think of last ski trip to Big Sky MO. Great time with Mike making breakfast for our condo and the on the house dinner with the Elk entree´ and bargain wine. Mike was a wonderful guy who I enjoyed talking to at ski club functions.

Was shocked today to learn of Mike's death from fellow trap shooters. He was a good friend indeed. We shot trap together as well as mountain biked several times as a group of like-minded friends. My thoughts go out to Bill Dixon ( dad) and Tom Dixon ( brother) as well as extended family. May God and good friends help you through this painful time.
