Christopher Dixon

Chris was born to Eileen and Doug Dixon in Maesteg, Wales.

He started work at the age of 15 as an apprentice electrician for the National Coal Board. In 1977, he emigrated to Canada and began work as a maintenance electrician for a steel company in Regina, Saskatchewan. In 1979, he moved to British Columbia and worked at several companies as an electrician. He moved to Ontario and from 1987 - 1990 he worked on the Great Lakes for a shipping company doing electrical repair and maintenance on the ships. In 1991, he returned to B.C. and started work for the Township of Langley where he was eventually promoted to Supervisor in the Electrical/Engineering maintenance department. He enjoyed his time there and made many friends. He continued those friendships after his retirement in April 2016 and looked forward to coffee and lunches “with the boys”.

Chris was a huge rugby fan and followed the Welsh teams on television and live when he could. He enjoyed many great discussions about the game with his Dad and brother.

Chris loved to travel but none to compare with his annual return to Wales where he loved to visit family, friends, visit the local pubs for a pint and eat his favourite food.

His family meant the world to him and he will be greatly missed by all.

Chris is survived by his partner Christine, by his family in Wales - father Doug Dixon, daughter Shelley, grandchildren William, Hollie, Connor, Ruby and great grandchildren Ivy and Leo.

Also his sister Karen and brother Anthony , several nieces and nephews, cousins and their families.

He is also survived by his daughter Sarah (John) in California and in Canada by his son Mathew (Cady), son Andrew, granddaughter Ese and her Mom Onome and sister-in-law Sylvia, nephews and their families, Christine’s son Robert and many friends and colleagues. Chris was predeceased by his mother Eileen and brother and best friend Peter.

Chris’s family would like to acknowledge the care he received from the many doctors, nurses, home care staff, and BC Cancer Agency of the Fraser Health Authority.

A celebration of life will be held at the Murrayville Community Memorial Hall, 21667 48 Ave., Langley, BC on October 25, 2021 from 11:00am - 2:00pm
