October 1, 1928 — July 17, 2010
Darrel Quayle Dixon, 81, of Logan, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 17, 2010 at home in Logan, Utah.
He was born on October 1, 1928 in Salt Lake City to Quayle and Ora Jeppson Dixon, grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah and served a full-time mission in Northern California from 1948 to 1950.
On August 31, 1951, he married his sweetheart, Beverly Gean Williams in the Salt Lake LDS Temple, which he called “the greatest blessing of my life.”
He graduated with a Bachelors degree from Brigham Young University and a Master’s degree from Utah State University. He worked for Geneva Steel, Del Monte Corporation and LDS Church Education. He was best known as “Brother D” by students at Logan Seminary and Institute, where he spent many years as a teacher, Seminary Principal, and Institute Director. Many will remember him by his two favorite phrases - “Holymuckieye” and “You Dogbreath.”
He enthusiastically served in many church assignments, including Bishop of the Logan 7th Ward, Second Counselor in the Mount Logan Stake, and as High Counselor and Stake President of the USU 2nd Stake.
Darrel will always be remembered for his sense of humor, love of the Lord, dedicated church service, summer camping trips to Yellowstone, masterful ceramic work, and extreme devotion to his family.
He is survived by his wife Beverly; five children - David Q. Dixon (Julie) of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; Diane Clark (Lane) of Sandy, Utah; Matthew J. Dixon (Kim) of Mesa, Arizona; Reed W. Dixon (Wendie) of Kaysville, Utah; and Nancy Chapman (Bryan) of Sandy, Utah; 19 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and two sisters - Annetta Anderson and Gaylie Durfee.
