In loving memory of Connor Dixon who sadly passed away on 26th January 2018 after a brave 5 year battle with Cancer.
He will be sadly missed by all his family. He was truly loved by his wife Kelly, Tracey & Gez (Mum & Dad), Luke & Jordan (Brother & Sister) and Ellie, Leighton (Step daughter, Step son).
His brother Luke will be running in the 2018 London Marathon in his memory.
If you would like to read more about this, Connor's story, or make a donation in Connor's memory, please click here.
Connor was a well known lad in Galley Common, Nuneaton, partly due to being one of the "Dixon Triplets" as they were known. He was well liked at Hartshill School of which he attended 2004 - 2009.
Connor followed in his fathers footsteps by completing an Apprenticeship at Federal Mogul, Coventry, going on to become a well respected Manufacturing Engineer.
He was known to appreciate all things automotive. Over the years he had numerous cars (both modified and classic), as well as a few motorbikes. As a result of his hobby he made a lot of acquaintances, friends and even met some automotive celebrities along the way. Knowing his health was deteriorating, he set a challenge to enjoy himself and raise some money for Charity at the same time (see link above).
We would love people to leave comments and photo's on this memorial page, so that we can cherish them in a Memorial book later on. Even if you have already posted on Facebook, we would love if you would post here also.
We invite all his friends and acquaintances to join us on March 9th to pay their respects and celebrate Connor's life. We ask if you could click the Attendance button on this page to confirm your attendance on the day, so that we can best estimate numbers for the planned reception.
As a final note ; There is no Dress Code, Family Flowers Only.
In lieu of flowers, Connor would have preferred a Donation to Teenage Cancer Trust click here.

Connor, I'm still in total shock at what happened. I think everyone can hand on heart say you were one amazing guy. So many memories, especially the Hartshill Hayes days. I don't think this is ever going to sink in for me or anyone. You are truely missed.

The day I met Connor, now this was a strange day for me as I had never been so nervous about meeting a stranger? But I think it was because I was intimidated by his courage, strength and spirit - his first words to me were 'I heard the v8 rumble!!' RIP x

I met Conor on his dream rides challenge when I let him drive my 350z after he had said he owned. I’m so happy I got the chance to meet him, he is a true inspiration and one of the most brave people I had the pleasure of meeting. Rest in peace Conor!
Going to miss this guy so much. From playing badminton at school to drinking in town been an honour to call you a friend. Will be thinking of you and you’ll be forever in my heart xx
Our Grandson Connor. He was the strongest, bravest, caring and loving Grandson. We are so proud of all that he had achieved in his short life time. We loved him so much. He will always be in our hearts and prayers. Till we meet again, our star in the sky
For being the best big brother a girl could ask for, even though I was two minutes older than you. Thank you for always being there for me when I needed you. I will miss you so much, but I know you will always be part of me. Love You Bro xxx
