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.

![The day I met Connor, now this was a strange day for me as I had never been so nervous about meeting a stranger?
