Terry L. Dixson

Terry Dixson, 71, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2026. After 3-years of declining health, L20 peacefully closed his eyes and relinquished his post to the Lord. 

Terry was born on November 30, 1954, the son of Cecil and Deloris (Atherton) Dixson.

He will be remembered for his stories, his humor, service to his community, and the love for his family. His legend will live on in the many lives he touched.

Terry accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior at the age of 12 when he was baptized at 9th Street Christian Church. Later in life, while living at Miller’s Merry Manor, he faithfully attended Church services, Bible study, and received communion each Sunday.

A 1973 graduate of Logansport High School, Terry earned a degree in HVAC system design and worked for Baker Specialty. However, God called Terry to protect and serve. Terry began his journey in law enforcement as a reserve deputy with the Cass County Sheriff’s Department in 1979. Terry joined the Logansport Police Department in 1983. During his 25 years of service to the community, he served on the SWAT/Tactical team and promoted to every rank. He retired as Lieutenant from LPD in 2008. After retiring, he continued serving the community working at the Indiana Department of Correction, as a jailer for the Cass County Jail, and later worked security
at the Cass County Courthouse.

Terry is survived by his three sons, Bryan (Lisa), Chad (Chelsea), and Chris (Mindy), a bonus son, John O’Connor. He was a proud grandfather to Madison (Logan), Payton (Lexi), Bristal, Bexlie, Mackenzie, Leighton, Skylee (Ben), and Emelia. He was also blessed with two great-grandsons, Owen Hammons and Kaysen. He is also survived by his sister, Karen Butcher (Gary), niece Amanda Gebhardt (Wally), and nephew Terry Butcher (Sherry) and several great nieces and nephews.

Terry was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter-in-law, Heather Dixson; his nephew, Travis Butcher, who he loved as a son, and his infant sister, Sandra Sullivan.
