Rayshawd Tyrone Dixon, also known as “Shawd”, was born on July 22nd, 1994 in Fort Pierce, Florida to Quentin Dixon and Kimberly Walker. Rayshawd had a very gentle spirit and a smile that would light up any room. Rayshawd had a vey strong passion for cars. When he was not working or attending school, one could often find him in the yard repairing his vehicles. He departed this life on Monday, August 24th, 2020. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Rose Marie Johnson and Richard C. Walker and Aunt Pamela Dixon.
After moving to Douglasville, GA, him and his mother joined Elizabeth Baptist Church in Atlanta, Ga. It was there he entered a relationship with God and welcomed his spirit in to dwell eternally. His favorite bible scripture was Philippians 4:13 which says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me”.
Rayshawd graduated from Douglas County Highschool in 2012. He played various sports, but football was his passion and he loved the game. After graduation, he attended Kennesaw University and majored in Computer Science. He later decided to return to his love for mechanics and enrolled into the Aviation Institute of Maintenance program, where he was studying to become an aircraft mechanic. He worked as a material handler for Medline Industries, Inc in Lithia Springs, Ga.
