Word has reached us of the passing of aftermarket veteran Barry Dixon.

He passed away on October 5, 2020, at the age of 62, after a battle with cancer.

Living in Brantford, Ont., but originally from Winnipeg, Man., he was known to many from his time with manufacturer Tridon, Belron, Ken-Co Industries and most recently at Nucleus Distribution, where he served as president.

He had a passionate interest in cars and everything automotive. While his family was living in the Queen Charlotte Islands, his love of cars began. When he moved to Chilliwack, B.C. he started taking automotive classes. His passion led him to working in the automotive industry for his whole career.

He is survived by his wife Cathy for more than 35 years.

Much loved father of Kaytlyn and Christopher (Bozana). Cherished brother of Cheryl Hunt (Greg) and Tim. Predeceased by parents George and Caroline, and brothers Jim, George “Bo”, and Tery.
