Adrian Glenn Dixon, Sr.

On January, 2, 1968, Adrian Glenn Dixon, affectionately known as, Glenn, was the perfect bundle of joy and first child, born to Casey James Dixon, Jr., and Bessie Couch Dixon. He brought so much joy into their lives and he continued to bring joy into all the lives that he touched thereafter. 

Being raised in a Christian home with both parents being blessed with anointed voices, Glenn accepted Christ as his personal Savior and joined Jeffries Chapel M.B Church in Abbeville, Mississippi and later joined East St, Peter M.B. Church in Abbeville, and used his gifts and talents in service. In 1988, Glenn moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he joined Free Spirit Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Kenneth Bonner. He continued to use his talent and served there for 14 years as a musician and developed a great family relationship with the church. Upon Glenn's move to the Memphis area, he joined Cumming Street M.B. Church, and as always, he served using his gift as a musician, playing the bass guitar and serving there until his untimely death.  Glenn received his education in the Oxford School district where he was active in sports and music, participating in track, basketball, and band. He graduated from Oxford High School in 1986.

Glenn achieved many awards during his musical career.

He was nominated for "Best New Artist " Stellar Award, and he received the Medgar Evers Peace Award

After Glenn's move to the Memphis area, he gained employment with Methodist LeBonheur-Germantown Hospital as Unit Manager.
