Bird was a proud graduate of John L. LeFlore High School of Communications and Arts Class of 1997. He was a dedicated resident of the Roger Williams Community. A very hard worker, Bird was known for being reliable and dependable. He was caring, loving, and truly met no strangers. Bird was the epitome of a family-oriented man—always making sure his family knew how much he loved and valued them every time he saw them.

He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Lee Lewis; his grandfather, Willie Talvin Dixon Sr.; and his grandmother, Helen Louise Johnson-Dixon.

Bird leaves to cherish his memory: his beloved mother, Patricia (Charles) Dixon-Johnson; one sister, LaChandra Monique Dixon; and four brothers, Arthur (Latonya) Dixon, Cordairo Talvin Dixon Sr., Jerod (Staci) Lewis, and Mario (Tracy) Lewis.

He is also survived by six nieces: Christina (Kourtney) Tuck, Artrice Dixon, Ariel Dixon, Armani Dixon, Jaci Lewis, and Caleigh Dixon; and four nephews: Lawrence (Kayla) Cannon-Dixon, Cordairo (CJ) Dixon Jr., Cordairus (Nuk) Dixon, and Cordarian (Tank) Dixon.

Bird also leaves behind three great-nieces and great-nephews: Aubrie Knox, Kaleb Tuck, and Kendal Tuck.

He is further survived by two devoted uncles, Willie (Kathy) Dixon Jr. and Willie Johnson; and three devoted aunts, Callie Finley, Martina Lewis, and Patricia (Jimmy) Hale.

Five devoted male cousins: Peter Moore, DeBarron Moore, Bobbye Woods, Jamie Dixon, and Robert Lewis; and four devoted female cousins: Tamaralyn Lewis, Shenece Lewis, Talvija Dixon, and Tabitha Dixon.
