Dixon 1923 ~ 2005 Bruce R. Dixon, 82, noted architect who served on many community boards and committees during Provo's formative years, died October 17, 2005, of a heart attack after undergoing successful surgery at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. A lifelong resident of Provo, Bruce was born February 13, 1923, as the fifth of ten children of Arnold and May Banks Dixon. He graduated from Provo High School in 1941, and was attending BYU when World War II erupted. He immediately enlisted in the Navy's V-12 program and was assigned to the University of New Mexico for training in electrical engineering, then sent to Cornell University for midshipman's school, and then to Bowdoin College and MIT for radar training. He later served as the Electronics Officer on the USS Hanson in the South Pacific, and was discharged in 1946 as an Lt.J.G. Returning to BYU, he graduated in 1947 with a degree in physics, and then went to MIT for a degree in architecture in 1950. Moving to Provo, he joined Fred Markham's architectural firm and fell in love with the office assistant, Colleen Callister, a 1949 BYU graduate. They were married May 17, 1951, in the Salt Lake Temple. He started his own architectural firm in 1956. Among the local buildings designed by Bruce were the BYU Motion Picture Studio and Sound Stages, Rock Canyon and Sunset View Elementary Schools, Springville Civic Center, Provo High Recreation Center and many distinguished residences. Some buildings on the BYU campus that were designed with associates Fred Markham and Willard Nelson are the Richards P.E. Bldg., the Martin Widstoe Buildings, the Clyde Engineering Building, and the original Talmage Math-Computer Building. An entire new generation of LDS Church buildings was designed by Bruce when he was the architect for the Pleasant View Chapel located just north of the Missionary Training Center. This chapel will serve as the location for Bruce's funeral. He has received design awards from the American Institute of Architects, the American Concrete Institute, Sunset Magazine, and the Intermountain Chapter of Producers Council, among others. He served as president of the Utah Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, member of the National Council of Architectural Boards, 18 years with the American Concrete Institute at Utah State University, and 25 years as a member of MIT's Education Council. In Provo, he served on several planning and zoning committees, and for 14 years on the city's Board of Review. He served as president of the Timpanogos Kiwanis Club and was a 40-year Kiwanian. An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he has served in many priesthood and auxiliary organizations, and he especially enjoyed working with scouts and youth. He and his wife have traveled extensively in Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe, Scandinavia, and the United Kingdom enjoying some of the outstanding architecture of the world. Bruce decided early in his marriage that he would never raise his voice when speaking to his children. He taught, he listened and he delighted in projects that encouraged those around him to develop creative skills as well as character. He observed beauty in nature and in structural design. He was always helpful to family and friends in finding ways to make things more aesthetically desirable as well as more functional. He was a veritable fountain of ideas and creative solutions for any kind of structural design. He thrived in an environment of love and friendship. Even when his health caused some limitation of activity, he was ever appreciative of home grown, home cooked dining. His gleeful enjoyment of board games (some home designed) will provide happy memories for his children and grandchildren. Bruce is survived by his wife of 54 years, Colleen, and four children: Lynn Ann (Paul) Farnsworth, Centennial, Colorado; Joan Dixon, Provo; David (Alexandra) Dixon, Houghton, Michigan; and Kristin (Michael) Yates, Elizabeth, Colorado; and by eight grandchildren, He is also survived by his sister Gloria Dixon (Thomas) Richardson, and brothers, Floyd Dixon (Lois), Robert Dixon (Genniel), and Douglas Dixon (Helen).
