Ashley had a diverse work history, starting in maintenance at GEO Prison and later working as a truck driver for Jernigan Oil and CRMP. He found joy in his profession, using his skills to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. Outside of work, Ashley had a deep love for nature and the great outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, walking through the woods, and being on the land. Whether it was observing wildlife from tree stands or simply mowing the grass, he found solace and tranquility in the beauty of nature. His children held a special place in his heart, and spending quality time with them brought him great joy. Some of his happiest moments were watching Drew play sports and cheering in the stands with Steven. Ashley will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Hi Valerie, I am a really good friend of Chris Dixon. Chris and I are also strong brothers in JESUS CHRIST. We talk often in lifting up JESUS in fellowship and in pray. Chris shared the accident your husband was in while driving a dump truck. Valeria, that really hit me very deep as I could hear the sense of lose in Chris’s voice. I am extremely honored to pray for you and your two boys, Steven and Drew. GOD BLESS you and your family during this time.
Almighty GOD please hear my pray. I come to you for Valerie and her two boys. Steven and Drew and lift them up high in the MIGHTY and Loving name of JESUS Christ our LORD and SAVIOR.

Suffer not the death of a husband, a dad, a best friend and parter in life so loving and giving in every way, But help them celebrate the greatness, kind heart , the desire to take care of his family and for each time he was always there for his love ones. Let them know and feel that BO is just in the next room. Unseen, Unheard. Unabable to touch them an is patiently waiting for the time that all of them will be reunited one again FOR ALL ETERNITY. I GIVE YOU ALL THE PRAISE HONOR AND GLORY TO YOU FATHER GOD THAT MY PRAYER WILL BE ANSWERED in THE MIGHTU POWER
