Jack Dix passed away the morning of October 6th, 2020 from complications of colon cancer. Jack was born April 11, 1936 to Glen and Clara (Britzman) Dix. He graduated from Glasgow High School in 1954.
He married Helen Demko on July 3rd, 1957. Two sons were born to this union. Jack lived a full and busy life. He was always on the go. We had only recently found this out, that Jack had participated in two years of High School Rodeo. In visiting with him about this, I know he had many great memories of this time and he still had a passion for rodeo, watching any and all rodeos that he could find on television. He was a member of the National Guard, he operated heavy equipment for Alan Stuber Construction. He drove truck for various owners, ending that career with owning his own truck and trailer. He worked at the Stockyards for many years. Farming and ranching was his life. He was an original member of Wittmayer Grazing. He farmed and ranched with son Gary, thinking he needed to work and be involved until the end. With son Robert, he pursued a passion for racehorses for many years. He had a gift of gab and was always part of an early morning coffee group. This was important for him. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren held a special place in his life.
He was preceded in death by wife Helen of 62 years. His parents and brother, Glen Jr. He is survived by his two sons, Gary (Janice) and Robert; grandchildren, Cody (Deon), Josh (Kayla), Jacob (Mc Kenna), Mychael, Cortney and Reese; great-grandsons Kade, Kase, and Jaxon.
At this time no services will be held. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jack’s memory to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be left for the family at bellmortuarymontana.com.

I am so sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. He always stopped in the bank to visit me, and I always enjoyed our talks, and later we would catch up in the grocery store. I will miss seeing him around. Sending prayers to his family!

I can still see Jack laughing at the time I took Mark one of his favorite race horses for bareback ride down to the tracks and back up to the house, this horse took off full blast and then made a sudden lefthand turn, sending me flying just missing a large rock , after I gathered my self , here Jack was standing buy the barn holding his side he laugh so hard , Jack and Helen were so good to us Kidds, they will truly be missed
Phillip Davison says
Mr Dix was my second Dad, as was Mrs Dix my second Mom. i would go and help Gary and Robert with the farm work and work on the snowmobiles, and Gary’s truck. They always made sure us kids were safe and well taken care of when we would play in the basement of their house. I am very sorry to hear of Jack’s passing

Sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. He was one of my dad’s best friends. I remember Jack and Sam’s Polaris shop back in the day and always the times out south at the Gideon place and sure enjoyed having coffee with Jack. Glasgow lost a good one. RIP Jack Dix

Jack sold me my very first registered Quarterhorse. Never forget that day as a kid hopping on the back of that two year old that wasn’t even broke yet…she never bucked but she could sure run!
