Bill > HR0502

This resolution mourns the death of Kirby Joseph Dixon, a young man from Alton, Illinois, who passed away on September 18, 2025, after a 15-month battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. The resolution highlights Dixon's life and accomplishments, including being homeschooled, earning a welder's certification, co-founding Ninja Moving LLC with his brother in 2022, and participating in an innovative medical study as the first human to receive direct brain injections of natural killer cells to target cancer. It emphasizes his involvement in his church, The Block Church, his love for music and sports, and his close-knit family relationships. The resolution notes Dixon's selflessness during his illness, his continued generosity through tissue donation, and his maintained sense of humor throughout his medical challenges. The Illinois House of Representatives officially mourns his passing, extends condolences to his family and friends, and plans to present a copy of the resolution to his family as an expression of sympathy.
