“My heart is shattered into a million pieces… my beautiful loving sister Deondra has transitioned… I say transitioned because she will always be alive… anyone who knew my sis… knew that she was a bright light,” Foxx captioned\u00a0a series of family photos<\/a>\u00a0through the years.<\/p>\n

His message continued, “I can’t tell you how many times we have had parties at the house where she has got on the dance floor and stolen the show… even gave her boyfriend @chrisbrownofficial a run for his money… well I know she is in heaven now dancing with her wings on.”<\/p>\n

In 2011, Dixon was named a Global Ambassador for the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.\u00a0According to an autobiography<\/a>\u00a0shared to the organization’s website, Dixon participated in the Special Olympics for nearly a decade and had aspirations of becoming a professional dancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
