Police said eight workers were on-site in a trench 500-600mm deep as a retaining wall collapsed nearby, trapping Dixon and his stepson. <\/p>\n
\u201cSix of those workers removed concrete from the injured man, and in doing so probably saved his life,\u201d Queensland Police Inspector Chris Pemberton said.<\/p>\n
Dixon\u2019s partner, Katarina Bell, said she was overwhelmed with grief. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhile I\u2019m so grateful and thankful my son made it out ok with nothing too serious, I am overwhelmed with disbelief, grief and massive waves of emotions,\u201d Bell wrote on social media. <\/p>\n

\u201cKimura you are the absolute love of my life. I have no idea how I\u2019m going to handle this new chapter without you.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you kissed me goodbye today I didn\u2019t think it would be the last kiss I\u2019d ever get from you. I wish I hugged you a little bit longer before you left.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dixon\u2019s daughter Rheign Reedy-Dixon told the Courier Mail he was \u201cthe most caring and amazing father ever\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe would\u2019ve done anything if it meant he could come home to us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe filled rooms with laughter and especially love.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope he wasn\u2019t scared and didn\u2019t suffer, I just wish we all could\u2019ve said goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n
