KEITH DICKEY

July 20, 2021

Keith Dickey born October 2, 1951 left for his heavenly home July 19, 2021. To meet Keith was to feel like you had known him all your life. He was definitely a people person. A deacon at Smithville Baptist Church and worked at Miller Steam Plant where he made many life long friends that he thought the world of. He was a jack of all trades and could do anything (just draw him a picture and he could get it done.) Born in Jefferson County raised in Birmingport, lived in Alliance and went to Oak Grove High School. He loved to laugh and to pull a good prank, was his delight. He funded many a family trip and spending time with his family was what made him the happiest. He was preceded in death by his mother Norma Lee Chaffin and brother Kenneth Dwight Dickey. He is survived by his wife of 48 years (5 happy years) Virginia McCarty Dickey; children Terah Ashley Harkey (Ryan), Brandon Keith Dickey (Regina); grandchildren Blake Allen Martin, Bradley Allen Martin, Aubani Paige Harkey, Brook Grace Harkey, Caleb Ryan Harkey, and August Renee Dickey; Dad Howard Donald Dickey (Jean); sister Sheila Borders (Rick); brother Tony Micheal Dickey (Jeannie); and a host of in laws, nieces and nephews that he loved to aggravate more than anything. He was loved by many and will be missed. A hole is left in our hearts for sure. The visitation will be Thursday, July 22, 2021, from 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM, at Smithville Baptist Church. The funeral service will be at the Church at 11:00 AM, with Bro. Phillip Hill officiating. Burial will follow at Smithville Cemetery.
