Dear Friends and Loved Ones,
It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Charles "Bear" Dickerson on January 30, 2025, due to a heart attack. Charles was a beloved husband, brother, son, father, and dear friend who touched the lives of all who knew him. His absence leaves an unimaginable void, and he will be profoundly missed by everyone blessed to share in his life.
Charles, known to many as "Pete," was a kind, generous, and warm-hearted soul. He had a unique gift for bringing joy to others, whether through a heartfelt conversation, a playful prank, or his infectious laughter. Always ready with a smile, Pete had a special way of making people feel welcome and loved. He was passionate about cooking and loved sharing his culinary creations, often marveling at how he could "just throw things together" and create something amazing. His kitchen was a place of warmth, filled with laughter and delicious aromas, where everyone felt at home.
Pete's generosity knew no bounds—he was the kind of man who would open his home to anyone in need. Whether it was a place to stay, a warm meal, or simply a listening ear, Pete was always there. His kindness and compassion touched many lives, and his legacy of love and care will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
In this incredibly difficult time, Charles' sudden passing has left his wife, Melinda, facing the overwhelming burden of handling everything on her shoulders. Along with the emotional pain of losing her beloved husband, she now bears the unexpected financial strain of memorial and funeral expenses. As family and close friends navigate this heartbreaking loss, we are reaching out to ask for your support in giving Charles the dignified farewell he deserves.
We have created this campaign to help ease the financial hardships that come with such an unexpected loss. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated and will go directly toward covering the memorial and funeral expenses and providing some relief for Melinda during this challenging time.
Your kindness and generosity will not only help honor Charles "Bear" Dickerson's memory but also offer comfort and support to Melinda as she faces the road ahead without her beloved Pete.
On behalf of our family, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your love, support, and compassion. Your contributions mean the world to us, and your kindness will forever be remembered.
Rest in peace, Pete. Your laughter, love, and light will never be forgotten.
With love and appreciation, Tisha
