Fred Dickson, 97, of the Prices Creek community of Adair County, KY passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by family, on Monday, June 10, 2024. He was born to the late Charlie Lee and Emma Shirley Dickson on September 28, 1926.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Myrtle Moore Dickson; a daughter, Linda Dickson Wilson; two brothers: Carl, and Ernest Dickson; and two sisters: Lula Mae Bragg and Marie Dickson.
Mr. Dickson made a profession of faith at an early age and was a member of Prices Creek Missionary Baptist Church where he attended faithfully until recently when his health failed. He was a World War II Veteran serving in the US Army as a medic. He was also a familiar face to many from his 44 years of employment at Adair Automotive. He will remain in our hearts as the strong, loving man we fondly called Dad, Pa Fred, and Poppy.
