Reid C. Dickerson, age 95,
passed away peacefully on April
25, 2020.
Reid was born on June 5,
1924, in Franklin, NE, and spent
his childhood on a farm in rural
Chase County, NE. After serving
in the Navy he completed his
degree in Agronomy at the
University of Nebraska where he
met his wife, Phyllis. Reid was
an agriculturist for Great Western Sugar in Nebraska, Montana,
and Colorado.
After raising their family in Hysham, MT, and Loveland, CO,
Reid and Phyllis retired to Grand Junction in 1988. Reid spent most
of his time outdoors gardening, playing golf, bicycling, fishing,
hunting, camping, and exploring the desert West. He was a football
enthusiast (go Huskers!) and enjoyed volunteering at the Museum
of Western Colorado and Cross Orchards Living History Farm. He
cherished spending time with family and his role as a father and
grandfather. The foundation of his life was guided by his strong
Christian faith. He was an active member of the Redlands United
Methodist Church.
Reid is preceded in death by his sisters, Fay and Eloise; son, Rob,
and son-in-law, Don. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Phyllis;
four children and their spouses, Dave and Vicki; Anne and Bob;
Jim and Dot, and Wendy, and Kathy; grandchildren, Russ, Keith,
Janna, Emma, Jake, and Sam, and two great-grandchildren, Reid
and Jane.
