Bryan Kent Dickey was called Home after a long, courageous battle with cancer on Monday, July 9, 2018 at his home in Watsonville. He was 62.
Bryan was born in Arizona but grew up mainly in Fallon, Nevada. After graduating from Churchill County High School, he attended and graduated with a BA in Business Administration from Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho. He served in the USAF and Army National Guard of Idaho.
Bryan worked in accounting for various firms in the Central Valley of California and in Oklahoma. For the past 10 years he was the Chief Financial Officer for Community Action Board of Santa Cruz, Watsonville, California.
While working in Modesto, California, he met and married Renee (nee Weaver) Dickey. They celebrated 34 years together last October. They have three incredible sons who married three incredible women and had six incredible grandchildren, Jonathan Robert and Rebecca; (grandchildren: Jon Jr, and Allison) of Aptos, CA; Thomas Wilson and Niccole (grandchild: Elliott) of Oklahoma City, OK and Mark Allen and Kayla (grandchildren: Karli, Kassidy, and Kamryn) of Hubert, NC.
