David DICKENS Obituary
"Curly" or "Bear"
Age 59, of Huber Heights, passed away Sunday, December 12, 2021, at Miami Valley Hospital. David survived many accidents and health complications during his life, but COVID-19 was an undefeated adversary.
David was a 1980 Graduate of Carroll High School. He enjoyed the outdoors, camping, fishing, boating and rappelling. David also had an interest in photography, but his real passion was always cars. He worked many years as an auto mechanic and enjoyed watching drag racing, motorcycle racing, attending car shows and restoring old Camaros.
He was preceded in death by his father, Arnold Dickens; and his two Rottweilers, Bear and Cassie. David is survived by his daughters, Kelli Smith and Aleisha Dickens; mother, Jean
Dickens; sister, Janet Dickens (Valerie); friend and mother of his daughters, Tracey Lynn; grandchildren, Sebastian, Serenity and Jesselle; and many other relatives and friends.
Mass of Christian Burial 10 AM Tuesday, December 21, 2021, at St. Peter Catholic Church, 6161 Chambersburg Road. Interment Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Monday from 5-7 PM at Marker & Heller Funeral Home, Huber Heights Chapel, 5844 Old Troy Pike.

My husband and I were neighbors of Dave back in the late 70's. He hung out at our house a lot and when he met Tracey, the four of us shared many good times together even after we moved to Yellow Springs. We always enjoyed his company and although we didn't keep in touch in later years, my husband and I would occasionally reminisce over fond memories of Dave. David was a good person with a kind heart. Love you Dave! Fly high.
Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
