Ernest Dicks Obituary
September 21, 1953 - December 13, 2024
Ernest Jay Dicks, born on September 21, 1953, in Iowa, passed away on December 13, 2024 in Albuquerque. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and veteran who proudly served his country in Vietnam.
A skilled and passionate mechanic, Ernest worked as both an airplane and motorcycle mechanic, dedicating his life to his craft and his love for machinery. His hands were rarely still, whether he was fixing an engine, sharing his knowledge, or helping those in need.
Ernest is survived by his wife, Patricia Dicks; his cherished daughters, Shandy Hennigh (Lee Hennigh) and Sunshine Stellmon; his beloved grandchildren, Heaven, Emry, Aniyah Havana, Sophia Rose, and Cruz; and his precious great-grandchildren, Simon and Noah. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A service to honor Ernest's life will be held at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 9:30 AM on February 7, 2025.
