Craig Dickson Obituary

Craig Paul Dickson, 57, passed away on Monday, March 13, 2017, in Fort Worth. Memorial Service: 11 a.m. Saturday in the Leonard Memorial Chapel at First United Methodist Church, Fort Worth, Dr. Mike Marshall officiating. Craig was born May 13, 1959, in Little Rock, Ark., but got to Texas within just a few months, so he considered himself a native Texan. He grew up in Lubbock and Galveston. Craig graduated from Texas Tech University Law School and practiced in Lubbock and Fort Worth. Known as a quiet man with a big heart, Craig was an honest, hard-working family man active as an adult leader in Boy Scout Troop 50. Craig was preceded in death by his infant son, Virgil; his father, Paul Dickson; and his sister, Barbara Dickson Newton. Survivors: His wife, Dana Della-Rose Dickson; sons, Carter and Reed Dickson; his mother, Kay Dickson; and many extended family members.

I had the highest respect for my friend and fellow attorney Craig Dickson. He was a very caring and understanding attorney and I enjoyed working with him on various cases. Craig will be missed by myself and many others. When I ran for Tarrant County District Judge, Craig volunteered to help cover my cases in court. I truly appreciated him. To his family, please accept my sincere condolences.

I was so sorry to hear about Craig's passing. When he was on the other side of a case, I knew I was dealing with an honest person of great integrity. He was always professional and polite. This is not always the case for attorneys, but he could be counted on for this always. I know he will be missed by many and I will miss seeing him at the courts. I pray for your family and friends at this dark time.

I am honored to have been friends with Craig for over 20 years. It was a shock to hear of his passing. As a fellow attorney, Craig was always willing to consult or help out. Sometimes we would start off talking about work and end up talking about family, music, and other interests. Craig was a wonderful and compassionate person and family man who was very proud of his sons. Craig will be sorely missed by his friends, colleagues, and family.

Craig is a wonderful, thoughtful & kind person. I knew him through work at the courthouse in Fort Worth. He always had a smile and never forgot to ask about my family & my boys. He had great parenting advice for a frantic, young mother like me who had to bring her little boys up to work sometimes. I know he is sorely missed by his family, but please know that your husband and father touched so many lives each day. I will never forget his kindness to my children and to me. I wish we had more attorneys like Craig!
