Stephen Parker Dibble, Jr.

September 22, 1971-September 9, 2025

Stephen Parker Dibble, Jr. passed away unexpectedly this Tuesday, September 9th in Macon, GA from multi-organ failure having fought harder than most ever knew. He was born in Nashville, TN to Stephen Parker Dibble, Sr. and Judy Kay Dibble (nee Shedd).

After the passing of both his parents at a very young age, Steve was raised by paternal grandfather, Parker Jordan Dibble and step-grandmother Margaret Dibble (nee Martin), and loved by paternal grandmother Helen Nadine (Deane)Taylor (nee Castleberry) and his step-grandfather Ed Taylor, his maternal Grandmother Georgia May Ivy (formerly Shedd, nee Jacobs) and step-grandfather James Ivy, and paternal Great-Grandmother, Edith Floy Dibble (nee Nell).

A true Nashville native, Steve, or 'Dibble' to friends, was one of the most gifted and talented audio engineers in Nashville during the late 80s and into the early 2000s. Steve attended Hillsboro High School, where he got his first taste of audio engineering during a recording studio class before working at the historic Bluebird Cafe after school. Throughout his career worked for the legends, the stars, and the bars, whether it was on the road touring or venues across town, he had a passion for live music audio. During his lifetime, he worked at many Nashville Establishments: The Ace of Clubs (closed), Exit/In, Rippy's Honky Tonk, the Palace, and Tootsies. He later moved to Panama City Beach, helping to open Tootsies sister location. Before is passing you could find Steve at Crazy Bulle in Macon, Georgia.

Steve was witty, clever, and intelligent, and never met a stranger. Easily recognizable by his trademark lisp, Steve was always the most entertaining personality at any industry gathering; his humor lifted everyone's spirits.

He leaves behind all his best qualities in his daughter, Lillian Grace Filler (Lilly). Steve is survived by his sister Andrea Dee Dibble-Sanders (Dee Dee), nieces Dolci Key Sanders-Lumby and Chaney Kay Wright (nee Sanders), his great-nephews: Cohen Christopher Wright and Canaan William Wright, and his great-nieces: Lennon Ivy Wright and Eden Lynne Wright.
