He was born on June 29, 1941, in Bluffs, IL, the son of William A. and Madelyn M. Pile Brockhouse.
Dickie was a kind-hearted, hardworking man, and devote Lutheran who deeply loved his family and community. He was known for his warm smile and laughter, strength, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. He had a passion for woodworking, often spending hours in his shop creating beautiful, handcrafted pieces for family and friends.
He also loved to travel and found great joy in exploring new places and experiencing the beauty of the world with those closest to him.
Surviving are his children, Bret (Christy) King of San Tan Valley, AZ, Deanna (Kun Jo) Jung of Anaheim, CA, and Tian Scheer of Gilbert, AZ.

Dickie was an Elder and member of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Jacksonville. Before retirement, he was employed by Freesen Inc. in Bluffs as a superintendent. Prior to that, he worked as a skilled and dependable truck driver, a role he took great pride in.
He was also a proud member of the Elks in Jacksonville, where he built many lasting friendships over the years.
