David Lee Dickerson, 23 months old, Union Star, Missouri, passed away the morning of Thursday, November 27, 2025.

Ware; sister on the way, Emily Lynn Dickerson; grandparents, Janet "Mimi" Ware and Maya Saltkill; half sisters, Hannah and Audry Conover; aunts and uncles, James, Brendin and Mikayla Saltkill; and a loving extended family.
During his brief visit on earth, David enjoyed singing, dancing, listening to and playing music, cuddling with soft toys, being in nature, picking flowers, blowing bubbles, playing with cars, long drives, being in water, throwing and kicking balls, coloring, and being held close by his parents and grandparents. He was a joyful soul who brought smiles to all and was thoughtful, generous, and creative. He was loved by all who met him, and will be greatly missed.
