Obituary published on Legacy.com by King Memorial Home on Jan. 20, 2026.
Don A. Dickerhoff, 69, of rural Warsaw, Indiana and formerly of Mentone passed unexpectedly on Monday, January 19, 2026 at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital of Warsaw, Indiana.

Don was born on October 12, 1956 in Warsaw, Indiana to the late Richard D. and Iris V. (Jones) Dickerhoff. He was a 1975 graduate of Tippecanoe Valley High School and then graduated Purdue University. He established in 1981, Tractor and Trailer Parts with his father, the company quickly became known as TTP, a division of Diesel Power and Machine. They relocated several times, growing the business working along with his brother Doug and Shop Foreman Mitch Ousley. He retired in 2024.

Don married Beverley Fozo on June 28, 2008, in Warsaw, and she survives. He was a devoted member of Warsaw Community Church and found great joy in the fellowship of the McDonald's coffee club. A proud supporter of Purdue athletics, he was an enthusiastic member of the John Purdue Club. Don had a deep love for animals and was a passionate advocate for their care and protection. He also generously supported the Kosciusko County Fair, especially enjoying the tractor and truck pulls.

Don cherished traveling with Bev, often visiting special places discovered by Amanda. He found happiness in golfing, biking, taking walks, and tending to his yard with his tractors. Together with Emma, they shared countless memories at Purdue basketball and football games, baseball, and basketball games. He also treasured shopping trips with Dan and was steadfast in supporting him through his kidney challenges. One of his greatest joys was supporting his grandchildren.

Don was a man of quiet strength and thoughtful, passionate, and deeply devoted to his family. Though he spoke few words, his love, opinions, and presence were always felt. He delighted in time spent with those he loved and brought a spirit of fun and togetherness to every family gathering.

He is survived by his wife Bev Dickerhoff of Warsaw; children Emma and husband Tyler Miller of Winona Lake, Dan R. Dickerhoff of Winona Lake, Philip Fozo of Warsaw, Amanda and husband Scott Baxter of Virginia Beach, Virginia; grandchildren Alex Fozo, Brandt Baxter, Hunter Baxter, Jade Iris Miller, and Reid Alden Miller; siblings Alicia and husband Dean Cervenka of Bozeman, Montana, Doug R.

I was notified of Don´s passing by a mutual friend Pete Letsinger. I was so sorry to hear of this and it brought back a flood of Purdue memories. I was a third floor dorm mate of Don at McCutcheon Hall. He was a good friend there and I knew even then he would work hard and do well in life. When his sister Alicia would visit the floor, all the guys would send up an "Alicia Alert" and of course go visit Don and it just so happened his sister was also there! Thank you all so much for sharing Don with us. Truly one of the good people on this earth.
