Publish in a newspaper

Gordon "Keith" Dickson was born on January 16th, 1954, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and passed from this life on November 14th, 2025, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Gordon was a devoted outdoorsman, he found his greatest peace with a fishing pole in hand or while setting up camp under a wide, star-filled sky. His passion for NASCAR ran deep, and he proudly embraced the title of "dirt freak," spending countless weekends watching dirt-track racing and cheering on the Blazers hockey team with enthusiasm. Gordon was an adventurer at heart. Some of his fondest memories were made on the road-whether traveling to Corpus Christi, Texas to enjoy the Gulf breeze, relaxing in Key West, Florida with its unforgettable sunsets, or exploring the sights and sounds of St. Louis. At home, he was never without the loyal companionship of his two support animals, Lacy and Racer-both spirited half-Chihuahua, half-Maltese mixes who brought him comfort, laughter, and unconditional love. A dedicated and hardworking man, he spent 30 years with Sky Chef, where he took pride in his craft. Later, he continued his commitment to service in the Moore Public School System's maintenance department, becoming a familiar and friendly presence to staff and students alike. His faith was a guiding force in his life. As a cherished member of Emmaus Baptist Church, he found community, fellowship, and deep spiritual fulfillment. He also gave back to the local racing world he loved, working the pit gate at the fairgrounds and I-44 Speedway. Gordon "Keith" Dickson is survived by his loving wife Debra Dickson; two brothers James Dickson and Dale Dickson; his mother-in-law Delois Lancaster; his loving animals Lacy and Racer; and all his nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his father and mother: Norris Dickson and Bobbie Jean Dickson. Gordon will be remembered for his adventurous spirit and may he find endless calm waters and wide-open speedways in heaven. The family of Gordon has requested family and friends to send donations to the Emmaus Baptist Church Building Fund. The family also invites speakers to share stories of Gordon during the service.
