A member of Plunketts Creek Missionary Baptist Church, he was our song leader for many years. I don't think I remember a Sunday that he missed services until these last few years. Bro. Dewey was at church any time the doors were open. Another of God's saints has went home. I will forever be grateful for the love this man showed me and my family.
Elder Jr. Dickerson will conduct his funeral Friday, 2/23/2018, at Sanderson Funeral Home in Carthage, TN at 3:00pm. Visitation will be from 1:00pm until service time.
The family has requested memorials to the Plunketts Creek Missionary Baptist Church.
