Roy Allen Dickerson

Roy Allen Dickerson, of the White Gate community in Giles County, passed away on October 10, 2025, following a short illness.  He was born on February 5, 1947, in Radford, Virginia to the late Roby Allen Dickerson and Pauline White Dickerson.

Roy was a man who found great joy in the outdoors.  Whether fishing, hunting, or simply spending time in the wilderness, he cherished the beauty and peace of nature.  His love for the outdoors was something he took great pride in sharing with his children, passing along an appreciation for the natural world and the simple pleasures of time spent outside.

He was a proud veteran of the United States Army and valued his service to his country.  Throughout several decades, Roy also demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit, owning and operating small businesses throughout Southwest Virginia.

Roy was preceded in death by his loving wife, Margaret Carole Dickerson, with whom he shared many years of life and memories.

He is survived by his children, Karen Dickerson (McGrath) Pelland of Bainbridge Island, Washington, and Mark Dickerson of Houston, Texas; his stepchildren, Kim Hale and Frankie Stophel; his siblings, Connie Dalton and Bobby Dickerson; and his four grandchildren, Madeline McGrath, Katherine McGrath, Arie Dickerson, and Rafe Dickerson.  He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews who cherish his memory.

Roy will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, his independent and entrepreneurial spirit, his service to his country, and, most importantly, the love he shared with his family.  The memories he created with those he loved, especially the time spent enjoying the wilderness and the outdoors, will remain a lasting part of his legacy.

A graveside service will be Monday, November 2, 2026 at 12 Noon at the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Dublin, VA, with Chaplain Charles Damron officiating.  Military honors will be provided.
