Timeline for Fred Dickey Jr.
Born: January 24, 1949
Died: August 7, 2023
Fred Dickey, Jr., 74, was greeted by the Lord as he rejoiced into Heaven, on Monday, August 7, 2023. Mr. Dickey is preceded in death by parents, Fred and Esther Kowalski Dickey, and sister, Diane Dickey Gebhart.
Born and raised in Laredo, Texas, Fred was fortunate to attend private school. It was at St. Joseph’s Academy where he found his love for football and played various starting positions. In junior high, he attended Lamar Middle School and later attended Nixon High School where he continued to play football until a knee injury derailed his passion. It was after this, that he made a decision to leave school and was hired at Nieto Funeral Home to work various jobs. He was inspired and encouraged by Lauro Hernandez, to pursue a career where he could have a positive impact on the community. He was motivated to return to Nixon High School and this is where he met his future wife and love of his life, Sadie Buitron. Upon graduation from J.W. Nixon High School in 1969, he immediately attended Commonwealth College of Health and Mortuary Science in Houston, Texas in pursuit of his dream. In order to finance his education, Fred worked driving an ambulance in Houston, Texas. In 1971, after completing his education he served as a funeral director in different cities including Falfurrias and Corpus Christi. Soon after he returned to Laredo, he married his high school sweetheart in 1972 and began their family.
In September 1991, Fred had the opportunity to purchase the funeral home where he had once worked, Nieto Funeral Home. Fred was able to turn around a struggling funeral home and make it thrive in order to better serve his community. Fred always said, “To God be the Glory.” His passion and drive to provide for his family, led him to purchase Buitron Funeral Home. He then built Fred Dickey Funeral and Cremation Services in October 2013, where he continues to serve his community to this day. In 2016, Fred was recognized as a Mustang Legend, where his motivating speech concluded with, “The best thing about this school is I took home my Golden Spur and married her and remember…Never ever, never, ever, EVER, give up!”
In 2021, Fred received his 50-year pin recognizing his service in the Funeral Service Industry. Fred realized the southern part of his community needed quality and affordable care as well. He started the building of Nieto Funerals and Cremations and saw it to its completion in May 2023. Mr. Dickey was able to complete his dream of starting, completing and operating his new venture. He always said, “To God be the Glory!” Fred Dickey was a protector and provider for his family. He was a courageous risk taker, an innovator, and a generous servant of the Lord. This avid University of Texas Football fan enjoyed attending games annually with his wife and friends. His Sundays were special and important to him as he spent hours visiting with his brother over the phone and ended the evenings cooking out with his family. He loved serving at Grace Bible Church where he grew his faith in the Lord.
“To be absent from the body, and be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8
He is survived by his wife of 50 years of marriage, Sadie Dickey; children, Christy (Rick) Muñoz, Fred (Yesenia) Dickey, III, and Sarah (Aldo) Dickey-Boyless; grandsons, Samuel Frederic Boyless and Frederic “Charlie” Dickey, IV; brother, David (Leslie) Dickey; family caregiver Conchis Cruz, as well as other family members, his work family, and friends that will greatly miss him. Pallbearers will be: Aldo Boyless, Rick Muñoz, Marco Martinez, Rocky Bruni, John Dickey, David Dickey II, and Robert Castillon. Honorary Pallbearers will be: Fred Dickey III, Charlie Dickey, Samuel Frederic Boyless, Jorge Buitron, Roberto Buitron, Juan Guerra and Jim Fulgham.
The Dickey family will be receiving guests on Sunday, August 13, 2023, in the Angelus Chapel at Fred Dickey Funeral & Cremation Services from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A prayer service will be officiated by Rev. Eddie Aranda at 7:00 pm. Interment will be held privately at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to consider donating to ministries and churches that made an impact on his faith. They are the following: Victorious Christian Harvesters at vcharvesters.org, Primera Iglesia Bautista primeralaredo.com, and Grace Bible Church at gracelaredo.org.

Our most sincere condolences to the Dickey family. Victor knew Fred personally when he worked with him many years ago at Nieto Funeral Home. His passion for his work is exemplified in the creation of his own Funeral home. We have attended several services there and we are very impressed with the service they provide and allowing the families to give eulogies of their deceased family member . May Fred Dickey rest in peace and may God give all his family the strength they need during this time.
My condolences to all Fred's Family, He will be missed by all my family. He was such an amazing, humble, caring, giving, happy and just someone that you would like to carry a conversation with. He made me laugh when we would talk, I know that he is resting in paradise where there is no more pain. Blessing to all his beautiful family.
I'm very saddened to hear of Fred’s passing. Please know that I am thinking and praying for the family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace Fred.
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Fred, may God comfort and provide peace for the Dickey family in their time of mourning.
Dear Sadie, my most sincere condolences on the passing of Fred. I pray that God give you and your family the strength to get through these most difficult days. May he rest in Peace. My apologies for being unable to attend his services-I am out of town.
I wish to extend my sincere condolences on your loss.

From the Zamarripa families our most sincere condolences for the Dickey Family. May his soul rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him.
To Sadie and the rest of the family of one of my dearest friends, Fred Dickey please receive our deepest condolences. __________ I’m already missing the telephone conversation Fred and I will never have again and especially that always warm greeting that I could count on to accompany every single call. “Cómo está, mi Tony?” Fred and I seldom discussed death, having agreed long ago, that death was certain but exclusively God’s Will and God’s alone. The friend that I knew, was a man of great faith and I’m therefore certain the end was peaceful. I selfishly wish I could have been there, allowing me a personal goodbye. A man deep in integrity, Fred also professed long ago, his firm belief that in this life, it was not the number of years that we lived but how we lived those years that mattered the most. In that sense, my brother, Fred is also certain and worthy of resting in peace. The legacy Fred managed to extract with his hand and hard work from this life that he leaves to his family is an amazing one. I am very proud and grateful to have been blessed with the opportunity to share that life with him and be part of it. In the last few days, I’ve found little comfort anywhere in dealing with the shock, and grief in Fred’s passing. In my desperation, I prayed and reached out to Fred’s pragmatic personality asking Fred for a sign or whisper in my ear, letting me know that he’s in a better place now where all of this life has been explained and everything is good. Instead, to my surprise, in my own thoughts, I felt Fred ask instead that I let go of my grief. As always, logically explaining that my grief wouldn’t change anything at this point and that it’s time for everyone to move on. I anything, it made me realize, that mentally I wasn’t ready to do that just yet. Instead, I’ll continue to gather as many memories as my memory bank will hold with a special place for those where my joke or story moved my dear friend, Fred, to the point of that unique and booming laughter. May that vivid memory of Fred’s laughter, never fade until we should meet again. Fred’s Loving (BFAM) Friend Tony Torres Houston, TX (BFAM)

The world will be far worse off with someone like Mr. Dickey taken from. He had a good sense of humor and a kindness about him that are rare in today's day and age. When we met him for the first time, we got a glimpse of his genuine faith in the Lord and what he shared with us will always be cherished by my wife and I. I only wish that I had met years back because I have no doubt that we could've learn a lot from him. In no words could we say that we know what you are going through, it would be far from the truth. We only know that it is a very painful period in your lives. He will be missed by many, please accept our deepest condolences. Our prayers are with the family. Johnny & Mary Lopez

I was co-owner and partner at Rosewood Funeral Chapels in Victoria, Texas and Richardson/Colonial Funeral Home in Port Lavaca, Texas until I retired in May 2016. To the entire Dickey family I am so sorry for the loss of my long time buddy Fred. Fred was one good guy could get along with anybody. I had the pleasure of going to mortuary school with Fred in 1969-70. I used to ride ambulance with Fred in Houston at I believe Niday Funeral Home. When you got in the ambulance with Fred you better hold on for a ride of your life. We had some fun times at mortuary school. I saw Fred many years ago when I had a graveside in Laredo. He was still the same old Fred and really hadn't changed a bit. I will cherish the times we had together. May god bring his blessings upon the entire Dickey family. God bless you Fred job well done buddy.
My deepest condolences to the Dickey family.
To The Family of Fred Dickey, Jr. Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences. I am terribly sorry to hear that your beloved Fred has passed away. Do find solace in knowing that he will be remembered in my daily prayers and may his soul rest in peace. My name is Gilberto Quezada and I am originally from Laredo and graduated from St. Augustine High School in 1965, and now live in San Antonio. I was introduced to Fred through his compadre Juan P. Guerra Jr. via an email on Friday, January 31, 2020. We communicated on a weekly basis via emails and the last one I received from him was on Sunday, July 9, 2023. We exchanged a total of 528 messages during our friendship. I feel I have lost a very important friend who could never be replaced and it was one of the greatest privileges of my life to have known him, even though we never met in person. He was always thoughtful, interesting, and I will always remember the love he had for his family, his community, and his God. My thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow and I pray that our loving God will grant you the strength and courage to accept His divine will. May God give you peace and fill you with joyous remembrances of him. With deepest sympathy, Gilberto Quezada San Antonio

To The Family of Fred Dickey, Jr. Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences. I am terribly sorry to hear that your beloved Fred has passed away. Do find solace in knowing that he will be remembered in my daily prayers and may his soul rest in peace. My name is Gilberto Quezada and I am originally from Laredo and graduated from St. Augustine High School in 1965, and now live in San Antonio. I was introduced to Fred through his compadre Juan P. Guerra Jr. via an email on Friday, January 31, 2020. We communicated on a weekly basis via emails and the last one I received from him was on Sunday, July 9, 2023. We exchanged a total of 528 messages during our friendship. I feel I have lost a very important friend who could never be replaced and it was one of the greatest privileges of my life to have known him, even though we never met in person. He was always thoughtful, interesting, and I will always remember the love he had for his family, his community, and his God. My thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow and I pray that our loving God will grant you the strength and courage to accept His divine will. May God give you peace and fill you with joyous remembrances of him. With deepest sympathy, Gilberto Quezada San Antonio
