Here's something I wrote about Coach Dickey. He left quite a mark on many.


My husband, Howard Evans, coached with Jimmy at C. E. King High School in the early 60's. This was Howard's first coaching job and he always remembered this time with Jimmy and always followed his career. So sorry to hear of his passing.  Rest in peace Jimmy.

My sincere sympathy to Jim, Jr., Darrell, and families. I have so many happy, fun memories of your Dad and Mom. Our time  at OU was special. I hope your many memories will help you as you grieve. You all are in my prayers.
Hugs,

I WAS AT K-STATE IN 1977 WHEN COACH DICKEY ARRIVED,WE HAD ENDURED ANOTHER 1-WIN SEASON AND MY HOPES OF NFL CAREER WAS SHATTERED BY AN KNEE INJURY. THE PRIOR HEAD COACH HAD BEEN FIRED AND I WAS LACKING 18HRS TO GRADUATE. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET ANOTHER YEAR OF SCHOLARSHIP. THE COACH HANDLING THE GRADE ASSISTANT PROGRAM TOLD ME TO GO IN AND TALK TO COACH DICKEY AND ASK HIM IF HE WOULD EXTEND MY SCHOLARSHIP FOR A 5TH YR. I WENT IN AND IMMEDIATELY COACH DICKEY WELCOMED ME, IN LIKE I WAS ONE HIS ON,IT DIDN'T HURT THAT I WAS FROM THE HOUSTON AREA ALSO. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND HE PUT ON SCHOLARSHIP AS A GA HANDLING THE STUDY HALL FOR ALL THE FRESHMAN ATHELTES COMING.  I THANK GOD FOR COACH DICKEY BECAUSE OF HIS GENEROUSITY AND KINDNESS,I GRADUATE IN 1979 WITH MY BS. MY CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY..  KEITH NELMS 79'

So sorry to hear that Coach Dickey has passed. In my first head football position, he was so kind to me and gave me such sage advice that any young coach would appreciate. I'm sure he and my father are already catching up on old times and even drawing up some X's and O's. RIP Coach.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of loss. So many memories from that cold KSU Independence Bowl to Darrell's days at UNT. 
God bless!

Coach Dickey, was a great father, teacher and coach.. The amount of young peoples lives he affected is in the thousands..What he did at Kansas State was amazing..My deepest to the family..

I was fortunate that Coach Dickey gave me the opportunity to work for him at K-State. His one-liners and stories will be remembered by all who knew him. His compassion and honesty endeared him to his players and staff.Besides being a coach, he taught life lessons to his players. Blessings to the Dickey Family.

To the Dickey Family,
I was very sorry and saddened to hear of the passing of my "main man" , Coach Dickey! I was blessed to have been coached by him at UNC from 1975 thru 1977. I held him and his family in high regard.  May God continue to bless Darrell, Jimmy and the family.

What a wonderful time at K-State when we were going to our 1st BOWL.  Thanks for the memories and I'm sorry for your loss. May God bless your family.
Sincerely, Mil Sanderson '60

To the family please except my condolences.  I met coach first day he came to KSU.  Loved him from our first meeting.  Always enjoyed our talks and his ability to motivate and develope young men.  Thanks for the life lessons Coach, always enjoyed playing for you!

To the family - I'm so, so sorry for your loss. May the Lord comfort you and hold you close during this time.

"Coach" guided the team to K-State's first bowl game in 1982/83 - my senior year.  I'll never forget that.  Thanks for the memories Coach Dickey.

Coach Dickey was a great guy.  As a walk on at K-State he treated me the same as everyone else.  He gave me every opportunity to participate in the football program.  I'm very sad to hear of his passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Dickey Family.
