Ricky van Dison

Ricky Dison was a loving father, doting grandfather, and a caring friend. We are all truly shocked and heartbroken at his passing. There were so man things we had planned for the future that we did not get the chance to do. No one lives forever, but we were looking forward to making more memories and having you see us and your grandkids grow up. Ricky loved his family, Ford and fun. He always took pictures and kept special moments to remind him of the good times he had with the people he loved. He was one of the most reliable and selfless people in our life. If we needed help we knew we could count on him to be there. He freely gave his support without even being asked. He would always ask if anyone needed an oil change or their brakes pads replaced, or any other service he thought we might need just because he cared. He loved spending time with his loved ones and always ended every phone call and goodbye with "I Love You". We will all miss spending time with him and hearing his goofy jokes. Although he has left our world in body, he is still with us in spirit. He set a great example as a father and passed many things on to his loved ones like his sense of humor, his compassion, and his love for neat things. He has left his mark on all of us and in this way he lives on. We hope he knows that he was and always will be in our thoughts and hearts and the we loved him so much.

Ricky is survived by his daughter, Andrea Brown; his son, Mitchell Dison and his wife Lauren; 3 grandchildren, Ixchel Dison, Mishka Dison and Giovanni Dison; his brothers, Steve and Anthony Dison. Ricky was preceded in death by his parents, Virginia E. Galvin and Ernest E. Dison; and his brother, Lex Dison.
