Kenneth William Dickson

As a child he learned the value of family and was brought up in a loving household that became his standard for family life. Even in modest living circumstances, family and love became his mantra. This would hold true as a young man that was drafted at the height of the Vietnam war into the Army where he found himself assigned to an intelligence unit in Germany. It was there he would learn the discipline of service, raise a few beer steins and find the love of his life, Cherri. After a brief courtship, true love had found them both and they married in Munich. They would begin their life journey of love together in Philadelphia and later in Miami and Atlanta.

Working tirelessly many jobs over the next few years, Ken and Cher maintained two things, their undeniable love for each other and their conviction to be a loving supportive family. Ken continued to strive for a better future for the family and eventually found his way to success working for Southern Bell. He attained a promotion which brought the family to Atlanta for a better opportunities. Mollie made this move with the family. Over the next decades Ken would go on to have accolades and accomplishments such as continuing his education and receiving his MBA at Kennesaw State. He also became a project manager for Cox Communications.

Among his favorite past times were family vacations, traveling, golf outings and supporting local sports teams. He also had a deep love of music. He was witty with a brilliant Scottish sense of humor and told fantastic stories that left everyone in stitches.

He will forever be celebrated and remembered for his patience, dedication, loyalty and love to all who were blessed to know him.
