HORNICK, Iowa | Jamie LeRoy Dicks, 51, our beloved brother, uncle, and friend of Hornick died peacefully on May 5, 2016, at Burgess Memorial Hospital in Onawa, Iowa, surrounded by his loving family.

Memorial services will be 10 a.m. Saturday at Westwood Community School in Sloan, Iowa. Burial will be in Climbing Hill Cemetery, Climbing Hill, Iowa. Visitation will be 9 a.m. until service time Saturday at the school. Arrangements are under the direction of Waterbury Funeral Service of Sioux City.

Jamie came into this world on June 5, 1964, to Leo and Maxine Dicks, and was greeted by his five older brothers and sisters who loved him dearly. Jamie was raised in Hornick and attended Westwood Community School, where he loved to play baseball. His favorite memory was going to state in baseball with a bunch of great guys. In 1983, he graduated from Westwood. Jamie worked at the Westwood School, which became his second family. At the school, anyone would see him playing tricks on the teachers and staff or helping kids open their milk containers during lunch.

Jamie was the jack of all trades. He loved to ride motorcycles, watch NASCAR with his friends, play baseball, but mostly spending time with his family and friends.

Left to cherish Jamie's memories are his three brothers, Larry (Evelyn) Dicks of Anthon, Iowa, Steve (Kathy) Dicks of Hornick, and Randy (Eric Gebo) Dicks of Tampa, Fla.; two sisters, Peggy (Phillip) Feddersen of Port Orange, Fla., and Kathy (Scott) Blakely of Smithland, Iowa; two aunts, Phyllis Dowlling of Hornick, and Dolores Hayworth of Garner, Iowa; and many nephews, nieces, and grandnephews and nieces.

Jamie was preceded in death, and will be reunited in heaven with his parents, Leo and Maxine Dicks.
