In the heart of Kansas City, a 56-year-old man named Michael Dickerson passed away on February 26, 2017. Born on May 21, 1960, he had built a life in the city after moving his family there in 1983. A veteran of the U.S. Army, where he had served as a cook from 1979 to 1982, he was most recently employed at MWI Veterinary Supply. His life was one surrounded by a large and loving family, including his wife, Ima Dickerson, four children, and numerous grandchildren.
The circumstances of his
death are not detailed in publicly available sources, and there are no online records of any arrests or suspects in connection with his passing. His family and friends gathered to remember him at The United Church of Living God, with his final resting place being Greenlea Cemetery. He was remembered for his love of the Raiders, the color blue, and above all, his family.
In a separate and unrelated case in the same metropolitan area, another man with the same last name, Larry Dickerson, who was 63 and worked as a maintenance man at an apartment complex, was the victim of a homicide in July 2020. In this case, a suspect was arrested and charged with his death. However, this was a different individual and the events were not connected to the passing of Michael Dickerson in 2017.
