James Luther Dickerson

James Luther Dickerson, 54, of Carlyss, departed this world for his Heavenly home on Wednesday, July 23, while surrounded by his loved ones.

He is survived by his loving wife, Nadine; children, Michael Henry (Josie), Meghin Dickerson, Ryan Henry, John Dickerson (Hannah), Lauren Dickerson; mother, Peggy Miller Dickerson; sister, Jennifer Hernandez (Danny); brother, Jason Dickerson (Bernadine); and many other loving family and friends. James and Nadine were greatly looking forward to the arrival of their first grandchild, a boy, who is set to arrive any day now.

He was preceded in death by his father, John Leonard Dickerson.

James worked for Citgo Refinery Corporation for more than 35 years as an operator, shift foreman, and unit supervisor.

James and Nadine were members of First Baptist Church of Sulphur.

In the last few years, he and his wife had taken multiple very enjoyable trips to visit some of our beautiful National Parks and enjoyed incredible sights, hikes, experiences, and unforgettable moments that brought them even closer together.

A quiet, humble man who savored the simple things in life, James was happiest when he could be at home in the presence of his wife and family. But he and Nadine also enjoyed hosting their large extended family for memorable holidays and other celebrations.

James will be greatly missed by his family, friends, church family and work family.

His funeral service will be held on Saturday, July 26, at First Baptist Church of Sulphur, with visitation at 10 a.m., followed by the service at 12 noon. Burial will follow at Dry Creek Cemetery.

The Pallbearers will be John Dickerson, Ryan Henry, Jason Dickerson, Danny Hernandez, Doug Nevils and Kurt LeDoux.
