Michael Allen Dicke, 54,
passed away at his residence in Leipsic, Ohio on June 10, 2020. He was born December 28, 1965 in St. Marys, Ohio, the son of the late Don L. Dicke, and Lois A.

Mike was a 1984 graduate of New Bremen High School where he enjoyed playing football. He followed in his father’s footsteps and worked at the former Dicke’s Service Station in New Bremen for several years. He continued his career as an independent truck driver, traveling the United States and enjoyed taking his dogs along with him. He loved working and driving his trucks. He had a special place in his heart for his dogs, and loved to take them everywhere he went.

    We link our sadness with yours, as we mourn together the loss of Mike. Our family has sweet memories of his life. When Mike stepped into a room, he made his rounds to give big hugs and would always pause to ask how you were doing. He sincerely cared. Mike’s eyes would light up and he’d break into a big smile when he talked about his son Derik. He was so proud of him. Now free from life’s struggles and poor health, Mike has the privilege of applauding his son’s successes and watching his grandson grow up from the windows of heaven. We stretch our arms of love out to all of you from Alaska.
