Raymond H. Dickson 1961-2020

Raymond, affectionately known as “Ray,” was born May 31, 1961 in Youngstown, a son of the late Robert and Despena Sambles Dickson.

Raised in Youngstown, Ray attended Woodrow Wilson High School. After graduation, he had plans to join the military, but during his senior year, Ray was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left him with debilitating frontal lobe brain damage.

He was gentle by nature and will be remembered for his favorite saying, “It is what it is!”

Ray is survived by his siblings, Robert (Mary Jo) Dickson of Youngstown, Rosemary (Bill) Balash of Youngstown, MaryAnn (Christopher) Colucci of Boardman and David (Diane) Dickson of Austintown; and a host of nieces and nephews.

There will be no calling hours or services.
