Steve Dick Memorial

In Loving Memory of Steven Ray “Steve” Dick.

August 31, 1947 – September 6, 2024.

Steven Ray Dick, known fondly as Steve, passed away on September 6, 2024, just days after his 77th birthday. Born on August 31, 1947, in Winfield, Kansas, Steve built a life rich with dedication to his work, an enduring love of music, and the warmth he extended to everyone around him. Over 35 years, he contributed his skills to the aircraft industry, leaving a lasting legacy at companies like Learjet, Boeing, and Spirit Aerosystems.

Steve’s love for engines and speed ran as deep as his kindness. When not in the shop, he was found enjoying cars, motorcycles, and boating. His joy for simple pleasures extended to evenings watching Wheel of Fortune or choosing the perfect songs for the jukebox—friends often trusted him with their picks, knowing he’d always play the best tunes.

Above all, Steve’s heart was with his family and friends. Whether helping neighbors or sharing a laugh over a drink, his spirit of generosity touched all. He leaves behind his wife, Sharon Dick, and a large extended family, including his son Marty and best friend, Billy Harris of Scotland.
