DICKEY, Chad Anthony
On November 25, 2016, after a courageous battle with cancer, Dr. Chad Anthony Dickey passed from this world into the heavenly embrace of God. He brightened the world and touched innumerable lives for forty years. Chad leaves behind his loving wife, Adria; and two precious sons, Luke and Jake; his mother and father, Helen and Merrell Dickey; his brother, Merrell Dickey; his sister and brother-in-law, Charisse and Bill Cosgray; mother-in-law, Ann Beenhakker; brother and sister-in-law, Andre and Nicole Beenhakker; and five nephews and a niece. He was a dedicated son, husband, and father and a devoted Christian.
A graduate from King High School, Chad pursued undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies at the University of South Florida, while maintaining full academic scholarships and during which time he met Adria. He was a member of SAE fraternity.
Chad's impact on the field of Neuroscience has been felt worldwide. He was the first to find that proteins involved in learning and memory were selectively impaired in Alzheimer's disease models. The bulk of his recent work focused on defects in the removal of damaged proteins by cells. His greatest goal was to find a drug to reverse these defects, and he had made considerable progress in this quest. Over his tragically shortened career, Chad had five scientific patents and obtained more than 20 grants to support his research totaling over $20 million from NIH and other agencies. With these resources, he published over 65 scientific papers that have been cited by other researchers more than 4,000 times. Chad has trained an impressive group of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, whom have gone on to successful biomedical research careers who will carry on his legacy.
He enjoyed cooking, baseball, traveling, and spending time with his family. Although, Chad's life on earth with us was too short, his influence will last many lifetimes. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him.
Visitation will take place Friday, December 2, at 10 am, followed by a memorial service at 11 am, all at Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Dickey Education Fund.
