Mr. Floyd Lamar Dickey, age 78 Of Waverly, TN passed away Thursday, March 20, 2025, at his home. He was born January 2, 1947, in San Antonio, TX to Lamar and Ruby Dickey.

Proudly serving his nation, Floyd dedicated a significant chapter of his life to the military. He enlisted in the Navy, where he exhibited remarkable valor while completing three tours in Vietnam.
