Father Dickes was known as a man who committed himself to a life with the Lord, and being at the disposition of everyone - the suffering, the disabled, children and young people, married
couples, their families and the elderly. He loved the people he served. "Beneath the pulpit image" was a family man with a rare sense of humor, a boyish spirit, a great tease and one who enjoyed a good card game, music, sports, horse racing, travel in and out of the country and was an avid reader. Rural life held a sacred place in his heart. A leisurely drive in the country, visiting the family farm, was life giving and time well spent for him.
He was born on the family farm near Fordyce, Nebraska on May 9, 1923 to John and Agnes (Handorff) Dickes. He was the 8th of 16 children. Father Jerome attended Lammers Ranch Country School, St. John the Baptist School in Fordyce, and Holy Trinity High School in Hartington, NE. He studied for the priesthood at the Josephinum Seminary in Worthington, Ohio. The Apostolic Delegate presided at his ordination on May 30, 1948. A week later, he celebrated his first Mass at his home parish, the first priest ordained from St. John the Baptist Church.
During his 53 years of active priestly ministry, he served at several churches in Omaha: St. Agnes, St. Margaret Mary and St. James in which he was the founding pastor. He served at parishes outside of Omaha which include St. Henry in Howells, Sts. Peter and Paul in Butte, St. Wenceslaus in Dodge, St. Mary's in Schuyler, St. Michael's in Albion, Assumption in West Point, and St. John's in Pender. His journey of faith carried the flame of the love of Jesus to the people of God. His gentle, compassionate and generous spirit touched the hearts of many people. Father Jerome was a gift to the Lord, to his family and to all he served.
Catholic education was a big part of Father Dickes' life. Most of the parishes in which he ministered had a Catholic school connected to them. Before moving into a retirement center, he gave his home in Yankton to West Catholic School Endowment in Fordyce. Father Jerome spent the last four years of his life at Avera Majestic Bluffs Sister James Care Center. He deeply appreciated the physical and spiritual care he received while a resident in the facility. May he now be sharing in the gift of eternal life.
Father Jerome is survived by two brothers, Donovan (Del Rae) Dickes of Yankton and Donald (Bea) Dickes of Fordyce; five sisters: Leone Leise and Sister Rosaleen, OSB, both of Yankton, Delores (Roland) Healy of Mission Viejo, CA, Joanne (Robert) Healy of Omaha and Mary Lou Noecker of Hartington, Nebraska; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; four brothers: Ray, Ralph, Gerald and Robert Dickes; and four sisters: Lucille Huss, Irene Albers-Callaghan, Adeline Feilmeier and Esther Dickes.
