James Anthony Dickinson
Sept. 18, 1946-Dec. 29, 2023
Pleasanton, CA

James Anthony Dickinson-known to those who held him dear as Jim-embarked from this earth on December 29, 2023. Born in California on September 18, 1946, Jim's life was a canvas of adventure, warmth, and kindness.

As a father, brother, and son, his spirit resonated in the hearts of all who knew him. In his 77 years, Jim enjoyed his world and explored many hobbies, from the serene glide of a hang glider to the gentle ripple of a kayak on the water, each a testament to his childlike wonder and ceaseless curiosity.

Jim's friendships were not mere connections; they were soulful and unique, each were cherished deeply. His professional life as the owner of JDEnergy consulting, and as a collaborator with A&E design, was a large part of his daily life.

In the tapestry of Jim's life, threads of love and loss intertwine. He is survived by a constellation of hearts that beat in rhythm with the memories of his tenderness: daughters Jennifer and Amber, along with son-in-law Jason; grandsons Alec and Theo, who will carry forward his light; brothers Harvey, Robert, David, and Phillip, with sister-in-law Sally; sisters Margaret and Patricia; and a chorus of nieces and nephews. He now joins the celestial embrace of his late mother, Nancy Yolanda Emery, and father, Harvey Dickinson.
