Earl Oscar Dick

Earl Dick, beloved husband, father, grandfather, family member and friend to many, died in his home on May 19, 2022 at the age of 67, after a difficult two-year journey with cancer. We lost a very fine man. Born November 2, 1954 as the youngest child to Clarence and Millie Dick, Earl enjoyed a close relationship with brother Arnie, and sister Dorothy. In his teenage years growing up in Forest Lake, MN, Earl's future wife, Jan Johnson Dick, caught his eye and their forever relationship began. Following his graduation from Winona State University, Earl and Jan married and moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma for his work promotion where they lived for four years. Earl completed his MBA at the University of Tulsa and they returned to Minnesota, where Earl began his 28-year marketing career with Cargill in 1985. Earl and Jan were blessed with the birth of son, Cody, and daughter, Logan; family was Earl's top priority in life. His passion was trout fishing the Driftless area of SE Minnesota and the North Shore, where he enjoyed camaraderie and nature with lifetime friend Jim Hollander. Earl and his family deeply appreciated the kindness of friends and family during his illness and the opportunity to learn what he meant to others. A humble man, Earl is described as a focused listener with kind eyes, sincere and authentic - a man who had his priorities straight. A high school quarterback and a clever athlete, Earl loved games of all kinds. With humility and humor, he brought joy and peace to others. A loyal friend, he was respectful to everyone he met, including his many caregivers. Earl will be deeply missed by family, long-term friends, and neighbors. He is survived by his wife Jan, son Cody Dick, daughter Logan Charles, son-in-law George Charles, new granddaughter Zoey Charles, brother Arnie Dick, sister Dorothy Peterson, brothers-in-law Dick Johnson and Dan Campanaro, sisters-in-law Cissy Dick, Debra Campanaro, and Becky Johnson, nephews and a niece and their spouses, many grand nieces and nephews, and cousins. A visitation will be held on Wednesday, May 25th from 4-6:30 pm at Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapel, 7625 Mitchell Rd in Eden Prairie. A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, May 26th at 11 am at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 1305 Excelsior Blvd, Minnetonka with a memorial reception at the Minneapolis Golf Club to follow. Earl and his family wish to thank the incredible community of people who have lifted them up through this tough journey. Memorials provided to the family will be directed to cancer research.
