Dannie Wilson Dick, 72, formerly of Graves County Ky., passed away Monday, January 14, 2013 at his home in Lutz, Florida. He was born November 23, 1940 at Lynnville, Kentucky, son of Dennis Melvin and Christine Wilson Dick. He and Barbara Jean Ferrell were married on May 29, 1970. Dannie was an avid sports fan who loved to watch the Tampa Bay Rays, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his Kentucky Wildcats. He passed his love of sports to his daughter, Stacy. They spent many hours debating teams and players each season. The highlight each week for Dannie was meeting all of his buddies at the Cuban Sandwich Shop for breakfast every Saturday morning. They were a group of men who formed a special bond over the many years they met for breakfast, supporting each other in all of their celebrations and sorrows. They delighted in trying to see who could tell the biggest story for the week. Dannie loved trading. If he was not trading hunting dogs, knifes, his guns or cars he was looking for something to trade. He was always willing to do whatever it took to make a deal, he once took a horse in on a car trade while working at DeWayne Taylor Chevrolet in Murray, Kentucky. Little did Dannie know that this trade would lead to his love of the horse show industry. He spent many hours riding and showing his horses and became an accomplished horseman. Survivors include his wife of 42 years, Barbara, and three daughters, Gayla Camacho of Murray, Kentucky, Teresa(Sean) Hegerty of Clarksville, Tennessee, and Stacy Perez of Lutz, Florida; two sisters Karen Wiggins and Cherry Babb, both of Mayfield, Ky.; three grandchildren, Shawna Hendon, Kristen(Tony) Heimpel, and Nick(Kaydee) Dammer, two great grandchildren; and one nephew, Trevor Babb.
