James Michael Dickinson, my sweet Jim Dear, beloved father & Gramps, great friend to all, fought valiantly for his life for 4 devastating months. He went to Heaven to see his mother, Stevie, and his grandbaby Arabella on the early morning of November 12th, 2025. He tried so hard to stay, but the angels took him from us. He suffered from a shocking series of events after getting a tetanus shot that caused heart attacks, a DKA, a brain bleed, a stroke, kidney failure, & too many more injuries to list. He is gone way too soon at the young age of 57. Our hearts are broken, but grateful he no longer suffers as he did. Jim was born in Germany while his dad was in the service. He lived in various places in his life where he fell in love with the ocean & mountains. Jim met the love of his life, Tammy Jorgenson, in High School choir class at the tender age of 15. He loved to tell anyone that would listen their love story & about his 'dream girl'. Life separated them for a time, but brought them back together to be married for 21 years. Her greatest joy was being married to her best friend, her partner, her incredibly husband, the Dad the kids loved dearly, & the Gramps the Grandkids adored. Jim was brilliant. He was self-taught in everything computer-related. He worked his way up to IT Infrastructure Engineering at the largest credit union in the State of Arizona, Arizona Federal Credit Union. There, he made many friends, had the best coworkers & teammates. He loved working there & what he did. He loved games & gaming. He would play games for any event with anyone. He had scores of board games, VR games, & was a Dungeons & Dragons professional Game Master that ran Pro games every week for years. He loved to engage in intellectual discussions and challenge your ideas. He loved sci-fi, Marvel movies, theaters, musicals, & acting. He lived for mountain trips with his wife & family, ocean vacations with his family & wanted to spend all his time with them. He was an amazing family man. You were lucky if you got to know him; he was a one-of-a-kind soul. There was nothing more important to Jim than his family & spending time with them doing any activity. He loved to take them to movies, to dinners, on trips, play games of all kinds, family get-togethers for everything, BBQ in the backyard, read books to them, to have week-long conversations about things that interested him, & making sure they were ok. His heart was huge & was so loving. His hugs would heal you. His smiling eyes brightened any room he came into. His sense of humor is famous - he loved his Dad jokes & told them any chance he got. He loved to hear people giggle - it made his whole day. Jim is survived by his adoring wife, Tammy Dickinson, his children, (Tristan) Shaine Dickinson, (Michael) Dallin Dickinson, Destiny Dickinson, Cherish Dickinson, Davon Michael Christensen, Mikaylee Christensen, Corban Curry, Brianna Hill, Dallin Curry, & Garren Curry. All his daughter-in-laws, Erica, Kristen, Natalia, Jessica & Callie, as well as his son-in-law Brent. His beloved grandkids: Millie, Nova, Melody, Nolan, Harper, Fynn, Elle, Linlee, Elayna, Marley, Cooper, Tonareya, Taylen, & Presley. He was so proud of all of them & adored being Gramps & Dad. We are so blessed & lucky to have had him as Ours.
