It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Laurette Dickerson, wife of our head men's basketball coach Dave Dickerson and mother of men's basketball student-athlete, Dave III. Laurette courageously fought stage four breast cancer for nearly 5 years.
"On behalf of our department, we are heartbroken for Dave, D3 and the entire Dickerson family," said Daniel Feig, Director of Athletics. "Laurette fought her battle against cancer with courage and grace, and inspired so many with her strength and contagious positive disposition. Dave's been a pillar of strength for Laurette over the past few years, and their relationship a testament to true love and an example for us all. What Dave has balanced, both personally and professionally the last few weeks and months, has been truly extraordinary.
Please keep Dave, D3, and their entire family in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days and weeks as they grieve this unimaginable loss. Thank you for your support of the Dickerson family."
