Brian and his wife, Melanie, share a unique blended family story. Together they are raising four children—three boys and one girl—with Matthew being the oldest. Their journey looks different from many, as they were brought together through the loss of a spouse rather than divorce.

Brian shared that when a marriage ends in divorce, often the photos and reminders are taken down. But when a spouse passes away, the memories become something you want to preserve and honor. He reflected on how loss has impacted him, Melanie, and their kids, and offered heartfelt advice for other blended families walking a similar path.

Brian brings a wealth of experience—having spent two decades in IT Development Operations. Melanie works at Liberty Mutual, and together they call Prosper home while being active at Chase Oaks Church.

The Dickeys are passionate about supporting and growing Blended Together Forever, and we are grateful to have them share their journey with our community.
