Dedrick, I'm extremely thankful for the honor I was blessed with as one of your dispatchers. From running all those miles to coming into the office and sharing pics of your beautiful wife and children. You will be greatly missed. It's time to close the log book and watch over your entire family. To the entire Mims Family, may God comfort you during these times and may God bless all of you. Prayers to all of you, Sally Thatcher

Dedrick, this is hard....you, Drea, Bookie and me.....memories, I'll leave it at that...you know. Every now and then I think about that jet with an Afro and I fall out laughing. You were so silly and kept people in stitches. You are going to be missed. Rest In Peace ~Sharon Hill Covin

As a parent this is one of the hardest thing I had to tell my baby girl Jalyn. He was a wonderful dad to her and they had a bond that was unbreakalble. Their was no doubt she was a daddy girl. He was the easy parent to talk too about anything and let her have her way. Even when he was on the road he was just a phone call away, they spoke through viedo chat and she track his ever move. I Thank God we were great co-parents and was in great place in our life. We had her whole world set up for her and she didnt have to worry about a thing and funny thing about it she knew she was spolied. My daddy will get it for me was her words. This one hurts for so many reasons. We are taking it one day at at time. To Dedrick I promised you, her brother and I will take care of our baby girl with everything in me. Jalyn going to miss you and its going to be hard. The one thing I told her just like you protector her here on Earth in Heaven their no stopping you. Rest Easy My Friend and Thank you for everything

Love Marica Friend

Rest well my dear friend I promise to keep your memory alive love always,Anneka Scott

I don't think I knew Southside's real name until at least 3 full months after I met him at SWD. Always, always always lit up a room and kept you in stitches. The Lord is excited to have Dedrick in Heaven and thank you God for sharing him with us. RIP. Kenya S. (White) Vickers, SWD c/o '92

Dedrick Dedrick, this was a shock to all of us? You are going to be missed dearly, Oh wow you were the light of the family, when you walked in the room you know it wasn't nothing but pure genuine love. Love You Dedrick, Your Cousin KiaKia

This news hit like a ton of bricks. I shared my fondest memory of you with my husband as being my protector my first year of high school as my brothers had already graduated and weren't there to look after me but you did. Our Mothers were bestfriends but I considered you and Ombre my brothers. Rest Easy in Peace Dedrick.

Mr. Dedrick Mims on behalf of the Class of 1991 Southside Comprehensive High School. We will all miss you your smile and how you made us all laugh. The BEST DRESSED DUDE ON THIS SIDE OF TOWN, God whispered in your ear that all your work had been done, last mile to drop down on the logbooks. Well down my son now take your rest... To the entire Mims Family and Loved Ones. May God Bless You and be a comfort in these times. Love Sheree Mitchell c/o 1991 my Best Friend for LIFE... UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN SOUTHSIDE LAZER OUT

Dedrick was a very thoughtful and loving man. He made everyone smile when he was around. You could not find a more caring person. He loved his friends and family. God has a special angel now.

I would say to Dedrick, you are my favorite son-in-law. His response was I am your only son-in-law. I loved this young man from the very first meeting. He never forgot the things that were important to Charles and me. On Charles 85th Birthday, he was so helpful, that was the last time I saw my son-in-law. God pluck this flower from us to be placed in the heavenly flower garden. Love to my daughter Rhonda, Teresa, Ombre and the entire Mims family. Barbara & Charles Green

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
