    • Obituary
      Richard “Dick” Clark Lackey of Duluth, Georgia died peacefully surrounded by members of his family on August 1, 2019 at the age of 80 years old.

      He is survived by his wife, Jo Bray Lackey; sons, Richard Clark Lackey, Jr. and his wife, Malinda, Joel Bray Lackey and his wife, Pam; sister, Nora Baxter and her husband, Carl; grandchildren Nicole Goldsmith and her husband, Chris, Erica Watson and her husband, Avery, Austin Lackey, Payton Lackey, Emmaline Michael and Camille Michael; great granddaughter, Bray Elizabeth Goldsmith. He will also be missed by his brother-in-law, Dean Bray, Jr. as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

      Dick was born on September 29, 1938 in Mt. Airy, North Carolina to Amos Clark Lackey and Leota Stephens Lackey. He graduated from The Georgia Institute of Technology with a degree in Industrial Management. He married Jo Bray, his high school sweetheart and friend since first grade, in 1960.

      He began his career in banking and finance at Trust Company of Georgia as a collector and advanced to the position of branch manager. He later became president of Northeast Bank before joining Engineered Concepts Incorporated as comptroller, where he later advanced to the position of president and worked for 25 years until his retirement.

      His children and grandchildren remember him as a wise, kind and supportive father and grandfather. He was passionate about his family, attended virtually every event they participated in, and always encouraged them to pursue their individual goals.

      As a 40-year resident of Berkeley Lake, he was active in the community and was a longtime member of both Norcross and Simpsonwood United Methodist Churches. Prior to living in Berkeley Lake, he had also been a member of Druid Hills United Methodist and St. James United Methodist. He was a generous and witty individual with an affinity for collecting cars, everything from vintage to more modern sports cars. He was an astute businessman, very personable, and a friend to many. His family and friends love to tell stories of his skill playing pool and ping pong, since he so enjoyed beating anyone that was willing to play him.

      A celebration of his life is scheduled for 10:30 AM at Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church in Marietta, GA, with visitation to follow the service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Restoration Atlanta, 2836 Springdale Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30315 or at Restorationatl.org.
