The NFL community has poured its heart out to support Jeff Dickerson’s 11-year-old son, Parker Dickerson. Jeff was a former ESPN Chicago Bears beat reporter and was beloved by the NFL community. Jeff Dickerson passed away due to cancer this week on Tuesday.
Jeff’s untimely death put his son in a grave situation. Parker’s mother, Caitlin Dickerson, also passed away from skin cancer two years ago. And now, the boy has been left in this world with no parents. And so, after Tuesday, his sister-in-law Jen Etling Hobin created a fundraiser in which she had requested people to support the young boy in his days of misery.
