Joseph Collins Dickerson was born on December 14, 1961 in Chicago, Illinois at the Cook County Hospital. He was given up for adoption and entered into the foster care system. He did not stay very long. He was adopted at three weeks old by Carrie and Cttrill Dickerson. He started school in Chicago and finished in New Orleans, Louisiana graduating in 1980. He later that year, along with his parents, moved to Conway, Arkansas. Joe worked for a few temp agencies before becoming a full-time caregiver for his mother and father until they passed away in 1986 and 1997. Shortly after, Joe moved to Russellville, Arkansas and began working at Tyson for a number of years until becoming disabled.
