James Frederick “Rick” Dalby, Jr. age 62, most recently of Falls Church, VA, died in the hospital of complications from a blood infection on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 in Fairfax, Va.
Rick was born in Newport News, Virginia to James F. and Nancy (Everett) Dalby. He was a 1976 graduate of Newburgh Free Academy in Newburgh, NY. Rick was theatrical and enjoyed acting. His children recall boisterous singalongs to Jesus Christ Superstar in their youth and his brother remembers his “spirited” performance as Herod in the high school’s rendition of the musical. Rick had a beautiful singing voice and loved music– Often being moved to tears by the sound of a lovely performance at church, or gathering his family together to listen to something that they just had to know about!

Richard Jessie, the husband of Lillie Jessie, who represents the Occoquan District on the Prince William County School Board, created a petition to rename the unopened Gainesville High School due to its name’s ties to Thomas Brawner Gaines, a prominent land and slave owner before the Civil War. The petition, having only been active for days, has over 100 signatures.
