Saddened by the sudden passing of Chris Dickey, who I knew from @FrancoisF24‘s show. No one could match his brilliance, wit and body of work. I tried to learn from his professionalism, generosity, classiness and modesty.

I am terribly devastated to see the man who mentored me in journalism, the same man I was in touch with hours before I was told he had died. This is so so painful. RIP Chris. You taught me so much and made me a better person. I’ll miss you.

Whenever I’d talk to Christopher Dickey, I’d think, I can’t believe I get to know people like this. He was brilliant and lovely and generous. His breadth of knowledge was intimidating but he never condescended. He was a beautiful man and this is a gutting loss.
— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) July 16, 2020
Damn. Where am I going to go for my semi-regular fix of a Champs Elysees backdrop? But seriously, he was a seriously great journalist with a wide breadth of knowledge & an ability to tie it all together on a satellite delay better than ppl do now. RIP Christopher Dickey.

Christopher Dickey – a favorite writer & journalist for decades & an impressive photographer among his many skills & talents. But this is a tribute worthy of one of the most legendary war and foreign affairs correspondents of the last century….. who sadly passed earlier today.
— Jim Bourg (@jimbourg) July 16, 2020
Christopher Dickey was a great, great journalist. His father James Dickey was the first poetry reading I ever went to. It was in Pensacola and I was a teenager. My mother took me to it because she was interested in James Dickey’s poetry.

Falleció el gran fotógrafo Christopher Dickey. Esta es su fotografía favorita de sus años en Centroamérica. La tomó con una Olympus XA de bolsillo en San Francisco Gotera, 1981, después de una de las redadas del batallón Atlacatl en el área. Vivía en París. Hasta luego, Chris. pic.twitter.com/zTvGaiUHVs

Devastated by the sudden passing of Christopher Dickey. He was a teacher and role model, but most importantly a friend. He was kind, generous, and compassionate. I’ll never forget the dinners in Paris, Jerusalem, and New York, and his warm and guiding words. He was a true Mencsh!
— Samuel Katz (@Samuel_M_Katz) July 17, 2020
I have terrible news. Chris Dickey, the legendary foreign correspondent, has died suddenly in Paris of what seems to be heart failure. He was a mentor, a friend, a comrade-in-arms, and just about the best guy on the planet to meet in a cafe.

The first time I saw Christopher Dickey was during the coverage of the 2015 Paris terror attacks on CNN, may his memory be a blessing.

Take a timeout to salute a gracious & elegant man who just passed away in Paris tonite. Christopher Dickey. Oozed “class” all the time. Can we take a break from masks, Trump family books, politics, to acknowledge a fascinating life? Lived by a good man. One of a KIND. Au revoir!

The loss of journalist Christopher Dickey is especially sad in these times, when his perspective as an international figure enabled him to give such amazing context to stories about the US role in the world. Too young. Too sudden. Too sad.

Shaken by this news. Chris Dickey was truly a legend (and that’s without having known until this obituary that his father wrote Deliverance or about his many books which I now am determined to read) and one of our favorite guests on #amjoy. Rest in peace?

OMG, I am ? by the news I just heard @BWilliams say that @CivilWarSpies Christopher Dickey died. I always looked forward to his reporting when it had to with France. He was an amazing reporter, and will truly be missed. Thanks, Brian, 4 sharing other details about his fab life.
— Laura PiszczorRomano (@Iamalaxmom) July 17, 2020
I just saw @BWilliams remembrance of Christopher Dickey. I admired his work as a reporter but knew nothing else about him. I didn’t know his father was James Dickey or that he wrote a memoir about his father and “Deliverance.” I’m looking forward to reading it. RIP

I learned about his death just a few moments ago on MSNBC. I never met him but after watching him for decades, Christopher Dickey was one of the classiest and most professional journalists I’ve ever seen. I seemed to always learn something I didn’t know from him. A big loss.
— Christopher Ostella (@Co7Ostella) July 17, 2020
RIP Christopher Dickey. Years ago I read, well actually I listened to on cassette, his harrowing story of his relationship with his father James Dickey. “Summer of Deliverance.” A book I will always remember and will never read again.
