Rev. Steve D. Hicks

Steve, Today is Nov. 3, 2005. I can hardly believe it's been two years since you left to go live in Heaven. Because there are moments still when it feels like it happened just yesterday. We all think about you everyday. We talk about you all the time. It's hard not to when you look at Kyle. He's such a reminder of you. He walks like you; he talks like you; he acts like you; plays the drums like you....

I guess you know that Bro. Marcus left this earth to go live in heaven as well....

Steve,
Almost every week something that happens reminds me of you. I often tell people stories about you and the impression you made on my life. I did not tell you, often enough, how you impressed me and made an impact on my life. Because of you, I really try to let people know when they have positive attributes and I always tell them about you and how I wish all the time I had told you more often what an awesome guy you were. I tell younger people about you and your passion to be the...

Dear Denise and Family,

I still find it hard to believe that Steve is gone from us. I have so many fond memories of our time together. Steve and I shared so much in common. Since we both grew up in the home of our pastor and father, there always was a bond of friendship between us. I will always cherish the memory of Steve. I had such an admiration for him and his excitement about the work of the Lord. I am thankful for the months he and I was teachers together in a teenage...

Steve was a unique person, fun loving and full of life. The memories of him at Apostolic Temple welcoming visitors with his “One of a kind Apostolic Temple Welcome” always brings a chuckle when I think of Steve Hicks. Living our life as a Christian we are preparing ourselves for the hereafter and many times in the “heat” of a Pentecostal service we act like we are ready to go immediately. When a young man like Steve leaves on that journey early I don’t understand but that is why the old song,...

Dear Denise, children, and Hicks family:

Our first introduction to the "Hicks family" was when we met Sandra and Adrian at Peace Tabernacle on Main Street in Baytown,Texas. We have known Denise since she was very young and watched her grow in the Lord and become a godly young lady. THEN...came Steve and their courtship and marriage...beautiful children and challenges and changes...and the sickness that took him from our lives.

I too remember Steve's smile, his...

Denise, Calah, Kyle & Katie,

I just wanted you to know that I love you all very much and that I think and pray for you. Their is so much to say about Steve that I don't know where to begin. He was a wonderful person, and is missed greatly. He always made everyone feel good about themselves and made them laugh at themselves also. He was fun and I often think about our trip we took together. We had so much fun and I don't think I've ever laughed that much since then. Trying on...

To Steve's Family.
Just a little note to let you'll know that I'll remember you'll forever. I wish we could be as close now as we were back when we were growing up. I hope everyone is doing better today. I will always include Steve's family, on both sides, on my list of special friends. I hate to loose a good friend. It hurts all the way to the heart. I tell myself Steve is better off today, because of his illness, and that he's made it to that special place that we all hope we can...

In Honor of Rev. Steve D. Hicks
Dec 24 1965 - Nov 3 2003

Dear Steve:

Today is the 1st anniversary of your home-going celebration. Of course, this time last year, there was anything but celebration in the air. We were wanting you to stay, God was calling you away, and there you were, telling us that it was time. You were ready to go. I guess when I realized that you really wanted to go, I finally encouraged you to go for it. You had told me how badly you...

To all the Hicks family, it's been almost a year and I think of Steve and miss him almost every day. As I travel 59 into work each day in Houston, I pass Brookside Cemetery and think of my friend. So many people in this guest book have commented about his brilliant smile, his firm handshake, the genuine love you could feel from him, his humor and that distinct greeting “Do me a favor and have a good day!” I really miss all of these things about Steve and hope that this year has brought...
