Daniel Victor Hicks

We are so sorry to hear of Dan's passing. My mother Joyce and father Bob always spoke so fondly of the friendships that they shared with Dan and Sue. I remember hanging with them and my parents at a wedding anniversary and Dan was such a fun loving and bright spirit. My dad told me of how when he and Dan were kids playing little league, Dan would joke that the only reason my dad made the team was because his dad was the coach. I am sorry we were unable to attend the services today. My father's memory issues have become more challenging and public events are difficult for him. I know my mom Joyce would have wanted to be there to support Sue and the family. Please know we send our love and we are truly sorry for your loss.

Dan was a prince of a guy. He will be sorely missed. We send prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

I really enjoyed working with Dan. His positive attitude and sense of humor made him a pleasure to work with. Love to his family,

Dear Susan and your amazing Boys,
I had the pleasure of caring for "Dan the Man". You know as a caregiver you are supposed to be the one lending an ear and and shoulder but some how all conversation was turned away from Dan to what he could lift from our shoulders. The waiting room will forever be known as "Dan´s living room". I was fortunate enough to be able to spend many hours chatting with him about his amazing wife, his boys and the amazing grand children he loved so much. He also told me about his incredible sister in laws. I will forever be great full for the time I was able to spend with him and Susan they really were a great team. Susan you are in our hearts sending light and love to you in this incredible time of sadness. Every time I hear a train I will be thinking of Dan and his time with us on E Pod.

With love,
Kelly

God Bless Dan Hicks. Knew him well over the years at Saguaro Christan Church

He sounded like an incredible, fun, amazing man, and we wish we had the pleasure of meeting him! Darren, thinking of you and your family and lifting you up in prayers.

So very sad not to this beautiful smiling face again. I know he is at peace and will be our next Angel, looking over Sue, and the family. I too had a nickname, DiDi. Dan gave 100% to our church and the entire congregation. Dan, until we meet again, we love and miss you, rest in peace. Diane and Jon.

Dan was a great husband, father, grandfather and friend. Dan went to HS with my dad, who has always spoken very highly of him. I'll miss his laughter, jokes and friendship. Rest easy Dan and God bless!!!

Old friends are the best friends! We will miss you Dan.

Dan: I shall miss your quick wit and humor. Your Pal, David Rees

We were extremely sorry to hear of Dan´s passing. He was a good friend and enjoyed life to the max. Prayers for his family that God will wrap his living arms around them and give them strength through this different time. RIP Dan. You deserve the gates of heaven welcoming you.

Danny was my longest Friend. He was a Brother to me. We had a lot of memories, laughs, fun, and good times together. I am extremely proud of the Man, Father, Grandfather, and the Family Man he became. I will love you forever. RIP Brother.

We send our prayers to his family that they will be able to celebrate the love Dan had for all. We never saw him without a smile and a celebratory greeting that welcomed all. He will be missed. RIP Dan until we meet again. The Barricks

Every time I was visiting my friend Susan, across the street, Danny would come in the room and say "Callery, what are you doing here?!?". I am sure that at those Golden Gates, he will be standing there saying "Callery, what are you doing here?!?!" . Love and miss you Danny Hicks

Such a wonderful write up about Dan. He had a great sense of humor and just a wonderful person. We met him and Susan at many of our sons little league baseball games at Pantano Park. Mac and our son Jeff have remained good friends to this day. He will be greatly missed. May all the wonderful memories that you have of him give you peace and comfort. God has acquired another angel.

With love and sympathy, you all are in our prayers.

Such a sad day for us. The good Lord has him now and Dan is happy. I will forever remember how Dan could make an all-night trip to or from El Paso fun.

What a lovely memorial. Dan and I went to Catalina together and saw one another occasionally as he and my father worked together on the rails. He was a fine man with a heart of service. He will be missed.

I saw you in the book of today and with you was your smiling face, and so many folks we knew around you smiling back the words of grace. The view brought trembling tears to my eyes but the words of grace were these- " Fear not for are with thee be still and know Gods grace! Bob

Dan was one of the first people I met in Tucson. And he was a good friend throughout. I miss him, his nasty bud lights and olives, and the warmest greetings he would give all. "Dan Hicks, Tucson AZ" was as unique as he was kind. Witty as he was loving. He is truly someone I will always look up to as a model person.

Dan was a great friend. The people he touched is unmeasurable. He always was willing to help others in need. A true lifelong friend.
To the family, please know that he made a difference to so many. To know him was to love him.
Great teacher. Top Hand.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Hicks Family. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Danny you will be missed by so many! Your sense of humor was like no other and you could put a smile on anyones face at any time but when you were giving words of encouragement that great sense of humor turned to compassion and empathy which was probably one of your biggest attributes. I´ll never forget the few times we shared in a serious conversation and your support was heartfelt and sincere. Mac and Darren were so blessed to have you as their dad and that´s proof in the way they have grown into incredible men, of course it was a team effort and Susan played a huge roll in that. I love the way that you teased everyone, especially your young nieces and nephews who grew to love your witty ways but only after they were old enough to realize that you weren´t serious. I love you and will miss you.
