Daniel B. Hicks was born on June 14, 1937 in Greenpond, Texas to George and Dera (Hawk) Hicks. Being named with only the initial “B” as his middle name Daniel decided as a young boy to make the “B” stand for Boone and he became know as Daniel Boone Hicks. He married Gail Gregg in Mahoney, Texas on June 20, 1969. Daniel was a rancher and member of the National Guard.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Dera Hicks; brother, Don Hicks (Sherron, and grandson, Carson Hicks. It gives our family great comfort knowing Carson was waiting at Heaven’s gate for Pop. We know they are talking cows and horses again.
