I'll miss you man. From walking around all night shooting the breeze, to those serious talks. You were always there for me. You were a great man and a great father. I'm proud to say that I knew you, and that you impacted my life as you did so many others. Rest in peace brother

To my nephew, Donte' Lamar Hicks, so smart, so funny, so young ... You shall be greatly missed in this life by those who loved you most (...your wife & son, your mother & father, your sister & brothers, your grandparents, your uncles & aunts, etc) . . . words can not begin to express the sentiments of our collective hearts, but we do know that the memory of you shall live on in those collective hearts. The pain is great now, but in time, it will give way to the sweet memories of your wit, humor, and caring spirit. We love you dearly. Uncle Kenny

I worked with SGT Hicks directly leading up to this dreaded day! Not only was he the lifeline to our platoon He was the Company jokester/ball player/all around sports guy. He loves Carmelo Anthony and to him he was the beat player on earth... he was always making people laugh keeping the mood cordial during unfortunate timeS . He was a stand up guy and I wouldnt change anything about him! Although I only worked with him a few months I felt like I knew him an eternity! The impact he had on soldiers, family and friends, I know he will truly be missed and is watching over from Heaven... see you when I get there Fungus(from Monsters inc.)my nickname to him) love you bro!!
