In Loving Memory of Kenneth "Kenny" Lee Wick
November 21, 1955 – January 8, 2025
Kenneth Lee Wick, affectionately known as 'Mr. Kenny', passed away on January 8, 2025. Born on November 21, 1955, Kenny grew up in Nixon, Texas, and went on to attend an architectural drafting technical college.
Kenny loved to express himself through writing, and had a lifelong interest in photography, capturing moments that reflected his unique perspective on the world around him.
His laughter was infectious, and the joy he exuded when retelling his stories made everyone feel a part of his adventures.
Kenny was an avid outdoorsman, finding peace and fulfillment in fishing and hunting. He especially cherished his time on Toledo Bend, where he created countless memories doing what he loved most. His time in Hemphill and his work at the *Sabine County Reporter* brought him immense joy. He met wonderful people through his work, and his dedication to his job reflected the passion and pride he felt for his community.
Kenny was preceded in death by his parents, Evelyn and Earl "Buddy" Heyen, his sisters Janice Frye and Kathy Heyen, and many other beloved family members.
He leaves behind a legacy of love with his children Kenneth Wick (Rebecca), Melissa Walls (Taylor), and Brandy Hill (Jeff). Kenny was a proud grandfather to his five grandchildren: Harper, Rylan, Cason, Bowen, and Jordan and companion Angela Grider.
Kenny's spirit and zest for life will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His kindness, humor, and love for the great outdoors leave an indelible mark on the hearts of his family and friends.
A celebration of Mr. Kenny's life will be held on Saturday, February 1st, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Hemphill VFW. Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Mr. Kenny are invited to gather, share memories, and honor his legacy.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Hemphill Hornet Bass Club (Grades 6-12) or Guadalupe County Buck Fever. The family appreciates your thoughts, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
Cremation arrangements were handled by Starr Funeral Home.
