Thoughts and prayers to the Hicks Family.
I'm sure the sense of humor and the great personality I remember from years ago carried through his life. May his love and memories sustain you in this sorrowful time.

Dear Mr. Hicks-
Sadly, I never got the opportunity to meet or get to know you. However, if Brittany and Lindsay are a testament to your character (and I'm sure they are), then I know you were an amazing person! Your influence upon Brittany has helped her grow into a great person and dear friend. I am confident that I will be joining you in praying for them and the rest of your family.

Respectfully,

Almost 38 years out of high school with Jimmy and it seems like yesterday. He had such a great sense of humor and was so much fun to be around. God's Blessing on Jimmy and the family. Tricia Jones Keelan

To Kim and family, I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. To me Jimmy was a fun loving and comical individual who I believed loved life and his family and friends. I wish you love, I wish you peace in knowing that Jimmy will forever be remembered in all of us that knew him. Dianne Allen
