My condolences go to his family. I will always remember the times that Rev. Hicks would come to our house and have prayer while I was growing up during the holidays. May the peace of God through the Holy Spirit bless and keep you during this prayerful time.

My condolences go to this mighty man of God, and his family! I'm an employee at NNSY, where me and the Rev would cut loose on a song or two, just to keep ourselves encouraged. Blessings to this amazing family!
