Kirby Hickman Obituary

Kirby A. Hickman, 32, formerly of Renton, Plum, our beloved Kirby A. Hickman unexpectedly passed away Monday, Oct. 11, 2021. He was born Jan. 27, 1989, to Lori (Roger) Hickman-Pfab and Dale (Janet) Hickman. Kirby was a 2007 graduate of Plum High School and worked installing garage doors and doing home remodeling. Kirby loved his daughter, Lily Grace; she was his greatest accomplishment. He was happiest spending time with Lily and his nieces and nephews. He is survived by his beautiful daughter, Lily Grace Hickman; parents, Dale (Janet) Hickman and Lori (Roger) Hickman-Pfab; sisters, Alyssa (Jason) Luciano and Jodi (Sean) Peria; nieces, Mila and Emilie Luciano; nephews, Senna and Ronin Peria; aunts, Donna Miller, Debra Wilson and Darla (Ross) Ferraro; Uncle Jim Putzlocker; step-siblings, Ashley, Shannon, Jake and Nathanial; many close cousins and extended family. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph and Aida Hickman and Dorothy Putzlocker; uncles, Dennis Benda and David Wilson; and Lily's mom, Toni Voithofer. Kirby loved to play chess and cards and was an avid fisherman. He was always there for his family and friends. He was charming and charismatic with his dimpled smile and quick wit, which was passed down to his beautiful little girl. We would like everyone to remember Kirby as the great father, son, brother and uncle we all knew him to be. We were blessed to have the time with him that we did. Life will not be the same without him, but we know he is at peace. Friends are being received from 1 to 3 and 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 2 p.m. Sunday, with the time of the service at 2 p.m., with the Rev. Harold M. Mele Jr. of Meadows Evangelistic Outreach Ministry officiating in STEPHEN P. DOLENCE JR. FUNERAL HOME INC., 1519 Renton Road, Plum, PA 15239. Interment will be private.

I´m so upset to hear this. I know we fell off over the past few years, however, never missed a beat when we caught up. We had so many good times hunting and fishing and being kids. My heart goes out to Lilly, Dale, Lori, Jodi and Alyssa. Until we meet again my friend.
