Chris Hicks, Jr.

Chris was born March 12, 1947, in Norfolk, Virginia, son of the late Chris Ed, Sr. and Charlene Burke Hicks.  He was a helpful, giving person who had a big heart.  He was especially tenderhearted when it came to animals.  He and a friend bought food for and fed countless stray cats in town.  Chris could always make you laugh by kidding around and cracking jokes. 

He is survived by his sons, Christopher Hicks and John A. Hicks, of Oklahoma; his aunt, Betty Nabel, of New York; his nephew, Jeffrey Hicks, of Oregon; and a special friend, June Brewster, of Russell Springs.

Along with his parents, Chris is preceded in death by his sister, Virginia Sue Hicks.
