Houston Hicks, Jr., was born September 9, 1921, in Chickasha, Oklahoma the son of Houston and Ida Mae Richardson Hicks. He entered eternal rest with his Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth June 19, 2005 A lifetime resident of Chickasha except for short periods, he took exceptional joy in family and in the endeavors of individual family members. He loved to fish and would take his nieces and nephews fishing with him. He attended Lincoln High School in Chickasha, where he became an avid woodworker. Big Hicks, as he was affectionally known, was never morose, but always had a smile and an encouraging word for those in his company. He was a man of wisdom and vision, even up to his last moments through ordeals with his health, never lost his mental capacity or his sense of humor. He would frequently suggest newer, higher challenges to his nephews. His mental toughness and grace were honed in the depression and the Second World War. He served in North Africa, Europe and the Philippines and in process became a military policeman. He had been a farmer with his father and brother, before working in the compress and subsequently the prefabricated housing industy. Houston is survived by three sisters: Mrs. Anna M. Shackelford, of Wichita, Kansas, Mrs. Mary E. Bowens, and Mrs. Juanita Brown, both of Chickasha; and a host of nieces and nephews. The family thanks the people of the Clinton Veterans Center for their outstanding attitude and care of Mr. Hicks. Interment will be in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of the Ferguson Funeral Home. |
