Kenny Hicks "fit in." He was one of those real people and the rest of his classmates recognized that. He was quiet but "there" whether it was in class or just coming down those seemingly dark halls. Good light for him now. John Stone
Thinking of Kenny's beloved family at this sad time. Kenny will be remembered as a quiet and thoughtful classmate with amazing athletic ability. He will be forever missed. Rest in peace, Kenny!
Jeff Boyer
Go well Kenny! I remember you, one of our quiet leaders who reached out to everyone. I also
remember you on the football field, giving at all you had. Blessings to your family.
with love,
