DANNY LAWRENCE HICKS
AUGUST 1, 1953 – JANUARY 14, 2021
It is with profound sadness and a huge void in our hearts that we announce the very sudden and the untimely passing of our husband, father, grandfather and brother, Danny Lawrence Hicks. Danny was the youngest of five children born to his parents, Ruth and Lawrence Hicks: Lloyd (Wilma-deceased), Donna (Sandy-deceased) Currie, Linda (Ron) Locke and Doug (Betty). Danny married his high school sweetheart Irene (Blanchard) on January 22, 1977. They settled on the Raymond Hicks Farm which he purchased in the fall of 1976. Together they were blessed with two children; a son, Kurtis (Celine) their children Bryce and Levi; a daughter, Veronica (Brad) Doenz their children Jordy and Branson. Danny also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews-Tracy (Rob) Kolsza – children Ayla (Ethan Campion), Taneil, and Teague; Leah (Eric) Ortiz – children Ebony, Maya, Sienna and Brynn; Trevor (Sarah) Currie – children CJ, Keelyn and Addison; Chris (Jaqueline) Locke -children Rebecca and Felicity; Troy Hicks; Carla Hicks (Dave Waldner); Jennifer (Chika) Okafer-children Tyler, Faith and William; Dana (Gilles) Lajoie-children Dominic and Gabriel; Martin Locke-child Emily; Lyndon (Lisa)-child Remmie. Danny loved farming in the early years with his dad and brothers, then with his son Kurtis. Danny embraced this lifelong career of farming with Kurtis. He enjoyed the thrill of helping at Veronica and Brad’s annual bull sale in Warner, AB. Danny dearly loved his family and he loved people! He took every opportunity to visit, especially his morning ritual of checking in with very special friends, Hubert, Clayton and Dale as well as the many trips to Parkbeg’s Coffee Rowe. Morning coffee with Hubert was eagerly anticipated. In his youth, Danny’s passion was fastball with Edgehill then the Mortlach Jets teams. He was also involved in Parkland Kinsmen, Mortlach Rec Board and as Councilor for RM of Rodgers No. 133 for 24 years. He met and fostered a large circle of friends. He liked the challenges of maintaining, fixing, and repairing his or others’ equipment-he always had advice to offer! It was a life well lived! Rest well dear friend. We will always love and miss you. Due to COVID restrictions, a private family Celebration of Life will be held on Friday January 22, 2021 at 1:00PM.
