The Hicks Family

On December 30th, God took home the Hicks family, Ronnie (36), Shelly (32), Parker (8), and Jaylyn (5), in a tragic accident. This loving family’s journey began on August 11, 2007, on the front porch of their home, as Ronnie and Shelly said, “I Do”. With both being from Gilchrist County, they decided to start their careers locally, opening Hicks Asphalt Paving and Concrete in 2007. In 2013, the couple welcomed their son, Parker Allen. Parker enjoyed playing his ukulele and racing go karts with dad. In 2014, Shelly graduated from the University of Florida with her Doctorate in Nursing Practice and had a very successful practice. In 2016, they welcomed their daughter, Jaylyn Kate. She would light up with room with her singing and dancing. As a family, they loved any outdoor activity, just as long as they were all together, but most importantly, they loved serving the Lord. The Hicks’ were members of Ebenezer Baptist Church.

They are survived by their parents, Donnie (Poppy) and Tammi (Mim) Hicks and Travis (Popeye) and Carmen (Nana) Law, all of Trenton; siblings, Summer (Jeff) Butler and Sarah (Ashley) Law; grandmothers, Meme, Nannie, Granny, and Grandma; a host of extended family also survive.

A funeral to honor the family will be held on Thursday, January 6, at 11:00 am at the Trenton High School Auditorium. The family will receive friends for a brief visitation beginning at 10:00 am at the auditorium. The family will be laid to rest at Bethel Baptist Cemetery.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of Watson-Milton Funeral Home, Trenton. 352-463-8888. www.WatsonMilton.com
