Mr. Hicks was of the Christian faith and Baptist denomination. He enjoyed God's created nature, especially fishing. David always enjoyed socializing with family and friends and sharing a good time together. When he was able, he often went walking and riding with "man's best friend" Rebel. He found great pleasure in spending time with his great-nephew, Jaxon, riding the mower together and cruising in the truck.
