Stephen Curtis Hicks

Stephen Hicks 66 of Ocklawaha, passed away peacefully Aug 16, 2026 following a courageous but short battle with cancer. Steve was born in Philadelphia PA on June 10, 1960 to Phil & Midge Hicks.

He lived with the mindset "Work Hard, Play Hard."

Though he spent the prior 20 years working in every aspect of construction. He eventually traded in his hammer for a computer, the past 5 years.

There wasn't a job he couldn't do or a tool he didn't know how to use. In the words of our granddaughters, "If it's broke, Pappy can fix it."

When work was done the music was up, the drinks were flowing, the laughs were many and the Races were on. He loved the races and getting away on cruises.

Steve was devoted to his Family and Friends. If you needed a hand, a repair, or some advice he was there to give it.

Gone but never forgotten, Always in our Hearts.

We'll see you in Heaven (Baby)

Steve is survived by his Forever Love Terry, her daughter Alicia and granddaughters Payton and Ava.

Also by his Stepmother, Sister, Brothers, a Step Daughter and her Children, Nieces, Nephews, Aunts, Cousins, Extended Family and Friends.

We Will miss you much!

The Family would like to thank the staff of the Ted and Diane Brandley house for their care.
