Richard "Rick" Eugene Hicks Jr.
December 24, 1958 - April 27, 2018
Richard E Hicks, Jr. passed away at home on April 27. He was a loving son to his surviving mother, proud father to his two children, and a devoted husband to his surviving wife. Richard served in the US Army with honors, attended the University of Illinois and worked in multiple municipalities as a police sergeant with multiple honors. Injured on duty, he retired to New Orleans in 2000 and since then led a colorful life often seen wearing his signature pirate uniform. He was a patriot and a champion in the protection of women and children. He began the Pirate's Group at the Chalmette Battlefield re-enactments each year. With every endeavor he participated, he brought love, friendship, enthusiasm, creativity and a special kind of magic that we will never know again. Please join us to honor his memory at St. Mary's Chapel - Ursuline Convent, 1116 Chartres Street at 6:30 in the evening - Mass will begin at 7:00 on Thursday, June 7th. Reception at Harry's Bar to follow the memorial. No pirate attire allowed at mass or reception. Our heartfelt goes to Jeremy McLin and McLin and Manley Funeral Home for their professionalism and compassion during this difficult time. www.mclinfuneralhome.com (225) 755-9757.
