My dear sweet Wanda and Chance and Amanda and all the Hickman's and their loved ones I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the shock you are feeling and grief you are going through right now. Junior was such a pleasure and hoot to be around and always ready to flash that mischievous grin. He loved to make people laugh and be happy.
You will be reunited with him some day. I feel like Rick is with me during the times I feel like I can't and don't want to go on. So I believe Junior will watch over all of you very closely and try to ease your pain. I love you all and pray you are able to find peace and comfort.

Dear Wanda, Amanda and Chance
We lost a Christian brother, best friend and my hunting partner. Your loss is so much more. We all know that we will see Junior again in our Heavenly home. May God bless you and protect all of you during the time. God is our only answer. We know if we could ask Junior who's his best friend, he would say proudly "my Lord in Heaven."
