I met Dan shortly after I moved here nearly twenty years ago. I always enjoyed speaking with him and enjoyed his perspective on a whole host of topics. We became friends over the years and although we weren’t in communication as often I think of Dan as a good and genuine and sincere friend. I will miss him but know this is a better place because Dan was here
Although I was only able to work w/ you for a year, I grew to respect and admire you immensely. I will truly miss your quick wit and the way you looked at things – including life. Rest in peace, my friend. You’ve earned it.
My deepest sympathies to Alex, Mrs. Hicks, Doug and Deb. You have lost a husband, son, brother and I have lost a lifelong friend. I have known Dan for 48 years and considered him my best friend. Although we did not communicate much in the past years, we were close and I always knew I could show up on his doorstep and it would be as if time stood still and we had just done something together the previous day, no awkward moments or strained conversation. Friendships like this are rare but with Dan it was easy. I always will remember the good times. Dan was loving and compassionate and I sincerely will miss him.
Alex, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful husband. Cherish the memories and days you shared. We will keep you in our prayers. Kathy, Dan & Laura Nickell
My heart goes out to you Alex and all of Dan’s family. Dan was a wonderful person and a good friend to all. I’m privileged to have had the chance to know and work with him for so many years. I am deeply saddened by this sudden loss. I will truly miss him. God bless.
Alexandra, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Yours and the Hick’s family are in our prayers.
Back in the ’80’s, four of us were thrown together to work on a project in an office at 14th & Constitution: Dan Hicks, Jerry Stacks, Mick O’Maille, and myself. We all had phones on our desks, all on the same number, but Dan’s was the only one that rang, so he always ended up answering the phone for everyone. I know it irritated him that the rest of us never heard the phone ring, but he tolerated us pretty well. My kids, now in their 30’s and 40’s, still remember and remark fondly on his distinctive way of answering the phone — Daaan Hicks. I made a friend in those days and we continued to work together on and off until I retired last year. Dan will live on forever in my memory. My condolences to all those who loved him.
When I think about Dan, now and any time over the last 44 years, I think of his sweetness, his smartness, and how much fun he always was…I see him smiling and laughing as he gets the last witty word in almost every conversation. He made you feel protected, and you wanted to protect him at the same time. Some guys of his generation would have a hard time saying they love each other, but every one of them, and us, would say we love Dan. I hope Alexandra and his family find some comfort knowing how many others feel the same way.
Oh Alex– I am so sorry for the loss of Dan. Whatever the Duchesses can do– please do not hesitate to call on us.
Alex, I am so sorry. My love and condolences to you and all your family. Debbie

I was so sad to hear about Dan. We worked together many years ago at U.S Customs. Not only was he a great employee, I also considered him a close friend and have many fond memories of him. He will surely be missed by all of us. Please accept my condolences.
Alex, Our daughter Debbie called her dad and I with the terrible news of Dan’s passing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. God Bless
My heart felt sympathy and condolences .. I was a co-worker with Mr. Hicks for many years. In my thoughts & prayers ~ God Bless
‘Dan, THE MAN’…salt of the earth, generous beyond definition…a gentle giant. Didn’t beat you over the head w/ his jaw-dropping intellect. Wickedly-deceptive humor; a MASTER of ‘dead-pan’ humor and the ‘double-take’. You simply couldn’t find anyone to enjoy more. My deepest sympathy to his family for the loss of a truly special individual. Take comfort in knowing he’s been called upon to challenge and bemuse the unsuspecting inhabitants of the ‘afterlife’. My Fondest, Kurt Day

Thoughts on Uncle Dan….. In the summer of 1968 Dan took me in his Dad’s new Karman Ghia to Shady Grove Amphitheatre in Columbia, MD for my first Rock Concert. When the Byrds, complete with Gram Parsons, opened up with a 25 minute rendition of Eight Miles high I was changed forever. Dan was there. When I left for Madison College in the late summer of 1970 for more life changing events, Dan was there as a 3rd roommate. When the U.S. Air Force sent me overseas for two years and I decided to drive to New Orleans for a 2 day blow out with my brother Wayne before flying out from Charleston, SC for my tour of duty, Dan was there with us. When I came home from overseas and went back to College without hardly a dime to my name I was given a 1974 Norton Commando 850 to finish up school on. It was Dan that gave it to me. When College was finished and I had found a great job, Leo and I rented a house called Cinnamon Creek for 2 or 3 years in Vienna. Dan was there, always treating my father with the utmost respect and kindness. Along the way he picked up the name “Uncle Dan†for his “steady as she goes†attitude and for being the only one of us with any sense. Dan was the designated driver of my life long before there were designated drivers. Uncle Dan’s influences reach far and wide into my life, I still listen to Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris and in particular, “Hickory Windâ€. “…In South Carolina, there are many tall pines I remember the oak tree, that we used to climb But it makes me feel better each time it begins Callin’ me home Hickory Wind…. I started out younger at most everything All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring But now when I’m lonesome, I always pretend That I’m gettin’ the feel of Hickory Wind…†Uncle Dan, was my Hickory Wind….. Up until yesterday morning I had only ever cried for the passing of two people, other than my parents. Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. I would like both Jim and Jerry
Sorry for having to leave two posts…not enough room for all i had to say in one… Up until yesterday morning I had only ever cried for the passing of two people, other than my parents. Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. I would like both Jim and Jerry to know, what wonderful company they are now with. Love ya Uncle Dan……..steady as she goes…… If either Debbie or Alexandra ever has the time to call me and give me an update on the last 10 years of Dan’s life I would forever be grateful…..540.682.4809
