Mr. Tony Lamar Hicks was born November 29, 1966 to Mrs. Carol Hicks-Lewis and the late Mr. John Sibley. Tony committed his life to Christ at an early age, and later became a member of the Victorious Life Church of Albany, Georgia. He was educated in the Dougherty County Public School System and attended Monroe High School.

Tony was employed with various food services through the years. He dedicated his passion for cooking and many skills to ensuring everyone left with a smile on their faces. He loved and was loved by many people.

Love gave way to the birth of his children, Annie Nicole Hicks and Nicholas Jenkins. Extending his legacy, he also has four grandchildren; Londyn Green, Krystal Hicks, Mason Jenkins and Margaux Jenkins.

Tony was known as the life of the party. He loved to inspire youth to pursue education with great fervor and excitement. He knew no strangers. Even in the deepest of conflicts and darkest of illness, Tony found resolution to forgive, love and laugh along the way.
