Richard K Hicks
(January 7th, 1959 - July 11th, 2024)
Rick was born in Vermilion Alberta, Canada. He attended W.P Wagner High School in Edmonton where he specialized in cooking. Rick fondly remembered working at a Pizza Joint in Leduc. Rick had the opportunity to move to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to work at one of the Sony store locations there. He came back to Edmonton to study to be an EMT. Rick was an EMT in Leduc for many years, using his skills to help those in need. He developed many lifelong friendships during his time with EMS. He was in this field for about 15 years before he sustained a shoulder injury, which made him change professions. This led him to study computer sciences at Grant McEwan, where he continued to work until the end of his life.
Rick cared deeply about friends and family. He was “Uncle Rick ”to many and shared his love of travel, adventure and curiosity. He was always eager to share his knowledge to build, create and fix anything and everything. Rick’s extended family would like to add that they were fortunate to have him in their lives - he opened their world up so much and was there for them when they needed him. Even though he didn’t have children of his own, he was a father figure to many and was very missed by them.
He leaves behind his mother, Shelia and his four siblings along with spouses and children.
My heart is still breaking -I am so sorry for your loss
Deepest condolences Rick was a true leader and respected by everyone

I am so sorry to hear of Rick’s passing. I knew Rick through Convergint. He came and did some work at my place of employment. Oh we had some great chats and laughs! He was always a joy to visit with. I looked forward to his visits.
He will be missed.
Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I am beyond words as I still try and process Rick’s passing. He and I worked closely on camera projects for Servus Credit Union. Rick taught me more than I could ever imagine about cameras and technology. Rick always answered the call for help! Rest in Peace Rick! 😢
