Mark Anthony Hicks

Obituary Date: Monday, July 26, 2021

Mark Anthony Hicks, age 50 of Alto, passed away Monday, July 26, 2021.
 

Born in Commerce on February 21, 1971, Mark was the son of Shirley Bonner Ransom of Pendergrass and the late Eugene W. Hicks. He was a former Town of Mt. Airy employee and he had worked in ammonia refrigeration.  Most recently Mark had worked in construction and doing odd jobs.  He was an avid outdoorsman, he loved to hunt, fish and do all things outside.  Mark had an extremely strong work ethic, something he instilled in his children from an early age and others that he loved and helped raise. He spent a great deal of time with younger generations teaching them valuable life lessons and investing in their lives. Mark loved people and could always tell a good joke.  He never met a stranger in his entire life.  Mark was a jack of all trades; he could fix anything and he enjoyed working on cars.  He loved collecting and trading on all things old that caught his eye.  Mark was of the Holiness faith.
