We bid farewell to Ronald F. Hicks of Norfolk, Virginia, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on December 2, 2024 at the age of 73. Ronald touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As Ronald departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Ronald may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Ronald leaves behind.

He is survived by: his wife Cheryl Ann Hicks; his daughter Alexis Barbara Hicks; and his siblings, Dianne Callender (Calvin), LaDonna Ransome (Mike), Angela Robinson, Karlton Robinson and Duane Robinson (Carol). He is also survived by other relatives and friends.
