Randy Hicks
Randy Hicks, a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend passed away on March 5, 2023, at the age of 70, leaving a void in the hearts of those who knew him. Through it all, he persevered. Even when hospitalized he would joke with the nurses. When they would ask him his name, he would say, “Most people call me Precious.”
Born on June 7, 1952, to Ralph and Patsy Hicks, Randy was raised in the picturesque mountain town of Jasper, in Pickens County, along with his brother Michael. Randy graduated from Pickens High School a year early in 1969, eager to begin a new chapter in his life in Atlanta.
Randy attended Dekalb College earning a degree in Electronics. He relied on his trusty bicycle for transportation. There he met his wife, Patty. They recently celebrated 50 years of marriage and were blessed with three children: Allison, Joey, and Maggie.
Randy’s professional career began at the U.S. Postal Service. He spent nearly a decade there before exploring a new job opportunity, becoming a service technician for Sumitomo, a plastic injection molding company. In 1992 he continued in the injection molding field with Sumitomo sister company and leading manufacturer NETSTAL. He spent over 21 years working for NETSTAL where he excelled in sales, setting company records and receiving numerous awards. As stated in his retirement letter from NETSTAL, “Randy was a natural born salesman, and it wasn’t long before he moved from service technician to sales. He often led the sales team in “sold machines” and “sales volumes” along with setting a company sales record his last year of work.” NUSA stated, “What made him a good salesman was he always put the customer first, and he treated them as friends.”
Randy retired from NETSTAL on 11/12/13 after 21 years. Through his jobs, he was able to travel extensively throughout the U.S. as well as internationally from Japan to Switzerland and points in between.
Randy was an avid hunter and fisherman. One of his favorite places was his deer club in south Georgia #regulatorsmountup. His most memorable hunt was a moose hunt in Canada that he was fortunate enough to share with his dad.
Randy was the Norm Crosby of the South…he could murder the English language. He was a man who loved music and taught his children the greats from The Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Willie and Waylon to Bruce Hampton and Frank Zappa. He taught them the love of photography, how to take their time when handling a project, how to speak Japanese, how to drive,and hunting and fishing skills. He was a man who never missed his grandsons’ sporting, school or church events. He was a man that could stare cancer, bypass/knee/eye/ lung surgery and multiple car wrecks in the eye and say, “Not today boys; we still have some good living to do.” He loved his church, Philadelphia Baptist Church. He loved vacations with family to the beach or national parks. He loved his dogs, a good joke and good Southern cooking. He loved his friends, and above all, he loved his family. He was a larger-than-life character who was one of a kind. He will be truly missed, but his legacy will live on.
Randy is survived by his wife, Patty, children Allison (Chris) & Joey, brother Michael (Diane), grandchildren Ethan, Landon & Addie, cousins, nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by daughter Maggie, his mom and dad Ralph & Patsy Hicks, his grandparents Sallie & Roy Higgins, Sam Tripp, Mamie & Arvil Hicks.
