Anthony Hicks was born on February 28, 1971 in Houston Texas to Athens

and Mary Hicks. Anthony met his wife Stephanie Costello and together

raised three amazing children, Brendon, Brittany and Brianne Hicks.

During this time he began working in the medical field; later starting

up his own medical company which grew from 5 employees to 80.  Anthony

then opened up additional companies with great success.  Even with a

vast amount of businesses to run, Anthony also obtained his pilot

license and loved to fly his airplane on any given beautiful day.

Hunting was also a past time he enjoyed; everything from deer to ducks

with close friends.  There is no telling what other accomplishment

Anthony would have succeeded at if only given the time.  God must have

needed such a funny, loving and charismatic Shepard to join him in

heaven and he will be very much missed by those who were fortunate

enough to have known him in this life time.
