HICKS, MATTHEW TRENT
AC2 (AW/SW) Matthew T. Hicks, U.S. Navy, passed peacefully into the hands of his Heavenly Father, due to an AVM (Arterial Venus Malformation) on Monday, June 16, 2008.
Born in San Diego, California, to Tracy and Vera Hicks in November 1982, Matthew graduated from Kearny High School in 2000. His love of baseball began in Little League and lasted beyond High School Varsity.
He was a Life Scout in Boy Scout Troop 278 at Peace Lutheran Church. He had a great love for life and all its challenges.
Matthew joined the Navy in January 2005 and thoroughly enjoyed his tour on USS PELELIU LHA 5. He had great pride in his job as an Air Traffic Controller. Matthew's greatest joy in life was his son, Matthew T. Hicks II. He would spend every spare moment with him. Seeing the two of them together was a real joy to anyone. Matthew is survived by his son Matthew T. Hicks II (Mom Jennifer); parents Tracy and Vera Hicks; brothers Tracy III (wife Nuccia), Phillip (wife Kara) and Patrick; nephews Darren Lyman and Tracy Hicks IV; nieces Katelyn Hicks and Angelina Hicks; and fiancee Brittney Swartwout.
