AR Macoy A.D. Hicks, 20, U.S. Navy, born in New York July 12, 1998, lost the battle within on February 11, 2019. After serving a year as a Ceremonial Guardsman in D.C., Hicks became an Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) aboard the USS Nimitz (CVN-68). There, he helped spot and direct aircraft and maintain all systems on the flight deck essential for taking off and landing. Hicks was a kind soul with a smile that lit up the room. He was a loyal friend, a loving son, and a great brother. Fair winds and following seas, Airman! Til Valhalla, Brother!
