Obituary: Ronald Wicks Lived for God, Friends and Family

Funeral services will be held on Friday at Canton First United Methodist Church.

The following obituary was submitted by Darby Funeral Home:

Ron Wicks lived — for God, his wife, family and friends. Ron loved—he loved his life. While he did not want to die and leave his loved ones, he knew that his Eternal Home would offer a kingdom of joy, hope and promise, a new life free of pain, untethered to the trappings here on earth.

Until they all join him in his heavenly home, Ron leaves in wait his adoring wife of 27+ years, Barbara Wicks; 3 children (Terry Wicks and wife Selina, Tanya Wicks, Robyn Luna and husband Sal), 4 grandchildren ( Seth, Ethan, and Mandy Burrowes and Braelyn Wicks), 3 step-grandchildren (Bronte, Makensie and Savannah Lynch), and loyal dog Zeke.

When told of his terminal condition, Ron pronounced that this is the Falcons’ last chance to prove to him they can win the Superbowl–his love of sports reflected in his fun-loving sense of humor and love of life.

Perfect? No. Only Jesus was. Forgiven? Absolutely. I am redeemed!
