Lester Lynn Hickman Obituary

Dec 11, 1943 - Nov 29, 2021

This obituary is administered by:

Lester Lynn Hickman (Pops) was born December 11, 1943 in Houston, Texas to Harvey Hickman & Anne Pruitt. 

He peacefully passed away in his home November 29, 2021.

 At just 17 years old, Les enlisted into the US Navy in 1960. He fought bravely as a Riverine Force Captain in Vietnam. He was awarded with 4 Purple Hearts, 1 Gold & 1 Silver Service Star and a Navy Commendation (Combat β€œV”) medal. 

Les had a dry sense of humor but knew exactly how to make everyone laugh even through his bluntness. 


He may not have been awarded a medal for 3 wives & 10 kids but we applaud him for his hard work 


 He lived such a full life that he was always the man you went to for advice and wisdom. It’s remarkable how much one man can know. 

 He spent his happiest days drinking coffee, watching old westerns, wood craftsmen work, special lunches with his 2 best friends, raising his youngest daughter (Kristina) and those special holidays or events with grandchildren. 

He is survived by 10 Children, 17 Grandchildren, and 4 Great Grandchildren. 

  He will be greatly missed. 

You can to the family or in memory of Lester Hickman.
