Kevin Hickman

As his Grandmother the late Rev. Francine R. Hickman had all of her grandchildren in church two or more times in a week. Kevin then excepted Christ at an early age. Also , humorless, he was nicknamed Thee Rev. Ike because he would always wear his fancy suits while carrying his bible. This would always get “him brownie points with both his Grandparents”. In his later years he became a member of Evangelic Gospel Tabernacle  Church Elder Rodney Porter Pastor. Kevin was a devoted Father of three and a Grandfather of 7 whom were the apple of his eye.  He also was the loving always present Uncle to 13 nieces and Nephews. Kevin was a jack of all trade from landscaping to cooking. He especially got satisfaction from others enjoying his food.
