Teddy “Ted” Eugene Hicks was born November 7, 1952, in Panama City, Florida, to Leon and Marie Hicks. Ted spent many days as a young man drawing, as he aspired to be a cartoonist. His artistic talent led him to a long and successful career as an architect. He helped design many residential homes and significant commercial projects, such as the Administration Building at Troy University, the Poultry Science Building at Auburn University, the new addition to Bryant-Denny Stadium, as well as numerous correctional institutions. In addition to drawing, Ted enjoyed calligraphy, spoiling his 3 grandkids and moonlighting as a Facebook comedian.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Linda Sue Powell Hicks of Eufaula, AL, one son Leonard Craig Hicks (wife Dana), of Marianna, FL, three grandchildren, Steven Hicks (wife Kaitlyn), Emily Paul (husband James), and Kenzie Hicks, one sister, Glenda Simmons (husband Don), one brother, Leon Hicks, Jr. (wife Sharon), as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
