Otto William Hicks, the two-week-old son of Thad and Sarah Hicks of Marysville, died Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017, at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.
In his brief life, like his twin brother Oliver, who preceded him in death, he fought a hard battle to live. In the end, he was too fragile and small to survive.
He was born on Aug. 31, 2017, in Columbus, to Thad and Sarah Hicks. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his maternal grandparents, Rick and Tammy Jacob of Marysville; paternal grandparents, June and Tony Ackley of Marysville and Lonnie and Debi Hicks of Enon; and numerous aunts, uncles and little cousins who were looking forward to help take care of him and Oliver.
The Rev. Paul Mills will officiate a private graveside service Saturday at Mount Herman Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in care of Ingram Funeral Home, who is completing arrangements. Condolences may be expressed at www.ingramfuneralservice.com.
