Mr. Charles Douglas Hicks, age 83, of Lumberton, passed away Thursday, June 27, 2019, at Greenbrier Rehabilitation Center in Fairmont. He was born in Robeson County on March 16, 1936, to the late Lacy Douglas Hicks and the late Ada Tew Hicks. He and his family were the founders of Hicks Drive-In in Lumberton and he worked for 10 years at Osterneck Industries and 15 years with VPC Industries. He always took great pride in his work and had a strong work ethic; but, above all, he loved his family more than life itself.

Along with his parents, he was also preceded in death by two brothers, Lacy V. Hicks and William L. Hicks; and three brothers-in-law: Stacy McLellan, Johnnie Bullard, and Keith Parker.

He is survived by his daughter, Christle Hicks Baxley of Ocean Isle Beach, NC; two grandchildren, Gracie Lillian Baxley and Charlee Rebecca Baxley, both of Ocean Isle Beach, NC; four sisters: Nellie McLellan, Margaret Bullard, and Virginia Freeman (Wallace), all of Lumberton, NC, and Sylvia Parker of Shallotte, NC; a sister-in-law, Ann Hicks of Concord, NC; and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends prior to the service on Saturday, June 29, 2019, from 1:00-2:00 PM at Floyd Mortuary & Crematory, Inc., 809 E. 5 ^th Street in Lumberton. Following the visitation, a funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM in the chapel with Rev. David Anderson officiating. Burial will follow at Gardens of Faith Cemetery in Lumberton.
