David B. Hickens
July 8, 1955 - May 10, 2022

David graduated from Enid High School in May 1973.

David enjoyed travel and sightseeing, both domestic and international. He was an avid skier, spending many weeks on the slopes in Colorado and New Mexico. Time with family and friends was important to David, and he often shared his passion for travel and skiing by sharing trips and lift tickets with those he was close to.

Survivors include his sister Susan Beatty of Wichita, KS; brother Larry Hickens of Maryville, TN; one nephew, Alan Skrapke of Enid, OK; two nieces, Angela Shackelford of Charlottesville, VA, and Gillian Hickens of Chattanooga, TN, and numerous other family members.
