Thinking of the family as Lloyd's wonderful life is celebrated today. I miss Uncle Lloyd who was so funny, loving and caring. I have a lot of fond memories with him as a child, particularly the times we spent in Port Angeles and Sol Duc. My thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Carol, Cheri, Jeff, Marcus, Derik and the rest of the family.

Many good memories with the Hickerson family from family visits at the Sol Duc, bible studies within their home and many other fond memories. Thoughts are with the family.

To Carol and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Where there is sadness there is happiness, where there is happiness there is sadness. Through it all there will be brighter days. I think of the great times at Staircase, and the many moments of sharing. Thinking of you always.

I am thankful for the brief time we had together as cousins in Renton. May the Lord bring comfort in this time of loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Carol and the family. We shared a mutual passion for collecting Department 56 houses and were always impressed by their hospitality when our club visited their home to see their displays or for our annual picnic. Lloyd was a friend and he will be missed.

Our prayers for God's arms to hold you and comfort you Carol and the Hickerson family.Our family has good memories of visiting the Hickersons when Lloyd was a Park Ranger at Sol Duc. Love, Steve and Kathy Tucker

A man who left an impression on his students... a man I will always remember with respect.

Your young family was a hoot to be around the summer of 1976 at the Sol Duc Ranger Station. Lloyd, bless his patient heart, rescued me more than once when I couldn't keep that 3 on the column van rolling up toward the trailhead on that last steep hill. His easy smile and friendly answers ("Where ARE the hot springs anyway?") made him the great ranger the area needed. My thoughts continue to be with you in this difficult time.

Steve Tanner

Uncle Lloyd inspired me in many ways with his easy-going demeanor, penchant for a joke, and ability to always seem (and be) happy. I have great memories of fishing, spending time in Port Angeles and visiting Lake Chelan with him when I was a child. I will miss him terribly and I feel blessed to have had him in my life.

My love and prayers go out to Aunt Carol, Cheri, Jeff, Marcus, Derek and all the other family members and friends that Uncle Lloyd touched throughout his life.

Much love,

I first worked with Lloyd in the 1970s at Olympic National Park. I remember him being a very dedicated employee and I'm sure this dedication was ever present in his occupation as a teacher. Lloyd was very friendly and always ready to help in any situation. This world would be a much better place with more people like Lloyd Hickerson. He will be missed on many levels.

May 21, 2014

Karla Richardson

Lloyd let his light shine. He encouraged others to do the same.

He lived and shared his faith. I remember him working hard for his church, for his family, and for the community.

I grew up with his children. I offer all of them and their mother, Carol, my deepest condolences.

Lauri Kingsley

Prayers go out to the Hickerson family. Lloyd as well as the Seed family were teachers to my sons. A very grand person is now gone from this world, but has moved on to the other side. Rest in peace and may your family know how much you are respected.

Mary Kane

I appreciate so much Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Carol coming to visit us when they were travelling through the area. They were here just this past fall and my kids always loved when they came, too. Our prayers are with all the family. We love you. I'm so happy to know he's in heaven and not suffering.

Lloyd, Carol and the Hickerson family has been like a second family to me, as far back as I can remember. Lloyd was like a second father, and a great man, always there for all of us. Each year hunting with my dad, fishing with my dad, camping, hiking, auto repair, house projects etc. He was a great teacher, great father, and great person and will be missed by many!

May 21, 2014

I've said it before with conviction coming from the heart, and say it again today: Lloyd and Carol, "I have the utmost respect for you." If ever I contributed something for you to enjoy, "you deserved it." The world has lost one of the best. I am so sad.

Steve & Charlene Olson

This is still very hard to grasp. And it's difficult to know what to say. I have many memories of visiting Renton as we were growing up. There was the Seattle World's Fair, and Woodland Park Zoo, playing in Lake Washington, several weddings (including Lloyd's & Carol's) going to church, Easter breakfast, and so much more. Then when Lloyd and Carol moved to Nampa to go to college, they invited my parents and us five kids (at the time) for dinner in their tiny barracks of an apartment. Thankfully, when they moved back to Washington, they came to visit us in Boise somewhat regularly (Steve and I didn't travel as much as Lloyd and Carol did. We finally went to their place in Port Angeles only summer before last for the first time. Their welcome mat was always out and they had asked us to come for years. But it worked out to take Mom and Dad (Uncle Charlie and Aunt Evelyn) to see Dad's brother, Oscar Jr., Donna & Jerry, Shirley Anne, Lloyd & Carol and their son Derik's family. We had such a good visit those couple of days, enjoying Carol's wonderful cooking (salmon Lloyd had caught), a drive up to Hurricane Ridge, even birthday candles and ice cream for Steve. That turned out to be the last time Dad (Charlie) saw his brother Oscar, Jr. He's in a skilled nursing facility now since spending a week in the hospital with several physical issues; but mostly has suffered a big decline in his ability to communicate or function on his own with the progression of his lewy body dementia over the past six weeks especially. Mom is doing pretty well right now, although sad to be separated from her life partner of nearly 66 years. I'm so proud to be a part of the Hickerson family with the depth of faith that runs through it. Lloyd and Carol have always been a strong witness to their faith in Christ, and I'm happy for (and a little jealous) of where Lloyd is spending his next part of eternity right now. Looking forward to seeing you again one day, Lloyd. Love and prayers for your loved ones left behind (for now),

Remembering more than 30 years of good times together: teaching, camping, traveling, hunting, fishing, searching for glass floats, hiking, Dept. 56ing, working together on roofing, deck and ramp construction, and remodeling projects.
Lloyd has been a part of many facets of our lives and will be greatly missed.

So sorry about the Hickerson Family's loss of Lloyd. I did not know him, but I know his son, Jeff, his daughterinlaw Yvonne, and grandchildren Robin and Brooke. They are a wonderful kind and loving family who share with all around them.

I am going to miss that wonderful wit and intelligence of Lloyd Hickerson. The last time I saw him was when he and Carol opened up their home for a Village Traders open house tour this past January. With Lloyd one never knew what he was going to surprise you with, and on this day he pulled me aside. The Seattle Seahawks were in the play offs and this game was crucial. Lloyd had on his Seahawk jersey. When he pulled me aside he lifted up his jersey to reveal our club shirt. Being a Seahawk fan myself, I thought that was a wonderful jester on his part. Later on we sat on the couch and had a stimulating conversation about how he and Carol got to have sky dome seats at a Atlanta Falcons game. Lloyd will be missed by all that knew him.
Sincerely

I remember Lloyd surrounded by all those sisters! Also remember when Carol Jeanne and Lloyd came to our home in Boise with a new baby. Lloyd was a very proud father, and a student at NNC (now NNU). We are so glad we had the opportunity to visit with Lloyd and Carol Jeanne these past few years at both Boise and McCall. He was a man of substance, and he touched the lives of his family, friends and former students. We send our sympathies to the entire family.

Very sorry to see this. The world just lost another great man. A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a friend on the subject of teachers when Lloyd came up. He had been a student of his many years ago and never forgot the respect he showed his students even though they were just young kids, something he will never forget. I never had the privilege of having Lloyd as a teacher in the school system. I did however have the opportunity to work with him in the national park service and will always remember those times fondly. Thank you Lloyed, you changed our world for the better and will be greatly missed.

The greatest tribute one can have is leaving the rest of us with someone just as special. Lloyd Hickerson did so with his children-his beautiful daughter Cheri is a dear friend, devoted wife and mother, and lovely woman. Lloyd thank you for touching so many while living a life so full. Rest easy, and know how much you are loved.

May 20, 2014

Karen and Jim Fraley

Lloyd was younger than I, but I have several fond memories. One is that Carol Jeanne and he came to our Boise home with a new baby--and he was a very proud father! He was a student at NNU. We really value the past several years, when Lloyd and Carol Jeanne came to visit us both in Boise and McCall. Lloyd made a positive impact on his family, friends and former students. He was a good man. Our prayers go out to all his family.

May 20, 2014

Karen and Jim Fraley

I have many memories of Lloyd, though I was older than he. I especially remember when Carol Jeanne and he came to our home in Boise with a new baby. He was a PROUD father (and a student at NNU as I recall). We recently had some great visits when Carol Jeanne and he visited us in both Boise and McCall. The world has lost a good man who made a difference in the lives of his family, friends and students. Our sympathies and love to the Hickerson family.

May 20, 2014

Karen and Jim Fraley

We value the time we were able to spend with Lloyd (and Carol Jeanne) during their recent trips to Idaho--both in Boise and at McCall. One of my memories of Lloyd was he and Carol Jeanne coming to the Eason home in Boise with a new baby! I recall that he was attending NNC (now NNU) at the time--and was a very proud father. The world has lost a good man who made a difference in the lives of his family and his students. We send our sympathies and our love to the family.

In loving memory of a very special brother. You have always there for me, helping in so many ways. I have many precious memories of fun times together. I will love you and miss you always.

Some the best memories that I have from my career with the National Park Service were working with Lloyd for five summers at Soleduck from 1982 through 1986. I missed working with Lloyd when he moved over to the Elwha after that, and later went into full retirement. Though we have not seen much of each other in the intervening years, I have thought of him, and will continue to think of him often. He is a true friend and a wonderful person. It was obvious how much of a family man Lloyd is and I know he will be dearly missed. I know that his faith has taken him to the ultimate reward that he so richly deserves.

Sweet Brother,
You gave love, advise and lots of laughter. I was so lucky to have you as my big brother and share so many happy memories. I'll always think of you when I hear a joke and I know you will be laughing too. You brought out the best in me. I will miss you terribly.
Carol
