Darrell Eugene Wicks, a 25-year resident of Kettle Falls, Washington, passed away suddenly on June 27, 2017 at the age of 64. Dar- rell was born on Nov. 2, 1952, in Savannah, Georgia, the son of Franklin Eugene and Doris Helen (Carpen- ter) Wicks. Darrell’s family moved from Savan- nah, Georgai., to Wicks Pilot Rock, Oregon, before settling down in Hermiston. In Hermiston, Darrell attended school and graduated from Hermis- ton High School in 1970. He then went on to college in Spokane at the Kinman Business University. While attending college, Darrell met Mary Ann Schulhauser and they later wed on Dec. 8, 1973, in Spokane. Darrell had graduated in 1972 with a degree in accounting and was hired by the Hecla Mining Com- pany as an assistant office manager of the Lucky Fri- day Mine in Mullan, Idaho. Darrell later transferred to the main office for Hecla in Wallace and then to the corporate office in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in 1985. He then began commuting to the Republic mine in 1989 working as the Republic Accelerated Decline proj- ect manager. On Nov. 1, 1991, their family moved to Kettle Falls, Washington, and Darrell continued at the mine as their accountant. He then spent a short time in Rexburg, Idaho, before returning to Republic for the Echo Bay Company. In 2002, Darrell began serving as the Colville City Treasurer, a position which he held for over two years before accepting a position at Hearth and Home. His work with Hearth and Home drew to a close with the plant layoffs in 2015. For the past year, Darrell enjoyed his time driving school bus and beginning his retirement. Darrell’s reserved na- ture gave cover to his kind, gentle and soft heart. He gave of himself to help fam- ily, friends and neighbors especially with their yard and landscaping projects. He found renewal after work in his many hours of “yard-therapy”. Darrell was active in his Kettle Falls Community Church family. He taught Sunday School and led youth group and youth group activ- ities. He enjoyed watching and playing sports, was a compet- itive runner, played church league soft- ball and volleyball, was known to play pranks and especially enjoyed games that created laughter and his ability to win. Darrell also hunted, fished and treasured time outdoors. He loved his family, his faith journey and his ability to generate a smile through the simple gesture of offering a piece of candy from his “candy bag” to others. Darrell was preceded in death by his father, Frank- lin Eugene “Gene” Wicks. He is survived by his wife, Mary Ann Wicks of Kettle Falls, Wash.; daughter Jen- nifer Meusy and her hus- band Chris of Nine Mile Falls, Wash.; son Dave Wicks and his wife Lisa of Kettle Falls, Wash.; grand- children Ava, Braden and Brinley Meusy, and Kara and Kaylee Wicks; broth- ers Steve Wicks and his wife Mavis of Parkersburg, Iowa, and Richard Wicks and his wife Gina of Herm- iston, Ore.; mother Doris Wicks of Hermiston, Ore.; and several nieces, neph- ews and cousins, as well as extended family and friends. A funeral service for Dar- rell E. Wicks began at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, July 1, 2017, at the Kettle Falls Commu- nity Church with Pastor Tony Pinkham officiating.
