Jackie Eugene Hickman Jr., 66, of Knoxville, Tennessee, passed away on April 18, 2026. Born December 20, 1959, Jackie will be remembered with deep affection for the steady kindness he showed to those around him, and for the cherished place he held in the lives of his family and friends.
Jackie’s warmth was felt most clearly in the simple, faithful ways he cared—especially in the special bond he shared with his beloved dog, Thor, a companionship that reflected the gentle heart so many came to know and value.
Jackie is survived by his mother, Shirley Trevena (Ken); his devoted and loving wife of 30 years, Sheila Hickman; his son, Eric Hickman (Alyssa); his step-daughter, Tiffany Moss; his sister, Sharon Flynn (Rick); his granddaughter, Leila Hickman; his grandson, Finley Hickman; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Jackie was preceded in death by his father, Jack Hickman, Sr.
A Graveside Service will be held at Berry Highland South, 9010 E Simpson Rd, Knoxville, TN 37920, on April 22, 2026, at 1:00 pm. The service will be officiated by Rev. Mark Carr.
