Lewis Berry Hickman

Lewis Berry Hickman, Jr. died peacefully at his Wetumpka, AL, home on June 16, 2024. He was born June 12, 1951, in Atlanta, GA, to Lewis Berry Hickman, Sr. and Velma Lupo Hickman, and raised in Dothan, AL.

Lewis graduated from The University of Alabama and from which he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, and he graduated from The Jones Law Institute with his Juris Doctor. For over forty years, he has dedicated his life to serving his clients at his accounting and legal office in Montgomery, AL. He helped countless clients during some very trying times in their lives.

He was devoted to his family and friends. Those who knew him gravitated toward his warm, generous, dynamic, and intellectual personality. He had a serving heart and took great pleasure in helping others. Lewis enjoyed cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide, driving his boat, barbequing, fishing, bonding with all animals, and telling stories. Later in life, he enjoyed feeding the birds and watching the antics of the squirrels when he greased the shepherd’s hook holding the feeders.

In addition to both parents, Lewis was predeceased by his son, Lewis “Heyboy” Berry Hickman, III, who he loved very much.

He is survived by his loving wife of almost fifty-one years, Carol Duren Hickman; his daughter Amber Carol Hickman McKowen (David) of Birmingham, AL; his two beloved grandsons, David McKowen IV and James Lewis McKowen; siblings Carey Allen Hickman (Janna), Lamar Hickman (Elsie); and his adored black labrador, Blackbird.

Visitation will be before the services at 1:30 p.m. at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial to The Humane Society of Elmore County.
