It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic loss of Coco Hicks (Corina Hicks), a talented volleyball star and cherished member of the HOV community, who passed away in a car accident along with her father, Andy Hicks. Her mother, Bekka, and brother, Isaac, remain in the ICU in Raleigh, fighting for their recovery, while her siblings, Maddie and Caleb, remain by their side during this unimaginable time of grief.
Coco was a vibrant, loving, and inspiring young woman. Her presence lit up every room she entered, both on and off the volleyball court. As a teammate, competitor, and friend, she gave her time, energy, and heart to her sport and her community. Her dedication, joy, and spirit touched the lives of many, and her legacy within the HOV volleyball program will never be forgotten.
Family, friends, and the community are rallying to support the Hicks family during this devastating period. A GoFundMe page has been established to help with immediate and future expenses, encouraging the HOV family and supporters to contribute through donations, prayers, and acts of compassion. The goal of $20,000 is set as a starting point, but the hope is to exceed it in support of a family enduring an overwhelming tragedy.
The Hicks family asks the community to lift up Bekka and Isaac in prayer for recovery, while also keeping Maddie and Caleb in their hearts as they navigate the emotional weight of this loss. Collective prayers are requested for healing, strength, peace, and comfort for the entire family.
While the full scope of their needs will unfold in the coming days, the HOV community and all who knew Coco are encouraged to come together to provide unwavering support, love, and compassion. This tragedy reminds us that beyond being a volleyball club, we are a family—and families come together in times of heartbreak.
Coco Hicks’s energy, light, and spirit will forever remain in the memories of those she inspired. Though her life was cut far too short, her legacy of joy, teamwork, and kindness will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her.
