Carl Wycliffe Hicks, Sr. was born in San Nicolas, Aruba on March 27, 1952. With his parents and siblings he moved to Canada March 1968. He was artistic, creative, inquisitive, loved technology, and had a gift for connecting with people.

Amongst other things, he was also a kidney failure survivor in 2012, and an eventual kidney transplant recipient in 2017. This became a huge part of his life. And desiring to channel his kidney failure and kidney transplant experience in as much of a meaningful, helpful, productive, and positive direction as possible, he became a passionate patient partner participant at the University Health Network (UHN).

... His body passed away in Scarborough, Ontario on July 17, 2022, and his soul and spirit awakened in an indescribably glorious place, where he is now seeing, hearing, and encountering inexpressible sights and sounds, too amazing and wonderous for words – in heaven.
