Glen Douglas Hickerson, 58, resident of Bristow, OK, passed away in Tulsa, OK on August 24th due to complications related to COVID-19. Glen was born on September 8, 1961 in Oklahoma City, OK to Ronald Douglas and Virginia Hickerson. Glen grew up in Midwest City and was raised in the Presbyterian church. His parents instilled tolerant and patriotic values in him. Glen would express these values by pursuing a degree in law. He attended the University of Oklahoma’s law school achieving his Juris Doctorate. Glen was an excellent lawyer for 32 years, serving as an Assistant District Attorney and defense attorney in many Oklahoma counties. His life revolved around his children Benjamin and Jessica. He was a consistent supporter of Jessica’s passion for volleyball, and Benjamin’s pursuits as a musician. But was pleasantly surprised when Jessica became an elementary school teacher for the Deaf and Benjamin became a microbiologist. His passions lied in studying the world and the people in it. All too often in his line of work, he saw the worst humanity had to offer, but somehow managed to focus his life on these basic principles: “To always do the right thing even when it is hard, to stand up to injustice in all its forms, and to live out a life that honors ones family.” He loved traveling, audio books, OU sports, and spending time with his children and pets. His compassion and love for the world is carried on in his children Benjamin (Jennifer) Hickerson and Jessica (Roland) Hickerson. 

He is survived by his sisters Mary (Michael) Flemig, Karen (Arlinda) Gleffe, his niece Kimberly (Brian) Dombroski, nephews Blake and Brett Wojcak, his horses Scout and Nacho as well as many cherished friends. 

He is preceded in death by his parents Ronald Douglas and Virginia Hickerson and his many beloved departed pets. 

A virtual live stream memorial service will be held Sunday, August 30th at 1:00. Reverend Kirt Moelling of the First United Methodist Church in Yukon will be officiating. The service can be found on the YouTube Channel – FUMC Yukon. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC73xzL9dDSGfY4-tps2-Qhg
