In Memory of Declan Hicks: Support His Family

As many of you know, a horrible tragedy occurred at the Blue Crabs stadium this past Friday. It is said that being a parent is hard, but nothing is harder than losing a child, especially in something so innocent that no parent would expect. That day family, friends, and the world lost a dinosaur lover, ninja turtle fan, and crazy sock wearing (with boots!) 5-year-old, Declan Hicks.

Declan was a part of the Blessed Lambs Preschool family for 3 years. He was a very special little boy who brought light and laughter to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. To know him was to love him. He was a great friend, and a fan favorite in his 4-year-old classroom, not just with other children but with his teachers. Our heart aches for his family and our school family.

We know that no money can bring back this wonderful little life but hope to help his family navigate through this difficult time.

Declan was not just a son but a brother and loved so much by his family. We know that surrounding them with love and support during this time would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:

Family and friends will unite on Friday, August 16, 2024 at 10:00am until hour of Celebration of Life at 11:00am at South Potomac Church, 4915 Robert Crain Hwy, White Plain, Maryland 20695. A private burial will follow.
