Jerry Lee Hickel, 64, passed away on August 31, 2023 at 9:57 AM at 464 Maple Ave. in Salina, KS.

Jerry was born on June 17, 1959 in Salina, KS to parents Edward and Lois Elliott Hickel.

Jerry served in the US Navy.

He liked watching westerns and Hallmark when he was not at work. He enjoyed woodworking and built many things for family and friends. He took great pride in his yard and kept it immaculate. He loved the Holiday’s and spending time with all the grandkids. He was a quiet gentle man but stern and we knew he loved us all. We will miss him dearly as he was a great son, dad, granddad (papa to the grandkids), great-granddad, brother and friend.

Jerry was working at Menards in the Shipping and Receiving Department.
