Phil was born July 14, 1955 to the late Delmar and Edith Glover Hicks in Campbellsville, KY.

Phil displayed wisdom and drive throughout his life, frequently pursuing new challenges such as opening and operating various local businesses including auto repair, wrecker services, bail bonds and even a restaurant. He retired from Visteon Corporation in Connersville, IN where he also served as a chief union steward for the local UAW. His sensible approach to life and genuine sensitivity towards others resulted in his being well loved and respected by almost everyone he came in contact with. His generous spirit and desire to support his community developed into a natural affinity for public service which channeled into his providing notary and paralegal services, serving as a volunteer firefighter, a police officer for a number of years and also a private investigator. Most recently, Phil worked as the manager of Arrow Head Ranch and Green River Lake Commons. He was a Kentucky Colonel and a member of the Connersville Masonic Lodge. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing guitar and spending time with his grandchildren. He had a deep love of gospel music and a strong Christian belief system.
