Jeffrey Wicks ended his journey peacefully on January 5, 2025 after a long illness.

Predeceased by his parents, Alvin and Sonia Wicks, he is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Rachel Chadwick Wicks, and their daughter Jane. Jeff is also survived by his sisters Regina (Timothy) Wicks-Frank and Joanna (Scott) Grenrock and a tremendous loving community of nieces, nephews, extended family, and lifelong friends.

Jeff leaves behind a strong commitment to civil rights, championing the underserved and democratic principles. His love of music began with the Beatles and was a positive outlet throughout his life as a self-taught guitarist. Passionate to the core for politics, the law, and a good argument, his voice will long be remembered.
