Danny Ross Hickenbottom, 62, of Barnesville, Ohio passed away on Thursday, October 30, 2014 at Wheeling Hospital. He was born on July 2, 1952 in Canton, Ohio to Harley and Patricia Hickenbottom. He retired from United Dairy in Martins Ferry Ohio, where he worked for 31 years. He was baptized on March 5, 1988 as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and was an active worshipper from then on. He enjoyed getting out and sharing with others in the neighborhood the Bible's hope for the future involving God's Kingdom. He was a loving husband and best friend to his wife Denise. Their relationship grew and their love got stronger over the 33 years that they were married. He was also the best father that a person could ever have. He enjoyed gardening, farming, and working outdoors with his hands. He relished the moments that he could spend teaching his children and grandchildren about God's wonderful creation. The times he spent with his family are the components of memories that will last forever. He touched and shaped many lives. He was preceded in death by his father, Harley Hickenbottom. Surviving family include his wife, Denise Hickenbottom; mother, Patricia Hickenbottom; sons, Brandon (Rachel) Hickenbottom, Nathanael (Jenny) Hickenbottom; daughter Bailey (Brian) VanDyne; sisters, Katherine Corbett, Diane (Robert) McFadden, Connie (Dan) Moellendick; brother, Dennis Hickenbottom; granddaughters, Sabrina and Sydney Hickenbottom; grandson, Jude VanDyne; and numerous nieces and nephews. Danny firmly believed in the Bible's hope of a resurrection and his family shares that same hope. They eagerly await the time when they will get the chance to embrace him once again.
