The Franklin community and the family of Johnda Hicks are grappling with her sudden and unexpected passing. Her nephew, Shon Hicks-Kimmle, has been particularly vocal, expressing his profound grief and soliciting support through social media and a GoFundMe campaign to manage the funeral expenses and support Johnda’s four daughters and mother.
Shon’s distress was palpable in his recent Facebook post, where he wrote, "We simply lost a loved one and a great person way too soon. I can’t get over this and I’m just lost for words." He implored the community for donations, stressing the urgency and the devastating impact of Johnda’s death on the family. The GoFundMe page echoes this sentiment, detailing the family’s immediate need for financial assistance to cover burial costs and support Johnda’s immediate family through "the hardest times of their lives."
As of now, the campaign has raised a modest $270 of its $10,000 goal, with contributions from individuals including Roy Tincher, who donated $250, and an anonymous donor who contributed $20. The community’s reaction has been one of shared sorrow, with many expressing their condolences and support through social media. Comments from individuals like Daniel Williams, Manda Thompson, and Karen Carrigan reflect a deep sympathy, with Karen noting, "Sorry just doesn’t seem enough to say. I am thinking and praying for you, family and all her friends."
The loss of Johnda Hicks has left a void in the Franklin community and among her loved ones, manifesting in both emotional and financial strain as they navigate this challenging period without her.
