Liam Edison Hricik

Liam Bubba Edison Hricik, of Salem, Va., went to be with the Lord on Friday, October 6, 2023, at just 11 months old. The name Liam literally means strong-willed warrior, and thats exactly what he was. While he was known to give the stink eye, he was a happy child who smiled with his full face. He enjoyed putting a smile on other peoples faces as well especially when he stuck his tongue out or fluttered his long, brown eyelashes. Preceding him in death was a grandfather, Richard Edison Johns; and step-grandfather, Alan T. Hess. His surviving family who will love him forever includes his parents, Paul M. Hricik and Missy Marie Johns; siblings, Elijah Ray Wallace and Crispin Carter Wallace; grandmothers, Mary W. Johns and Frances M. Hess; uncles, Chad E. Johns, Eric C. Johns and wife, Hannah G., and Alyx Beech; aunt, Cora M. Patriak; and many other extended family members. The family wishes to thank the 7th floor staff members at UVA Medical Center for their excellent care and love; they are now family. All are invited to celebrate Liams life on Friday, October 13, 2023, at the John M. Oakey & Son Chapel in Salem, Va. Visitation will begin at 1 p.m. and the service at 2 p.m. Interment will immediately follow at Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens.
