Mariah Jade Hickman's Obituary
Mariah Jade Hickman, 19, of Nashville, passed away unexpectedly on October 18th, 2023.
Mariah was born on November 25th, 2003, in Clarksburg, West Virginia. As a baby she showed signs of her fierce personality from the beginning, a quality she carried through her life and was known for. Mariah lived in multiple places throughout her life including her birthplace of West Virginia, and later Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. Her immediate family of Danielle Lewis (mother), Brent Ventosa (father), and siblings Holly and Aden loved her free spirit and ability to be authentically Mariah no matter what.
Mariah attended Antioch High School in Nashville Tennessee. She loved all things self-expression, including painting and photography, as well as nature, and animals- especially dogs. No matter the dog, they all loved Mariah in return. Mariah also enjoyed old school R&B and was obsessed with her sneaker collection. Above all, Mariah loved her family- especially her sister Holly, and brother Aden, whose birthday she celebrated a week ago.
Mariah will be deeply missed by her family for her humor and laugh, as well as her attitude and endless personality.
Mariah was preceded in death by her great-grandmother Norma, grandmother Pamela, and grandfather Skip. She is survived by Danielle Lewis (mother), Brent Ventosa (father), Holly Hickman (sister), Aden Lewis (brother), and Jeffrey Lewis (stepfather), as well as extended family and friends.
Services will be privately held for the family and invited friends.
