From Hickok himself on Glock Talk website:
I've had considerable communication with Derik in recent months and weeks about grips for the Shield and such. My last text from him was on May 11th and things seemed fine.
He's always responsive to texts and calls, so I fear for the "worst," too. I've not gotten any response from his cell number, either text or voice, so I just don't know yet what's going on either. I'm deeply saddened by this, as I've been very impressed by what a great guy he is.

Hey Steak, I have not found out for sure but on Talons Facebook page someone said Derik died. I am not sure though. I ordered new grips for my glock 2 weeks ago. If he did die his family might be figuring out how to keep his business running. Dave

Truth is like the finest dagger ever made;
The steel cannot be dulled, chipped or broken.
Its thrust is deep and causes agonizing pain.
Those struck with the dagger of truth
must come to terms with the wicked lies
within their heart and soul.
No matter where you run or hide, nor how deep you dig your foxhole...the big green weenie WILL find you.
