Hyman Izbicki

Hyman Izbicki, of Lampasas, Texas, lost his 4-year battle with cancer on June 24, 2025.  He was born on May 14, 1951, in Barletta, Italy, to Abraham and Rosa Izbicki.

The family immigrated to the United States in 1956.  They initially lived in Chicago and later settled in Sioux City, Iowa.  Hyman enlisted in the Army after high school and obtained his US citizenship during his enlistment.  He would later work for DOD as a Systems Analyst for 36 years, both in Panama in the former Canal Zone and Ft Hood, TX.  Upon retirement in 2017, he enjoyed volunteering for Meals on Wheels, AdventHealth Rollins Brook Hospital, LAFTA, and Vision Lampasas.  He firmly believed in service to country, community, and others, paying it forward and loving and supporting his friends and family.  He was tremendously proud of his family's story of coming to America, prospering, and living the American dream.  He loved adventures, big or small, traveling, music, a great political debate, and stimulating conversations.  His happiest moments were when he was cooking and feeding his family and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Tina Matney of Lampasas; his children, Lea Parrott of Bryan, Texas, Tammy Crespo of Long Beach California, Aaron Izbicki of Long Beach, California, Miriam Wilson of Shelby, North Carolina, and Tzeitel Austin of Hudson, North Carolina; his siblings, Lina McMillin of Sioux City, Iowa, Golda Trantham of Fairview, North Carolina, and Jack Izbicki of Naples, Florida; nine grandchildren, Max, Owen, Joshua, Joey, Aiden, Wyatt, Parker, Ivey, and Ryan.  Hyman was preceded in death by his parents, Abraham and Rosa Izbicki.

Per his wishes, he will be cremated.  A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.  To honor his life, donations may be made to Lampasas Association for the Arts or Lampasas Meals on Wheels.
