Ricky was a member of the Little Texas Community Church and Tabernacle. He was a wonderful husband, daddy, and papa. He loved the outdoors and sharing his garden with everyone. His love of the outdoors led him to be a land manager for Wiregrass Construction for many years where he gained many lasting friendships. He was very proud of all his family and his children, and he passed his work ethic on to his sons. He was a very special man, and his passing has left a void in so many lives.
