Rickey Donell Massey, was born on October 13, 1958 in Houston, TX, son of the late Richard Massey and Betty Massey. He attended Terrell Middle School and Kashmere Senior High School (class of 77) where he found his love for football. He played until a knee injury prevented him from playing further, but it didn’t stop his love for the game. A devoted Dallas Cowboys fan, he held a wealth of knowledge and stats concerning sports. He also loved fishing, playing cards and dominoes. One of his favorite places, besides the casino was sitting at the domino table with family and friends.
Growing up in the city, he remained a country boy at heart. He loved animals and raised a few farm animals in his earlier years. He truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures: Chatting with family, friends and spending time with his nephews and nieces.
