Missing you you maybe gone but as long as I breath you wont be forgotten.  We love you pops/uncle Rickey

Ricky was one of greatest men I had the honor to know . He would never ask anyone for help, but always go out of way to help someone else even if did even know them.everywhere Ricky would go he made a friend. 
If you didn’t know what kind of a man Ricky was all you would half to do is look at his two sons Dean and Drew. I have so many memories with Ricky. 
whenever you were with him he always made sure you had a good time  I will never forget times we had ,or the man.It was an honor to know him, and call him my best friend. I love you and I will miss you buddy.

Rickey and I graduated High School together and remained friends through adulthood. Our Senior year, he was voted the male with the most School Spirit. And indeed he was! He was an inspiration to many including myself. He will be greatly missed. 

Ricky was a great father to two great sons.  He could do anything and pretty much did!  He will be truely missed by his family as well as all the lives he touched.

Rickey is my 3rd cousin. When my family moved home to Pell City I was going into the 8th Grade. Rickey and his family took me in and because Rickey was so popular my transition of being a Yankee from Chicago went smoothly well. We also accepted Christ the following year at Cropwell Baptist. He was always a inspiration to us all. I loved him very much and I am so glad he was part of my life. R.I.P. dear Cuz. 

I miss you uncle Rickey. You always called me babygirl. I still have the glove you gave me and I still have the last message sent to me from you. I love you. I will do everything I can to help aunt Dawn and the rest.

Rickey will very much be missed.  He was a great customer, all around great guy.  I will never forget ole "Speedy" coming through the bank on his scooter as he would speed past my desk on purpose. His family are in my thoughts and prayers! 

Rest up. You are missed. Y9u became a father figure o my wife a second father to me and a uncle to these kids. Man these kids love you and we all miss you and can't believe you are gone. Hug pawpaw for us till we meet again bud I love you

I can't believe you are gone you are my hand picked by God to be my father figure. I don't know how I am supposed to go on without you and your advice. I love you and I and 1 heart broken girl.

So sorry to learn of Rickey’s passing, a longtime good friend,lots of great memories.......prayers to the entire family (Dean my heart breaks for you) .....R.I.P.🙏🙏
