He was an amazing man.  He married me and Tracy.  He always told me he tied that knot pretty good. He will be missed.  

Our whole family thought highly of Brother Ricky. He was our pastor for many years at New Hope Baptist. He also baptized both of our daughters. 

Brother Ricky was a caring and authentic person who loved the Lord and spoke the truth. We feel very blessed to have known him. We have no doubt that he is in heaven now, praising God and reunited with all of his loved ones!

Ricky was a very special man.  I can remember one year I was harvesting my cotton crop and my cotton picker broke down.  It was late in the harvesting season and I was struggling to finish.  Mr. Lowery and Ricky jumped in to help me by allowing me to use their cotton picker.  I could not have finished without their help.  They would not take any money for the use of the machine.  Great friends with giving hearts.  We will never forget it!!  Prayers for Mickie and the family.

There are some people in this world, that are so good, so righteous & honorable, they seem invincible. If you are very lucky, you might come across one once in your lifetime. To be related to one of these extraordinary people is a blessing not many of us are bestowed. By the grace of God, I was one of those people. Now I’m not the best with family trees. So I know technically Ricky wasn’t my Uncle, but since I can remember, he was & will forever be, my Uncle Ricky. 
As fortunate as I was to know him, to have the privilege of calling him family, exterior forces kept me from being able to spend nearly as much time with him & his remarkable family as I would have liked. 
Still, his impact on my family & I was unparalled. There are not many people left in this world who find genuine joy in service & community. Who always put everyone before themselves & who believe you gain more by giving than receiving. Who believe service, faith, love & family are all you need. That is how I will always remember my Uncle. As the rarest of gems. A man who wanted to be there for everyone more than he ever wanted anything for himself. A man who was tested over & over again & never wavered. Who always stood back up & kept striving to be better, do better & help more. A man who will forever be the very definition of love. “Love is patient & kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” To me this is who he will always be. The purest of hearts, the hardest of workers, the strongest of believers, the eternal embodiment of love. He not only made our world a better place, he made us better people. The example he set it is one  I will forever try to live up to, & be grateful for.  We love you, we thank you & until we meet again, we will miss you.

Pastor Ricky was a wonderful preacher he baptized me 3 years ago he was a wonderful friend he always was there to help us worship the lord he is going to be really missed 

Ricky was a wonderful person 
Love and prayers for his family 

I have known Bro. Ricky and Mickie Lowery practically my whole life. Bro. Ricky had a huge impact on my life. He was the youth pastor at Maple Grove Baptist church, and he taught me many things. He was always so caring, and nice to everyone he met. It’s hard to believe that he is no longer on this earth. He is most definitely walking the streets of gold, reunited with those that went before him. Prayers to the family, and Rest in Peace Bro. Ricky, your work on this earth is done. 

Ricky has touched my life in so many ways. Back in the 80’s he saved and Baptized Sharon Graben Zysk and I. He married Jimmy and I. He rode to Tennessee to save my Daddy just because I asked him to because I knew if anyone could it would be Ricky. When my Mom passed away in 2020 he and Mickey again came because I asked him to because it mean so much to me . I used to tell Ricky you and one of my brothers are 2 of the best people on this earth & I was completely serious . Ricky and Mickey were there to say a prayer when I had kidney stone surgery removal.. it was 6 times he came and was always there ready to pray for me. My heart is broken because he was the best man I knew on this earth.. very selfless.. very caring and always preached family and friends funerals .. of he also saved and baptized both of my daughters . We were blessed beyond words to have had Ricky in our lives. Heaven gained a Saint and now he will watch over his family and his flock from above. He will be greatly missed forever. I’ve always loved the Lowery family they have always made me feel apart of them & that I will forever be grateful for.
