Ricky was a strong, reliable, responsible, dependable, hard working, good hearted man, husband, father, Pawpaw, brother, uncle, brother- in- law, and friend. Everyone who really knew him knew that Ricky’s word was his bond. If Ricky told you he would be there or help you in any way, you could count on it. Ricky was going to do it, you never had to question it! He was stubborn and hard headed, but that’s ok. Most of us are, in our own ways, and that’s not always a bad thing! Ricky was a big LSU tiger fan and loved to fish. He was the Foreman over the body shop at Curry’s Truck & Frame in Monroe for the past 15 years. Ricky made lifelong friends there and each and every one of them will tell you that he was a hard working, dedicated worker! To all of Ricky’s family and friends, he may not have said the words to you out loud, but he loved you all in his own way. Ricky appreciated and valued his relationships and friendships with you always! We all were so blessed to have had him in our lives! Rest in peace Ricky! We will miss you dearly and see you on the other side!
Blake and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to everyone for the prayers, love and support that you have shown us during this time and we are grateful for each one of you ! Thank you all so much!!
Pallbearers will be Tommy Pylant, Gerry Hicks, Danny Corrent, Steve Perry, Layne Arant, and Jonathan Winn. Honorary pallbearers will be Philip Pool and Wayne Murphy.
