Ricky was a man of great common sense. That is a trait that is increasingly rare today in a culture that struggles to know good from evil and right from wrong. He was also a man of great compassion as is evident from the good works he was endlessly doing for and with his family, friends, church, and even strangers through missions like Room In the Inn. Ricky was also a man of great faith as both Ricky and Brenda had been tested physically, and spiritually and emerged unshaken. Finally, but not least, Ricky was a man of few words. I know after his throat cancer it was more difficult for Ricky to speak. But he just never seemed to be a man of words to me. He was more a man of action. And because of this, when Ricky did speak, you took notice and listened. Thank you Ricky for your friendship, love, and wisdom.
I enjoyed working with Ricky in service for our Lord. He always made clean up day fun. He always had a smile and a hug for me on Sunday mornings. RIP sweet friend.
So sorry Melody for you & your family. I remember your Uncle Ricky dearly😌he was always so kind & helpful. He will be missed for sure🫶🙏🏼♥️
Ricky was a loving caring Christian man, I had the honor of serving with him several years at Donelson First Baptist Church, He was a caring person who always wanted to help others and did, He loved GOD and his family, He will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him. I will miss my brother in Christ and his quick wit and the love he had for his family and friends always willing to help.
Ricky was a wonderful Christian, funny, compassionate man. I wasn't blessed to have known him for a long time but he was the type of person that made a lasting impression. I will always remember him for his quick wit and being the person to always step up when things needed done. Rip my friend!
