After he retired from Exxon in 2016, Ricky worked for the MLSBC, directing passengers onto cruise ships. When cruising was stopped during the pandemic, Ricky then went to work for O’Reilly Auto Parts delivering parts. Ricky made many friends at all of his workplaces throughout the years. He was an active member of Moody Methodist Church. He cooked and served many meals at the Salvation Army. He was also a member of the Emmaus Community. In his free time, Ricky enjoyed going fishing or playing a round of golf; most of all he loved spending time with his family and watching his grandchildren play sports.

See Condolences

I"m sorry for you loss. Rick was a good friend to my Father in the Telecom and Network industry and I later became a co-worker with Rick at the Exxon Baytown refinery. He was the nicest supervisor to work for in the short years I got to be around him. I will miss him dearly.

Daddy It’s been two weeks since you left us. I will forever light a candle for you. I miss you so much. Bryan and I will take care of Momma. Please give Pawpaw and both Grandmas hugs for us. I love you daddy! Forever your little girl.

Kandy, I hope you remember me from the old neighborhood in Galveston. I clearly remember Ricky having his "bachelor pad" in the garage apartment. You guys were such great neighbors and friends. I was very sorry to read of Ricky's passing; it is way to early for him. May God ease your sorry each passing day and leave you with nothing but good memories and love.

Robin, Amber and Ryan, Lawana and I are so sorry for your loss. Rick was a great guy and obviously a wonderful husband, dad, and grandpa. May the love of Christ carry your families throughout this difficult time. Love to you all. Buddy and Lawana Blackwell

I loved working with Rick at Carnival. When I would see him I knew it was going to be a good day. My condolences and thoughts and prayers to his family. This great guy will be truly missed. You were a favorite my friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in sympathy for your loss.

Sending my deepest condolences to your family. It was a pleasure getting to know Rick over the last several years. He he was a great friend and neighbor to my dad and will be truly missed. May the Lord provide you comfort during this difficult time.

I'm lighting this candle to show that light always conquers darkness, especially, at this time. May Yahowah's face shine on you all, as you all, temporarily, say goodbye to your Rick (husband, dad, and grandfather). Love y'all.

Robin, Amber, and Bryan, I know that there are no words I can use, nor actions, that can take away the pain of your loss of such a great family patriarch (husband, dad, grandfather) who loved you all so much, but I am always here, for you all. Rick will continue to live on, in your hearts and memories, even though he sleeps, until that great day of Heavenly reconciliation, and it will be a glorious one! We love y'all, and hope that you call on us, at any time of need for anything.

Robin, praying for you and the family. Rick was a great neighbor and friend. He had a ready smile and was always looking for ways to help others. He will be missed, but always remembered.

Ricky had been like a brother to me since high school. Judy and I have had many great and funny memories with him and Robin for decades. His humor and family values will be missed by many. Luv Ya Brother!!
