Rickey Willis was a good man, husband and father. He loved God with all his heart and soul. He truly loved his wife and family. His death is a great loss to his family, church community and his co-workers. His legacy of love and kindness will be indelibly etched in the hearts and minds of those who truly knew and loved him. We humbly bow to God and we know that to be absent from the body is to be present with God. I have no doubt he is with the Father.

Rickey was my next-door neighbor and was like a brother to me. We shared many happy times and he introduced me to his favorite gospel singer: Shirley Ceaser. He always loved the Lord and lived his life accordingly. We were planning to see each other this year at the Mega Reunion, but God had other plans for Rickey. Rest in peace, my brother. You left behind a great legacy. I am so proud of you, all you accomplished and the lives you touched in your 58 years. Barbara Russell Pittman
