After graduating high school from Quitman, Texas, he attended trade school and began his lifelong passion of custom wood working. He married the love of his life, Ouida Jean Geeslin on October 10, 1981, in Dallas, Texas. Ricky was a hard worker, who loved generously, and gave the best hugs. He had a smile as big as Texas and could light up the room. He overcame many obstacles in his lifetime and shared his testimony with anyone that would listen. If you couldn't find him, he was probably fishing somewhere. He was a man of great faith who constantly drew his strength from the Lord and made his family his highest priority.
