Ricky was a simple man who loved God and his family. He attended Mill Creek Baptist Church and was Baptist in his faith. Ricky was centered in his faith and his family and loved anything that involved his grandsons and great granddaughters. He enjoyed watching his grandsons play any sport and that always put a smile on his face.
He was married to his lifelong love for 50 years. He loved farming, logging, and any outside activity. He enjoyed a good western, a family get together, a good church service and was rarely seen without his constant companion, LJ.
Preceding him in death were his parents, two sisters: Hilda Weeks and Elizabeth Fields and three brothers: Ralph Steele, Gary Steele and Sherril Steele.
