Ricky Lumpkin

We are very sorry to find out so late of Ricky Lumpkin's passing. He took our wedding pictures in 1985 and presented them to us as a present. We were working with him at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, and Ricky was a great drum major for the 36th Army Band. May God be with his entire family.

Katherine, this is Min Robert White, my heart is utterly broken. Forgive me for not sending my regrets sooner, it's not that I didnt know that my brother had passed, its just that i didn't want this to be real. Your husband (is) still one of the best men that I have and ever will meet. I'm sorry but I probably wont call cause i dont want to upset you. But I want you to know that I love Ricky and you. Ricky rest in peace i wish I could trade places with you right now.

I can't explain just how much of a mentor and advisor to me when I was a young soldier. Among other things, he taught how to play racquetball.

He was a great man, and he still is.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless

I had had a tough year during the 2015-2016 school year and was financially drained. I went to see a fellow co-worker with regard to help with an electric bill. This co-worker helped me with that electric bill but evidently spoke to Mr. Lumpkin about my situation and in return, in my estimation, very generous with providing financial assistance, since summer was right around the corner. I suspect I'm not the only person Mr. Lumpkin helped, but I do know he was a very caring individual not only to those who worked with him, but to the community as well. He left a great legacy to be remembered and to build upon, and I for one will never forget and will honor him for the man he was and for the spirit man who nourished our souls.

To Katherine Lumpkin and family:

My deepest sympathy to all of you on the Homegoing of your beloved Ricky. I had a lot of admiration for him. He was a role model as a great family man.

I am saddened by your loss and praying for your comfort and strength from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I knew Ricky as a young boy growing up in Argo, IL and a loving brother to my beloved best friend Lessie. May he Rest In Heaven R.I.H.

We love you guys and may God continue blessing you. Take one day at a time.

Mr. Ricky Lumpkin,


When I seen you at work, there was always a good energy and vibe from you.You always made me feel welcomed. Mr. Happy-Camper was how you addressed me. How you took the time to get to know me. Through all of the interviews I had at work, you were always encouraging. You always had my back. The respect and trust I had from you was something that I didn't have from my own dad. I remember when I hit the brick mailbox and I had to come in and face the music, you said not to worry about it.. But you gave that smirk look like I hope this doesn't happen again. I will miss you, but definitely not forget you. In your words on the radio, "3-17 out."
Love you,
Happy-Camper

Ricky, we have known each other about 23 years when we both started working for CMCSS. I was working at Ringgold and your boys both started elementary school somewhere around that time. You have always been such an inspirational, positive man. It was a pleasure to know and work with you. I know your Transportation Family is taking this very hard as I'm sure your Wife and the rest of your Family are. Please wrap your loving arms around them and let them know it's going to be okay. We are all going to miss you but we will see you again one day.

Mr. Ricky,

You were a great manager and a very respected man. Everytime I seen you at work, you always smiled, addressed me, and was pleasant. It's so hard to believe that I will not see this anymore. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May you Rest In Peace..

I'm going to miss your smile and wonderful voice in the choir. Always had a kind word to say . I know you will be singing loud in heaven. Praying for your wonderful family always.

Rest in peace Ricky Lumpkin. May God greet you with loving arms and may you rest peacefully with him.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you all.
Always Lorine Slayden and Family

Not only he was my husbands boss, he was a true friend. When ever I was in the building he would go out of his way to come and find me to say hello or ask about our son Justin. He will be truly missed.RIP Rickey and we will see you again in heaven!!!

Ricky, you are gone way too soon. We had such great conversations while you swept my room at KES. Family, I'll always remember Ricky as a most kind and caring gentleman with a big and loving heart for all people. I'll never forget that big smile and happy laughter he shared with all of us. So sorry for your loss.

Deacon Lumpkin's life speaks for him. While recovering at home his Sunday class and I sent a lovely card that they all signed. He loved those children, and they loved him. He encouraged them to be successful in regular school also by ensuring each honor roll student at Community Chapel received a medaled ribbon around their neck. That's just one aspect of his service to the young and to the old. My granddaughter, myself and all informed of his untimely demise were astounded and immediately expressed grief after learning of his transition from this life to another. He'll be missed by so many. His reward will be great in heaven! As his former secretary I was affectionately known by him as "Sis B." God bless the family who remain dear in our hearts and prayers.

I have looked up to and respected Ricky since starting here almost 4 years ago. He was considerate, understanding and genuinely interested in what you had to say, I will miss you Ricky!

You will truly be missed!

In Deepest Sympathy,
Ricky was a friend and brother in Christ.
He loved his wife, sons, and family dearly.
Ricky will be missed. He fought a good
fight. He kept the Faith. May the Promises of
God that were given long ago keep our hearts
filled with peace on the journey. We will see
Ricky again in Heaven.

Ricky was a special person, he always displayed a friendly and positive attitude. Ricky loved the Lord and had no problem letting you know it. He would help anyone that he could, just a genuine soul. The world has lost a good man and I a friend. God bless his wife and family.

Sorry to hear this. He was always so kind to me at work

Cus, you were a true inspiration for the family, I will treasure our last conversation we had while giving respect to our uncle. I still tell family how you and your wife came to visit me in South Carolina and how much that meant to me and my family for that I will always have a special place in my heart for you and your family love you cus until we meet again.

Ricky was a true boss and friend. Working with Ricky for 17 years has made a huge impact in my life he was a Godly man and kept me and our transportation family in high spirits through difficult times and good times. We loved him but know he is no pain but sitting with our Lord.
