Rickey was known for his kindness, humor, and deep love for his family and friends. He was admired for his creativeness and ability to make anything with his hands.

Rickey was known to turn up the volume when a good song played on the radio and remembered the storyline from every movie he watched. The true joy of his life was being a father and grandfather.

Left to cherish his memory, Rickey leaves behind his daughter Brooke Strider Hunter (Jace), grandchildren Luke and Lacey Hunter, sister Kaye Buie (Ben) and many other extended family members. His cat, Knuckles, also added much joy to his life.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his stepfather, Carl Owens and stepmother, Claudia Mae Strider.
