Michael Rickert Obituary
In the professional sphere, Mike was a dedicated and diligent worker, dedicating his career to the tractor trailer industry. He began his journey in the factory and steadily climbed the ranks, ultimately becoming a respected contractor at the NS ramp in Rossville, TN.
He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Rickert. Michael is survived by his loving and spirited wife of 35 years, Cindy Rickert; his adoring sons, Cody Rickert, Justin Rickert, and Jacob Rickert; his precious granddaughter, Harlow Rickert; his devoted mother, Beverly Rickert; his brothers, Danny Rickert (Joan) and Kevin Rickert (Christina); and his beloved, often mischievous, sketchy dog, Nicki.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Forever Young Veterans, or to Cindy's Great Cycle Challenge fundraiser in memory of Michael.
Visitation to pay respects and celebrate Michael's life will be held from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm on Sunday, September 17, at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, located at 3700 N. Germantown Rd, Bartlett, TN. A heartwarming celebration of his life will follow at 2:00 pm.
Michael Rickert will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family, his passion for sports, and his love of the open road. He leaves behind a legacy of love, adventure, and hard work that will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace.
