Rick Wayne Wilson, 68, of Falmouth, Kentucky, passed away Monday, February 9, 2026, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood. Born November 4, 1957, Rick was the son of the late Roy Leland and Betty Crofford Wilson.

He dedicated many years of his career to working as a grain merchandiser with Consolidated Grain and Barge Company. In addition to his work in the grain industry, Rick was the proud owner of Time Out Tavern in Falmouth, where he built lasting friendships with many people there.

Rick was an avid University of Kentucky fan who enjoyed all types of sporting events. His love of sports extended far beyond the stands, as he devoted countless hours to coaching recreational sports in Pendleton County. His dedication, encouragement, and generosity impacted the lives of many young athletes and their families, as well as those he coached with. Known for his generous spirit and genuine kindness, he will be missed by many in this community

Rick is survived by his siblings: Pat (Kevin) Browning, Nancy (Marty) Crotty, David (Sandy) Wilson, Jim Wilson, Joe Wilson, and Bill Wilson; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers: Danny Wilson, Rodney Lee Wilson, and Michael Scott Wilson.

Rick's visitation will take place on Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 1PM-3PM at the Woodhead Funeral Home in Falmouth. Funeral services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. His final resting place will be the Morgan Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be given to the Joshua Wilson Browning Scholarship Fund.

Rick was a super person who loved to talk sports and work with young people in getting them outside and involved in sports. I´ve known Rick for 40 years and will miss his conversations. He was a great colleague and a friend.

Rick was a dedicated and intelligent employee. He worked for me in the early 1980's at The Early & Daniel Co. in Cincinnati as an elevator superintendent then as a grain merchant.
