Rickey Mitchell Perry

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Rickey M. Perry, 67, of Abbeville, LA, passed away on August 13, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Born on March 24, 1958, in Abbeville, LA, Rickey lived a full life, dedicated to his family and his work as an oilfield industry SCR Electrician before retiring. In retirement, his greatest joy came from spending time with his family—especially his beloved grandchildren & great-grandchildren, who were the light of his life. He had an eye for a bargain and a love for the thrill of the hunt as he often visited bin stores and liquidation centers in search of the best deals and treasures. Online auctions became a favorite pastime with one of his most memorable adventures being winning the bid for an entire estate in Covington—a story that he loved to tell and that perfectly captured his adventurous spirit. He lived his life with curiosity, humor, and a generous heart, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a smile. His presence brought comfort, his laughter filled rooms, and his love for his family was the foundation of everything he did.
