Rickie "Rick" Joe Willman, age 71, of Dewey, Oklahoma, passed away on December 12, 2025.

Rick was born on September 3, 1954, in Stillwater, Oklahoma, to Francis Bueford Willman and Willie Imogene (Jester) Willman. He graduated from Dewey High School in 1973.

Rick had a deep love for the outdoors. He was a farmer by trade and had a remarkable ability to grow, harvest, repair, or fix just about anything. He spent many meaningful years working and living on the Moberly Family Farm, where his skills and dedication were evident in all he did. In his free time, he enjoyed gardening, cooking, fishing, canning, and camping. One of his greatest joys was making the children around him laugh, always bringing smiles and happiness wherever he went. He was also devoted to his love of the Lord as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Rick lived his life in service to those around him, freely pouring out his love through good works. He was always eager to share advice and knowledge - whether it was asked for or not.

Rick is survived by his three children, Torrey Barnes, Joshua Willman, and Amber Hough and her husband Cooper; two grandchildren, Triston Brown and Mayson Willman; one great-grandson, Theodore Brown; and four siblings, Danny Willman and wife Melinda, Deborah McBride, David Willman and wife DeeAnn, and Donna Grimes and husband Guy. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bueford and Imogene Willman, and his brother, Terry Willman.

No services are planned at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel, 4201 Nowata Rd., Bartlesville, OK 74006, 918-333-7665. Online condolences and remembrances may be shared at www.DavisFamilyFuneralHome.com.
