Ricky Dale Baker

Ricky Dale Baker, the man with a laugh loud enough to startle the angels, has taken his final ride to the great clubhouse in the sky. Born on August 11, 1963, in Monahans, Texas, to Tony R. Baker Sr. and Martha (Jenkins) Baker. Ricky's journey on this earth came to a peaceful end on July 19, 2025, in Odessa, Texas. His life was a novel worthy of the westerns he so adored, filled with adventure, love, and an endless supply of laughter.

Ricky, affectionately known as 'Two Fingers' to his Iron Pigs MC family, was a high school graduate of Permian High in Odessa, TX. He wasn't just any warehouse laborer; he was the guy who could lift your spirits higher than any forklift could reach. His love for motorcycles was only rivaled by his passion for golf, a game he passed on to his son Zach.

He was a bridge between worlds, patched into the Iron Pigs MC in 2002, and despite not being a police officer or fireman, he was embraced as a brother. His knack for bringing people together was legendary, and his ability to show up "Johnny on the spot" when anyone needed help was nothing short of superheroic. Of course, Ricky would give you the shirt off his back, and let's be honest, half the time he wasn't wearing one anyway.

A voracious reader, Ricky could often be found with his nose in a book, unless he was mowing the grass at the clubhouse on his trusty steed (his riding lawn mower). He was the guy who'd rather get 'all jacked up on Mt Dew' like Ricky Bobby than sip a cup of joe. In fact, his aversion to coffee led to one of the greatest 'where are my keys?' capers of all time.

Ricky was the heart and soul of any gathering, with a gravitational pull of fun that drew in crowds. He was the kind of man who woke up with the roosters, never needing caffeine to fuel his boundless energy. His sense of humor was as sharp as his intelligence, and his love for his family knew no bounds. He was a devoted son to his mother Martha, a loving father to Colby, Zachary, and Bridgette, and the proudest grandpa to his two grandchildren McKalynn McKenzie Baker and Dominic Lee Davis.

He leaves behind a legacy of joy, encapsulated by his famous catchphrase, "I'll hit 'em right in the mouth, after I rooster up." Ricky's approach to life was one of love, laughter, and intelligence. He was a man who could outwit you, outplay you, and outlast you on the dance floor.

Preceded in death by his father, Tony R. Baker Sr., and his son Colby Dalton Baker, Ricky's memory will be cherished by his mother Martha, children: Zach and Bridgette grandchildren, McKalynn McKenzie Baker and Dominic Lee Davis: one brother Tony Baker Jr and one sister Angela Baker: a slew of nieces, nephews, his best friend Louie, and the entire Iron Pigs MC family. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Ricky was a comet that blazed brightly through the lives of all who knew him. His absence leaves a void that will be filled with stories, laughter, and a few 'Two Fingers' salutes in his honor.

Ricky Dale Baker, 'Two Fingers,' the Shake N Bake king, was a man who lived life full throttle. He was the wildcard in every deck, the spark in every engine, and the man who could light up a room with a smile.

Ride on, Ricky. Ride on.
