Ricky was a cowboy in his much younger years. He loved being a bullrider but put up his spurs and latigo as he entered adulthood and became a father. He never lost his love for rodeo. Ricky enjoyed going to the Ft. Worth stockyards, camping and fishing. He had a strong admiration and love for Bald Eagles. Ricky also had a real knack for telling tall tales…very tall tales. Ricky was a member of Metroplex Church in Burleson.

Ricky is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Nell Harwell and brother, Curtis Harwell.

Isaiah 40:31

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not be faint.
