Ricky Mayton Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 10, 2018.
Ricky Wayne Mayton, born on March 14, 1963 in Durham, North Carolina, to the late Priscilla Jewel Stephens and the late James Raeford Mayton, passed away at age 55 on September 18, 2018 at Duke Regional Hospital due to liver cancer and liver failure.

Ricky has 4 children. Lisa Mayton (Terrence), Joseph Mayton (Melissa), Crystle Mayton () and James Mayton (Brittany). He has 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. He also has a brother Michael Mayton and a sister Robin Mayton Lee (Danny) and nieces and nephews. He also has his best friend and brother in law Terry Wayne Carnell. He is preceded in death by his father James Raeford Mayton and his mother Priscilla Judy Mayton.

Ricky was a strong willed man who lived life to the fullest and gave it back just as hard. He came across as a tough guy, but to the ones who really knew him he did have a good heart and would help anyone. He truly loved his friends and family. In the end Ricky accepted Christ as his Savior and even though he did not think that he deserved to be forgiven for his sins, God forgave him.

We will remember him forever. Rest in Peace Ricky.
