Born March 14, 1959 in Letcher County, Kentucky, he was the son of Tom and Carol Sue (Baker) Triplett. He married Sandy Hagemier in 1986 and she survives.
Rick was a 1978 graduate of Mitchell High School. He worked as a truck driver and diesel mechanic for Hancock Trucking. Rick was a member of the Sons of the American Legion Post No. 250. He enjoyed being in his workshop; whether it was metal work, woodworking, working on cars, or even hot rods. Riding motorcycles was also one of his passions. He was very artistic and liked to paint as well. Rick loved his family dearly.
Surviving are his wife, Sandy Triplett of Paoli; children, Nathan (Rebecca) Kemple of Orleans, Krystle Triplett of Paoli, and Skyler Triplett of Paoli; siblings, Brenda Kellams of Mitchell, Jack (Angie) Triplett of Huron, Linda Wright of Huron, and Mike Triplett of Scottsburg; and his many grandcats.
His parents and brother, Glendal Hall, preceded him in death.
