Brian Ricker Obituary

Brian Ricker, born on July 14, 1971, passed away on January 14, 2024, at the age of 52 following a long period of declining health.

Brian was the son of Wilfred "Rick" Ricker, Jr., and Rosemary Mason. He was a lifelong resident of Manchester, NH where he was born and raised.

Those who knew Brian could always count on a phone call at random times with a story to tell. His caring heart and sense of humor will be missed by many.

Brian was especially proud of his son, who survives him, Tyler Saint Denis. He is additionally survived by his stepfather Bill Mason and siblings Eric Ricker, Sr., Steven Ricker, Victoria Doucette, Patricia Cote, Michael Lafond, Steven Lafond, Paula Gallant, and Brian Mason. He leaves behind many nieces and nephews.

Brian is predeceased by his mother Rosemary Mason, his father Wilfred Ricker, Jr., his stepmother Constance Ricker, his sister Vonice Ricker, and his brother James Mason.

Services: A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
