Rickey (Dean) was a pillar to his community, and he was loved and respected by both the old and young. He touched the lives of many of our youths in the community. He never met a stranger, and he was always willing to lend a helping. He was the co-owner of J&R’s Detailing Shop in Newellton, LA. He also resided in Bossier City, LA for several years and was employed at Willis Knighton Medical Center. In April 2009, he and his wife helped to sponsor the Newellton Community Youth Choir. He organized “A Few Good Men and Women” as well as other organizations that helped with the betterment of his community.  He enjoyed being with family and friends and inviting them over to one of his famous “Cookouts”. It was all done in love, but there was one thing you did not do around him: talk against the Dallas Cowboys!!!! He and his wife were both die heart fans of the Dallas Cowboys.
