Rocki Donald Ricketts' Obituary
Rocki Donald Ricketts, age 59, passed away in his home in Wheeler on May 6, 2018. Rocki went to be with the love of his life of 25 years Diane Christianson who preceded him in death in July 2017. He and Diane lived in Mobeetie for the first 15 years of their relationship before moving to Wheeler in 2008. Rocki was a very devoted husband and loving father to Diane’s children. He often joked that they “kept scratching and scratching on the screen door until he finally had to let them in.” He not only let them into the home but into his heart as well, raising them and loving them as his very own. He had a huge heart and a great love for his kids and grandkids. Rocki had a smile that could light up the room. That light shined especially bright when surrounded by his loved ones. His true loves in life were fishing, family, and friends. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and friends who became family.
Rocki leaves behind his six kids Kristi Page, Misty Baker, George Reeves, Shana Reeves, Stormy Proa, and Alvin Reeves. 23 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Services for Rocki Donald Ricketts will be held at Cornerstone Church of Wheeler Texas, Monday, May 21, at 10AM.
If love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.
