Rick (Ricky) Allen King, 61, of De Graff passed away on January 28, 2022 at Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney. He was born June 1, 1961 in Flemingsburg, Kentucky to Earl Francis and Hester Mae (Harris) King.

He worked a lot of his life in grain elevators, starting at Eldean in Troy, Shepard Grain in Fletcher, Craig's in West Liberty, and finally at Heritage in De Graff.

He is survived by his wife Brenda, daughters Melissa (Will) Clerico, Christina (Josh) Leeper, Amanda (Jason) Blackford, and Angela (Tony) Littlejohn. 10 grandchildren: Kiersten, Xavier, Jayce, and Carter Clerico, Riley and Jailyn Leeper, Isaac and Aiden Blackford, and Bridget and Abigail Littlejohn. 1 great-grandson Tyrese. Brother Danny King and sister Linda Swafford.

Rick was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Hester King, brothers Clarence Thomas Jr, Robert Thomas, Donnie King, Lannie King, and sisters Nancy Wood, Carol (Jeannie) Darland, Cennie Klopfer, Joyce Hill, and Lou Wanda Mahan.

He had a great love for his grandchildren and always found ways to keep them entertained and happy. He loved country music, especially George Jones, who I'm sure he is singing songs with now. He went on many trips to his favorite place, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. He always helped anyone who needed his help or his time.

Fly high. You will be missed by your family and friends. We will always hold you in our hearts.

Arrangements are in the care of Jennings, Farley & Seeley Funeral Home and Crematory. Per Rick's request there will be no services.
