Obituary Preview: Richard Ray King passed from this realm on Monday, April 11, 2022.

Ricky was blessed to live long enough to see his grandchildren:  Daniel and Darcy Satterly, Kiera and Noah King.

Ricky has worked as a heavy equipment operator, as well as a mechanic. He enjoyed working with logging crews, road crews and mining crews. These past few years, he enjoyed operating a few smaller pieces for his own homestead in Buras, Kentucky.

For the past several years, he has operated on a much smaller scale, but as he has told us, a much more fulfilling time on our place here in Buras. His homestead was a place to play in the dirt, mow some grass, listen to the birds sing and the wildlife roam. This simple man could be found often around the place enjoying the company of many friends in the garage, sharing tomatoes from his garden, talking about the good Lord giving us what we need, even though it may not be what we want. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed until we meet again in heaven.
