Ricky Richardson, Youngstown, Ohio

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – Ricky Richardson, a beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle and friend of Youngstown, Ohio, took his final bow with grace and dignity on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on January 20, 1957, the son of Mary and David Ricardson, Ricky was a true character—an introverted soul with a heart as vast as the sky, who danced through life with a perfect blend of silliness and yet sternness. Find obituaries from your high school Ricky's love for jazz and R&B painted the soundtrack of his life, while the navy blue Plymouth Fury he adored as a teen framed his youthful adventures. He found bliss on serene fishing trips and reveled in the soothing shades of blue that mirrored his gentle spirit. A devoted fan of the Steelers, he wore his team's colors with pride, forever the loyal supporter. A man of faith, he attended and supported First Presbyterian Church. He wore his cleats with pride, eschewing the thought of rundown shoes, and often maintained a playful fiscal conservativeness in his daily affairs. Never married and without children of his own, Ricky poured his affection into his cherished nieces and nephews, especially Janay and Dayesha, bringing warmth to family gatherings that will forever echo in their hearts. Though a man of few words, those who knew him appreciated his unique charm. He was lovingly cared for by his cousin, Patricia Brown, whose devotion reflected the strong family ties he held dear. Ricky's warmth contrasted with his aversion to mac & cheese—always unwavering in protest of a dish that simply did not do justice to his taste. He is survived by his devoted sister, Mamie Richardson Lomax; brother, Ronnie Richardson and brother-in-law, Bishop Solomon Clark, Jr. Together, they will celebrate the laughter and love that Ricky brought into their lives. He also is embraced by his aunt, Viola Davis and a host of nieces and nephews which includes, Rodney Clark, Carl Clark, Shekinah Clark, Miesha Engles, Mareen Engles, James Engles, Jr., Dayesha Lomax, Janay (Mark Rivers) Robinson, Paul Richardson, Jr., Paul Brittan and Demice Stewart.
