Ricky A. Schnee

"Ricky A. Schnee, born on May 9th, 1961 to Jewel Harper and Frank Schnee, in Palm Bay Florida. Ricky was the middle child to older brother Jeffrey Schnee, and younger brother Michael Schnee. Ricky passed on in his hometown on June 12th, 2025 at the age of 64.

Ricky, nicknamed "Rick" by his loved ones, was a powerful force of peace and serenity. Never on anyone's bad side, Ricky made it a point to be happy in any situation he was in, and did so with his charm and approachable nature. With a great taste in music, which ranged from Guns n' Roses to his idol Dean Martin, and with an adoration of Western movies, Game of Thrones, and unearthing golden treasures on his favorite gold rush shows, Ricky had a fun spirit of adventure. A die hard Pittsburgh Pirates baseball fan, his world was covered in yellow and black, as he watched every game and every season with his closest friend and confidant, his brother Mike. He enjoyed many things in his life, but nothing could ever match the love for his brothers. As a friend he was trustworthy, generous, and light-hearted, and to his family, he was incredibly loving and giving. His beautiful endearing spirit, and warm heart, will be missed greatly.

Ricky is survived by his father Frank Schnee, his nephew Ryan Schnee, Kaleena Schnee, Laurie and Skip, Brenda Fowler Kirkendall, and best friends Mary and John Goelz. Ricky made an lasting impression on everyone he met, and his impact will be felt long after he's gone. Ricky is reunited with his mother, Jewel, and his two brothers, Jeff and Mike.

Although no service has been held, the surviving friends and family are highly encouraged to conduct their own personal celebration of life and service in memory and love for Ricky. Any condolences, or happy memories, may be sent to his nephew, Ryan Schnee at [email protected]. May he walk with us with every step, and may we embrace his lasting love of joy."
