Ricky Ryals

Ricky Curtis Ryals, 78, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, passed away on June 24, 2025. Born on May 25, 1947, in Wynne, Arkansas, Ricky brought joy, laughter, and warmth to everyone who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Freddy and Janet Ryals. Ricky is survived by his devoted wife, Jennifer Ryals; his stepchildren, Aaron Campbell, Ashley Campbell Carter (John), and Brandon Campbell (Neha); his cherished grandchildren, Dev and Maya Campbell, Grant and Chandler Carter; several loving cousins; and his beloved dog and faithful companion, Angel.

Ricky was a man of many passions. He was an avid golfer, a proud fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks, and above all, a man with a quick wit and infectious sense of humor. His ability to make others laugh was one of his greatest gifts, and he never missed an opportunity to share a joke or brighten someone’s day.

A celebration of life will be held in October to honor Ricky’s memory. Details will be announced at a later date.

Ricky's presence will be deeply missed, but his laughter and legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
