Ricky J Elliott, age 62, of Kansas City, Missouri passed away on Monday, September 24, 2018. Ricky was born November 25, 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri to parents Edward and Velma Elliott. Ricky was a member of the 1975 graduating class of Northeast High School. One of Ricky's favorite memories of high school was entering the building after hours and stowing the hall monitor's scooter on the roof....or maybe it was when he and his friends rode their motorcycles down the hallways. Whatever the case, he had a good time. To know Ricky was to love him. Throughout his 62 years of life, Ricky always kept his sense of humor and was always thoughtful. After high school, Ricky was a stagehand for Starlight Theatre. He married the love of his life, Bonnie, in 1978. He later went on to work for Usco Distribution Services in North Kansas City, Missouri and was a member of Teamsters Local 41. Ricky enjoyed collecting things such as coins, stamps, miniature spoons, guns, and guitars. His daughters will always cherish his memory and his assortment of trinkets.
Ricky is preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Bonnie L. Elliott; one brother, Edward David Elliott; and one sister, Tina M. Harmon. He is survived by his daughters, Katie Elliott and Charlotte Elliott; sons, Randy and Ronald Austin; and one brother, Roy Joe Elliott.
A funeral service will be conducted in Ricky's honor at 3:00 PM on Friday, October 5, 2018. A visitation will be held one hour prior starting at 2:00 PM at Church-Archer-Pasley Funeral Home, 119 East Franklin Street, Liberty, Missouri.
