It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Timothy Jack Ricks, a beloved father, grandfather, and friend, who passed away peacefully at home after a long battle with cancer at the age of 69. Tim was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but spent his later years as a resident of Walker. He lived a life filled with laughter and friendship.
Tim was a proud graduate of Glen Oaks High School, where he distinguished himself in both track and football.
For 25 years, Tim owned and operated a successful moving and storage company, a testament to his hard work and entrepreneurial spirit. His talents extended beyond the business realm—Tim was excellent at refurbishing furniture and antiques. Truly a true jack of all trades! His recent role as constable in Livingston Parish was a reflection of his love for the area he called home.
Tim was a man who lived life to the fullest. Known for his vibrant personality and his gift for storytelling, he could captivate any audience with his tales and talk for hours. His interest in others and the world around him meant he never met a stranger.
The loss of Tim leaves a void in the hearts of his many friends and loved ones. His spirit and legacy will live on in the countless memories and stories he shared with those fortunate enough to have known him. He will be greatly missed but fondly remembered.
He was a loving father to Timothy Jason Ricks, Ashley Perez (Corky Perez), and Jinger Morgan (Calen Morgan). His greatest joy came from his role as a grandfather, and he delighted in spending time with his grandchildren: Haylee Ricks, Evan Perez, Owen Perez, Drew Perez, Ruby Morgan, and Asher Morgan.
Tim is also survived by his sister, Jennifer Ricks, his nephew Matthew Carlisle (Mandy Carlisle), his niece Angela Corletta (Herman Corletta), and his ex-wife, Teri Parsons, and his life partner Connie Johnson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Ruby Ricks, and his grandson, Cameron Morgan.
Visitation will be held at Rabenhorst East, 11000 Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge, LA on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm and Friday, Sept. 20, 2024 from 9:00 to 11:00 am.
