Richard Allen Bisig

It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Richard Allen “Ricky” Bisig, age 68, of Louisville Kentucky, on July 21, 2025. Ricky was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, whose life was a testament to loyalty, laughter, and love for the open road.

Born on May 8, 1957, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Theodore “Pete” Bisig and Mildred Cox Bisig, Ricky lived life with a fierce independence and an unmatched devotion to those he loved. He was a beloved husband to Juanita Jones Bisig, and a proud father to Leslie Bisig and Richie Bisig. His Legacy continues through his grandchildren – Brendan Johnson (Morgan), Jasmine Johnson (Terrence), Logan Johnson, Liam Smith, and Dahlia Smith – and his great grandchildren Roman Wirth and Charlie Johnson, all of whom were his greatest source of pride and joy.

Ricky was a cherished brother to Theodore “Teddy” Bisig (Teri), Kenny Bisig (Jody), Cathy Harlan (Ricky) and Paula Quertermous (Bruce). He also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of lifelong friends who will deeply miss his steady presence, sharp humor, and kind heart.

A lifelong motorcycle enthusiast and skilled automobile mechanic, Ricky found peace and freedom on the road. Whether he was turning a wrench or taking a long ride, he did it with a passion that was as steady as his love for his family. To know Ricky was to know someone loyal, genuine, and grounded – a man who worked with his hands, loved with his whole heart, and never knew a stranger.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Ricky’s life at Arch L Heady – Cralle Funeral Home, located at 2428 Frankfort Ave, Louisville KY 40206. Visitation will be Sunday August 3rd from 1 PM to 8 PM, and service will be Monday August 4th at 10 AM with burial to follow at Cave Hill Cemetery, 701 Baxter Ave, Louisville, KY 40204.

Ricky’s legacy lives on in the family he loved and the engines he brought back to life.

“Ride free Ricky, the road is yours now.”
