Ricky Thomas Losch Sr.

Ricky Thomas Losch, Sr., 69, of Byhalia, MS passed away on May 27, 2026. Ricky was born on February 18, 1957, in New Albany, IN to the late Howard Thomas Losch and Jewelene Noel Glover. He worked for Wit-Con for 9 years and established some close friendships during his time there, especially: Warren Good, Neil Weatherford, and Marty Martin. He was very passionate about racing. He raced for many years at Riverside International Speedway. In his free time, he enjoyed tending to his flowerbeds, watching the hummingbirds, and listening to his windchimes. He was obsessed with cutting his grass; there would be no tall or short grass left behind. He loved the fact that he had a personal pond to stock and fish out of. Grilling out for his family was also something he enjoyed and was proud to show off his grilled onion rings. He was also the self-proclaimed inventor of taking selfies. Ricky will be remembered for his sometimes-dark sense of humor and how he would tease people. His children will also remember his “daddyisms” which was when he would have his own words within words. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Sallie Losch. Ricky is survived by four children: Lisa Roszak (James), Michelle Scarberry, Melissa Gray (Casey), Ricky Thomas Losch, Jr. (Ashleigh); bonus daughter, Jennifer Jantzen (Mark) 8 grandchildren: Jessica Romines, Trevor Romines (Katy), Brittni Butler(Matthew), Ethan Butler, Ryan Scarberry, Laynie Gray, Austin Joyner, Saylior Gray; four great-grandchildren: Braxton, Brooklin, Skylar, and Maximus; 2 sisters, Debbie Day-Renn (Joe) and Brigitte Patterson; best friend, Shirley Tidwell his fur babies, Fuzzy and Duke; and a host of nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends for a time of visitation at Brantley Funeral Home on Sunday, May 31, 2026 from 1-4 pm.
