Billy was a farmer and a machinist in the metal fabrication industry. He proudly served his country in the United States Army.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his loving son and daughter, Bill and Christina Ricks of Carlisle AR, Sisters Patricia Sherrill and Jean Choate, granddaughters Alexzandra Milles, Nikole Treadaway and Emily Berg-Ricks, grandson/granddaughter, Michael and Stefanie Horseman Grandsons John Ricks, McKinley Ricks and three Great Grandchildren and a host of other relatives and Friends.
