It is with great sadness that the family of Ricky Lynn Shepherd announces his passing on November 29, 2021 at Warren Memorial Hospital at the age of 59.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, December 8 at 2:00 p.m. at Maddox Funeral Home with Sammy Campbell officiating.
Ricky is the son of the late Lynn Richardson Shepherd and the late Virgie Mae Owens Shepherd. Ricky was born November 12, 1962 in Fauquier County.
He will be lovingly remembered by his brother, Tony Russell Shepherd; sisters, Joy Lee Shumate and Lisa Faye Shepherd; five nieces; three nephews; one aunt; one uncle; an abundance of great-nieces and nephews, great-great-nieces and nephews; many cousins; his CB buddies; and friends.
Ricky had a passion for playing the guitar and singing. You could find him chatting on the CB with his buddies, which he highly enjoyed.
Ricky had a very special dog, “Tiny”, who was his baby and that he loved dearly.
Ricky will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him, but he leaves great memories with each of us.
Forever with us in our hearts, your family.
