Rickie Lee Earl

March 4, 1953 - October 9, 2020

Rickie Lee Earl (Ickie) passed away October 9th, 2020 at his family home in Parma, Ohio. Born and raised in Brookpark, Ohio. The son of the late Leo Elden Earl and the late Irene Earl of Brookpark, Ohio. A brother to the late Wanda Jane Earl of Vidor, Texas and Mollie Bee Sarver (Mark) of Vidor, Texas. A very good father to Rickie James Earl and Lee Ann Earl (Michael). A grandfather to Ryan Ashley, Kory, Jordan and Nathan. A puppy papa to Toby and Finn. An ex-husband to Ann. A dotting and fiercely loyal husband to Luijoy Padriquilaga. He was the biggest rock star of Ohio …. nah… just kidding... he was our rock though. He loved his music until the end. Passionate about his band. A true rock and roll man to the core. A jack of all trades, from being a truck driver, to a press man, a delivery man, to a small businessman, he lived and loved it all. He loved traveling to every nook and cranny of Ohio, to the hills of South Dakota, the many falls of New York, the white beaches of Florida and the Carolinas, and he conquered his fear of flying to see the thousand islands of the Philippines. He built a band from the ground up and gigged all over town with his best friend Rich. Those were the happiest days of his life. The icing of the cake was his music, as long as he was playing bass with the rest of the crew, he was most happy. So long and farewell Ickie and keep on rocking wherever you are. You left a void in our hearts that can never be replaced. Thank you for the laughter shared, the music played, the friendship treasured, the happiness provided and the unconditional love given. I love you, Honey.
