Dewayne Eugene Ricks, 47, of Zanesville, Ohio, formerly of Texas, passed away Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at Genesis Hospital. Dewayne was born August 14, 1974 in Houston, Texas, the son of Lonnie G. and Sandra R. (Winslow) Ricks. Dewayne is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jennifer Marie Ricks; grandparents, Leighton and Effie Lou Ricks and Don and Geneva Winslow; and a close friend, Chris Fagan.
In addition to his parents, Lonnie and Sandra Ricks, Dewayne also leaves to cherish his memory, his children, Hailee Alexis Marie Ricks and Kody Eugene Ricks; siblings, Kathy Ricks, Tim (Kimberly) Ricks and Gean Ricks; nieces and nephew, Logan Wise, Cassie Wise, McKayla Wise and Paige Taylor; brother-in-law, Jerimiah (Tiffany) Taylor; and numerous friends and other relatives.
Dewayne was an electrician by trade, and he loved his work. In his free time, Dewayne enjoyed fishing, hunting, or any activity that got him outdoors. Dewayne was proud of his barbequing skills, especially his ribs, which may or may not have rivaled that of his brother Tim's. Most of all, Dewayne loved his family and the time spent with them. He will be deeply missed.
