For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: Whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

Ricky Dean McCorcle
ODESSA — Our beloved son, Ricky Dean McCorcle, was called home by Jesus to be with his Grandma Betty and PaPa on Thursday, July 25, 2002. We were truly blessed to have known such a wonderful and kindhearted young man. With him he takes our hearts and prayers and our lives will never be the same.
Ricky was born Sept. 21, 1976, in Odessa. With his red, curly hair, both his mom and myself knew we had a special boy. Ricky always tried so very hard to do the right, honorable thing, never considering himself. He had a special love for his family and was always quick to say “I love you.” Ricky was a talented writer, could fix anything and was a great cook. There is not enough time or words to say what a wonderful son he has been.
He left behind his mother, Carolyn; father, Harley; his brother, Scott; Grandpa Jack Gaines and Nanny Artie Jarrett; along with many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Thank you for loaning us your angel, God, Ricky Dean McCorcle.
Services will be at 4 p.m. today at First Church of the Nazarene with the Rev. Terry Pierce officiating.
