Ricky Glen Langford

Ricky Glen Langford, age 73, of Edgewood, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026.

Ricky was born on November 11, 1952, in Wills Point, Texas, to John Henry and Gladys Dixon Langford. He graduated from Wills Point High School and spent his life working hard and providing for the family he loved so dearly. Over the years, Ricky worked as a cattle rancher, owned a sand and gravel business, became an ironworker, and later retired from Ingersoll Rand Drilling Solutions.

In 1981, Ricky married the love of his life, Teresa Joan “Joanie” Langford. Together they built a life centered around family and raised two children, Corey Smith and Jessica Epperson.

Ricky enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. In his younger years, he loved ranching and working cattle, as well as hunting and fishing. After retirement, he stayed busy with his hobby of drilling water wells, spending time with his grandchildren, and “piddling around the house.” He also loved relaxing with a good western and, most of all, spending time with Joanie and his family.

Ricky was preceded in death by his parents, John Henry and Gladys Langford; his brothers, Benny Don and Ed Langford; and his sister, Shirley Shaw.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joanie; his children, Corey Smith and Jessica Epperson and husband Brandon Epperson; his grandchildren, Trey Smith, Collin Smith, Graham Epperson, and Miles Epperson; and his sister, Pat Hooten and his twin sister, Vicky Lux, along with many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

A celebration of Ricky’s life will be held on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 11:00 am at the Funeral home in Wills Point.  Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.
