Ricky married Sally Lewis on March 23, 1991, in Desoto, TX. Growing up, Ricky’s Dad moved the family around every few months building microwave towers all over the United States. Following in his Dad’s footsteps, Ricky went into the construction industry and became a foreman in Dallas building several office spaces, parking garages and many houses. He started Turner Trailer Sales and Turner Auto Sales in 1997, in which he owned and operated for 20 years. Ricky was also a Deacon in his church. He ministered to inmates and at psychiatric hospitals, driving one and a half hours to the prison in Palestine to preach and minister. Ricky and Sally went to the psychiatric hospital almost every Sunday night to speak with children and adults for seven years. He was a loving grandpa to his twelve grandchildren, being present at all of their births and teaching them to ride dirt bikes and four wheelers and how to fix them.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Frances Turner and brother, Billy Turner.
