RICKIE EUGENE KINNEY

Rickie Eugene Kinney passed away on Sunday, April 14, 2019 at home in Indianola, Iowa at the age of 67. Rickie was born on March 30, 1952 to Jimmie and Delores Kinney in Park Rapids, Minnesota.

Rickie was a fan of Kings Corner, the card game, even though he may have cheated a time or two. He was also a huge fan of WWF. He would watch WWE but WWF was the real deal and John Cena was his favorite wrestler. He had a passion for driving truck and always talked of all the places he had been and things he had seen. He called his granddaughter "Dennis the Mennis" which was rightfully earned. He had a love for making people laugh and joking about most anything. Most of all he loved his children and grandchildren they were his world.

"A leopard can change his spots and Rickie was living proof of that."
