IN MEMORYOF RICK HOLCOMB

After a courageous battle against ALS, James Rickey Holcomb at the age of 55 left this earth to be with the Lord on Thursday January 18, 2018 at 1:11 PM. His final days were surrounded by the love of family and friends at home.

Rick is lovingly remembered by his wife Amanda Lynn (Snyder); son Lance Austin; and brother, sisters, and in-laws Mike and Nancie Holcomb, Marian and Mike Rainer, Debbie and Scott Donald, Donna and Jeff Trowbridge, Teresa Green, Tammie and Ted Dawson; Lance's mother Marion Holcomb; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends. Appreciation to Amanda's parents Lynette and Jim Snyder for their love, care and support of Rick and his family.

Rick is preceded in death by his parents Thomas Marion Holcomb and Edna "Jean" Holcomb (Andrews).

Rick's father was in the military, therefore the family moved to many of the base locations. Rick was born in Canton, GA, and spent most of his childhood in Bossier City, LA- Barksdale Air Force Base. He graduated from Bossier High School in 1980 and went on to college and career pursuits. Rick had a successful career as an entrepreneur and consultant in oil and gas. In addition, he had interest in automotive sales, real estate development, and healthcare. Rick loved his work and the challenge, competition and reward associated; he never stopped working.

He loved his time with his family and friends, music, travel, sports, and reading. He especially loved any associated activities with Lance and Amanda. With a strong Christian focus, Rick loved life to the fullest and was always trying to bring laughter and hope to others, which he will continue through the memories he has left and the foundation he and Amanda created- A Love Story foundation.

There will be two celebrations of Rick's wonderful life. A celebration service will be held in Louisiana on January 27th at 11 AM at the First Baptist Church of Haughton, 105 E. Washington Ave., Haughton, LA. A celebration open house reception will be held in Tulsa, OK on February 2nd from 7-9 PM at the Stokely Event Center, 10111 E. 45th Place, Tulsa, OK.
