Ricky Steven Rose, Sr.

Ricky Rose, Sr., age 67, of Charlotte, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 31, 2025.

Ricky was a good man—steadfast, kind, and deeply devoted to those he loved. Known for his giving spirit and quiet strength, he was the kind of person who would lend a hand without being asked and could fix just about anything. Whether wandering in the yard or working in his garden, Ricky found joy in the simple things and purpose in caring for others.

He cherished his family above all else and lived his life with humility, hard work, and heart. In the words of his beloved wife, he was “the best human being you'd ever meet.”

His presence will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
