Ricky Lee Hill, lovingly known to those who cherished him, was born on October 22, 1962, in Lawrenceville, Georgia. He passed away on March 3, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, creativity, and unwavering love for his family and friends.

Ricky was known fondly among his loved ones as the “Jack of all trades, Master of None.” Ricky was the first Hill grandchild, and he never once disappointed the honor that came with that title.  His crafty spirit and inventive nature shone brightly in everything he set his hands to. From drawing intricate designs to creating beautiful jewelry, he filled his life with artistry that reflected his personality. With a Bible always in hand, Ricky was a devoted man of faith, taking solace in the words of scripture and often sharing them with those around him. His love for Gospel music echoed through his life, and he derived immense joy from singing along, uplifting the spirits of those nearby. 

He was a devoted family man and took great pride in the time he spent with his loved ones. Each moment spent with his children, daughter Jessica Denise Williams and TJ,  and son Justin Lee Smith, was a treasured opportunity for connection and joy. Ricky's legacy continues through his grandchildren, Allie May Williams, age 15, Thomas Hank Williams, age 9, and Connor Bryson Hunt, age 7, who will carry forward the memories of his laughter and love. He is also survived by his mother, Lorene Hill, and siblings Mark Hill (Tammy), Garry Hill (Paula), and Robert Dusty Hill, alongside several nieces and nephews who will miss his gentle presence. Also, his love for Angela carries on in the hearts of his children. 

Though Ricky has joined his father, Bobby Lee Hill, and his sisters, Connie Faye Hill and Cynthia Lorene Hill, and brother Bobby Jr.  in eternal rest, his memory will forever resonate within the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Ricky Lee Hill was a lover of life, a craftsman, a musician, and most importantly, a devoted family man whose spirit will continue to inspire and guide those left behind. His light may have dimmed, but the love he so freely gave will shine on, illuminating the lives of his family and friends for years to come.

A special note from his daughter Jessica : Romans 3:23 For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Acts 8:7 He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. ** none of us are perfect, and we’re ALL worth the Lords saving grace! God loves YOU, he loves daddy, and he loves me. (I love the Lord, because He first loved me)
