Rickey Bond

Born November 8, 1957, Rickey was the son of Carl David and Mary Pauline (Mayfield) Bond. Growing up, he attended school in Hamlin and McCaullley. Rickey married the love of his life, Jana Lynn Jeffrey, on April 15, 1977, in Hamlin. He worked as an oil field tech for many years. A friend to many people, Ricky was a hard worker, and a jack-of-all-trades. An avid outdoorsman, Rickey enjoyed hunting, fishing, and target shooting. In his spare time, he loved to watch crime and nature shows on TV. Rickey and Jana lived on a farm twelve miles south of Hamlin, that Rickey affectionately called "The Ranch," where Rickey loved to gather his friends and family for BBQing. Above all, Rickey was a family man, who loved spending time with his children and grandchildren.
