Ricky Frizzell

Ricky Frizzell, passed away on July 23, 2026, at the age of 73 in Houston, MS. Born on April 28, 1953, Ricky lived a life marked by service, dedication, and love for his family in Banner, MS.

A graduate of Charleston High School's Class of 1971, Ricky served his country honorably in the Navy during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he continued to serve his community, first as a police officer with the Bruce Police Department for eight years, and later as a Deputy Sheriff at the Tallahatchie Sheriff's Department for a decade. He found fulfillment in his career as a mechanic, ultimately retiring from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, where his skills and work ethic were widely respected.

Ricky was also a committed member of the National Guard, serving for 20 years as a sergeant. This dedication and sense of duty defined him, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Beyond his professional achievements, Ricky cherished the time spent with his family, his sons, Brian and David Frizzell, and his grandchildren, Macey Bean and Cary Onna Baker. He enjoyed family gatherings and, in his leisure time, found joy in playing at the casino.
