Ricky Busick

Ricky Dale Busick, 65, of Asheboro, died unexpectedly on Friday, October 6, 2023.

Ricky grew up in Browns Summit, NC, but made Asheboro his home when he met his wife, Barbara. He started his own business, "A Cut Above Landscape" in 1991. He continued to work until health issues forced him to retire. Growing up he farmed and raised tobacco. Ricky loved being outdoors. He even had beehives for a few years. He loved cooking his neighborhood BBQ's, and he could make a delicious red velvet cake and loved Duke basketball games.

Ricky never met a stranger and he loved to talk to people and help them in any way he could. He had a kind and gentle heart. He attended C4 Church in Asheboro. Health issues kept him at home many times, but he loved Jesus and continued to read his Bible faithfully, every day.

Ricky was preceded in death by his parents, Dan and Ruby; and brothers, Ronnie and "Teet".

He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and would have celebrated 32 years together on October 15th. Also surviving are his sons, Ricky Busick II (Shirley) of Asheboro, Josh Busick (Amber) of Burlington; daughter, Tracy Scott (Doug) of Randleman; 4 granddaughters, Audrey, Avery, Rylee and Sabrina; sisters, Brenda, Janie and Sharon; brother, Mark; and sister-in-law, Judy (Ron).

Ricky will be dearly missed by his family, but now he is truly at peace and his struggles are over.

Graveside services will be conducted at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 11, 2023, at New Hope Memorial Gardens, with Pastor Ed Arroyo officiating.

Memorials may be made to C4 Church, P.O. Box 1536, Asheboro, NC 27204; or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-9959.
