Rickey Landry

Rickey Dean Landry, affectionately known as "Rookie," passed away peacefully on August 21, 2025, at the age of 65. Born on September 1, 1959, in Jennings, Louisiana, Rickey spent his life dedicated to his family, his work, and his love of the great outdoors.

A beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Rickey cherished time spent with his family, particularly his grandchildren, who brought him immeasurable joy. Rickey was known for his many talents and his deep love for nature. An avid duck hunter and fisherman, he found peace in the stillness of the water and the thrill of the hunt. He also took great pride in tending to his garden and yard, where he found solace and satisfaction in nurturing the beauty of the earth. He spent most of his career as a heavy equipment operator, in which he enjoyed. 

He leaves behind his devoted wife, Cindy Landry; his sons, Ryan (Jennifer) Landry and Josh (Michelle) Landry, and his daughter, Candy Benoit. He is also survived by his brother, Anthony (Cheryl) Landry, and sister-in-law, Peggy Landry; his grandchildren, Kolbi, Abbi, Hannah-Claire, Ian, Katelyn, Judson, Dani, Robert Jordan, Jordan, McKenzie and Landon; and his great grandchildren, Dalton, Dax, Ellorie, Micah, Leo, Annie, Audrey, Finley and Grayson; along with many cherished relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.
