RICHARD 'RICKY' VERRETTE

March 4, 1950-April 12, 2017
Richard “Ricky” Verrette, 67, a native and lifelong resident of Morgan City, was unexpectedly called to his heavenly home on Wednesday, April 12, 2017.
A businessman, Ricky was the proud founder, owner and operator of Tri City Custom Sheet Metal of Morgan City. Though he was a hard worker, to Ricky, family came first. He was the kind of father and grandfather who would never miss a family event. Each barrel race, softball, baseball, volleyball and football game was attended by Ricky.
In his spare time, Ricky enjoyed hunting, fishing and cooking on the grill. A season ticket-holder, Ricky was a proud fan of LSU Football and could always be seen wearing an LSU cap. A wonderful father, grandfather and friend, Ricky was the kind of person who would do anything for another. His presence will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Ricky leaves to cherish his wonderful memory his daughter, Becky Fontenot and her husband, Jeff; three grandchildren, Jesse, Haley and Tate Fontenot; and two siblings, Micky Carmouche and his wife, Barbara, and Darrel Carmouche.
Ricky was preceded in death by his mother, Enola Verrette; his grandmother, Stella Verrette; and his grandfather, Leonard “Leon” Verrette.
