Posted by Lyndell Petty on Jan 31, 2022

Mr. Ricky Joe Ford of Elk Horn, son of the late Bobby Joe and Loretta (Wethington) Ford, passed from this life on Saturday, January 29, 2022 at the Norton Hospital in Louisville after an extended illness. Born in Taylor County on October 10, 1957, he was 64 years, 3 months, and 19 days of age. He had made a profession of faith in Christ and was of the Christian faith.

Mr. Ford was a man of many talents, most notably as a master mechanic. With the ability to do just about anything he set his mind to, he especially enjoyed rebuilding old cars. One of his many showpieces was a ’68 Torino, of which he was distinctly proud. Of his many accomplishments in life (including playing guitar for the country music band Blackhawk), his family and grandchildren were paramount. His sweet smile and genuine good nature will be dearly missed.

He leaves to cherish his memory:

His wife of 43 years: Carolyn (Callahan) Ford,

Two children: Ricky Joe Ford, Jr. and wife Shelly of Elk Horn, and David Ford and wife Krissie of Lebanon,

Six siblings: Bobby Dean Ford and wife Shelia, Tony Ford and wife Leshia, Branden Ford and wife Britany, Betty Brinkerhoff and husband Jim, Laura Ann Young, and Debra Saltsman and husband Larry,

Six grandchildren: Sarah, Drake, Kinzlee, Carson, Paislee, and Paiton Ford,

His stepmother: Geraldine Ford,

His mother-in-law and father-in-law: Eugene Bradley and Linda Callahan,

And a host of other family and friends.

There will be a funeral service to honor the life of Mr. Ford on Sunday, February 6, 2022 at 11:00 AM in the chapel of the L.R. Petty Funeral Home, 1765 New Columbia Rd, Campbellsville, KY. Bro. Billy Hoots will officiate. Burial will follow in the Callahan Cemetery on Speck Ridge Rd in Taylor County.
