Oh how my heart is heavy and saddened as I miss my brother every day. He was such a strong, independent man. He lived and adored his daughter, Carrie. He loved his wife, Angie Messer Teague, faithfully. Ricky worked so hard in the heat and cold to provide for his family. He grew up Farming with his grandparents, Lee and Zeomia Rich, on Rich Cove Road in Maggie Valley. Love of the outdoors and mountain life followed him his life. An avid outdoorsman who loved to dig ramps and ginseng, and lived fishing. One of many legacies is the overseeing of the sidewalks built and Maggie Valley North Carolina. He also left many rock walls and rock flower gardens around the area. Ricky was very skilled with his masonry. He had three sisters , Angie ( Angela) Teague, Deneen Gibson Cody, Christy Gibson Cody. We all miss him so dearly. His mother, Dorothy Rich Teague Gibson was very close to Ricky and thought of him as the apple of her eye and her only son who was the man in her life. She will forever be heartbroken . Ricky was a very very special man with a stubborn streak, yet loving and compassionate. He was an icon of Maggie Valley during the 60s 70s 80s 90s and mid 2,000s. For anyone who never met him or knew him, I sure you you missed out on something very special. My heart aches for you every day my big brother, and I know that you are living with the Lord in heaven with granny and daddy Rich and your stepson Browdy. When I see you again, I'll say all the things I wish I had. Rest in the Lords arms brother. Love from your sister, Angie
