Otis Richard Chappell, Owensboro, KY — Otis Richard Chappell, known to his friends and family as Ricky or Rex, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 2nd, 2024, due to a heart attack. His sudden departure has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew him.
Ricky was a vibrant presence, always the life of the party, bringing joy and laughter to everyone around him. His infectious personality and warmth will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. As an unmarried man with no children, the responsibility of his final arrangements has fallen on his elderly siblings, who are all on limited incomes. Ricky, who was on disability, did not have life insurance, leaving the family unprepared for the financial burden of funeral expenses.
To help cover the costs of his funeral, a fundraiser has been organized by his sister, Shelly Wilkerson, titled "Rally for Ricky: Funeral Fund for His Family." As of now, $170 has been raised from generous donations made by Samuel Thrasher, adrienne baldonado, and Tiffani Wilson.
In her post, Shelly expressed heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of support: "We are reaching out to friends, family, and the community to help us provide Ricky with a proper service and allow his loved ones to say their goodbyes without the added stress of financial strain. Your contributions, no matter how small, will make a difference and are deeply appreciated."
The community continues to show their love and support during this difficult time, with many sharing their condolences on social media. Among the messages of sympathy, Samuel Thrasher, adrienne baldonado, and Tiffani Wilson have made generous contributions to the fundraiser.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Otis Richard Chappell’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
