Ricky Lynn Purifoy, 49, went to be with the Lord on April 2, 2023.  He was born on March 28, 1974, to Richard and Cindy Purifoy in Camden, AR.  Ricky was proud to work as a Manufacturing Engineer at Lockheed Martin and to serve as a volunteer fireman at the Elliott Fire Department. He was a member of Cullendale First Baptist Church. He loved hunting, fishing, cruising around Lake Greeson, livestock shows and "piddling" around the house.  Each Monday, Ricky could be found watching Street Outlaws and any racing show.  Ricky never met a stranger and would give the shirt off his back to anyone he met.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Lynn and Bettie Purifoy, maternal grandparents, Dewey and Maylene Hodge, and brother-n-law, Geoffrey Jeffress.  He is survived by his wife, Terra Purifoy, two daughters, Neely Purifoy and Ainsley Purifoy, all of Louann, AR; parents, Richard and Cindy Purifoy of Camden, AR; brother Dewey Purifoy and wife, Pam of Camden, AR; brother-n-law Justin Jeffress and wife, Amy of Camden, AR; many nieces and nephews and a host of family and friends.

Thursday April 6, 2023, a visitation will be held prior to the service from 4:30 - 5:30 PM, with the service beginning at 5:30 PM at Cullendale First Baptist Church.  A graveside service will follow at Sulphur Springs Cemetery on Mount Holly Road.

Ricky was a loyal supporter of Arkansas FFA.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to El Dorado FFA in care of El Dorado School District, 2000 Wildcat Drive, El Dorado, AR 71730.
