Ricky Pitts-Krisher born on November 30, 1956, and called home on October 22, 2025, in Buffalo, New York. Ricky was the beloved child of Oscar Krisher and Paloma Rosa Pitts, and the proud parent of Shannon Krisher.

Ricky was known for his quick wit, infectious laughter, and love of life. He had a talent for drawing, a skill for cooking, and a passion for reading. He was also quite the fisherman, always regaling friends and family with tales of the big one that got away.

Ricky is survived by his mother Paloma, brother Shamar, daughter Shannon and a host of dear cousins, nephews and nieces who he all deeply loved and cared for.

Ricky's studied at Bennett High School and although did not finish, he was able to accomplish his many of his dreams and carve out a path he saw fit. Rick served as a Private First Class in the Army for some time before eventually working as a Site Manager at Tops Warehouse.

Ricky was truly a man who loved to live. He would always tell people life's too short to fish with a small hook. He belived very much in aiming big.
