Ricky was the son of Wesley & Nila (LeForce) Treece, born on January 24, 1956, in Riverside, California, where he grew up and attended schools. He moved to Oklahoma and went to work in the oilfields at age 16. He was employed by Joe Mills and later by St. Louis Well Service, and worked as a derrick hand for more than 40 years. He was married for 27 years to Sharon Curlee, until she passed away thirteen years ago. Ricky loved fishing, horseshoes, gardening, hanging out at casinos, and spending time with his dog, Dumb-Dumb. He will be sorely missed.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Wesley & Nila Treece, and his wife, Sharon Curlee Treece.

He is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Tara & Corey Zellner and Lisa & James Harber, all of Holdenville; four grandchildren: Brittany Zellner, Denton Zellner, Kilie Harber, and Jasper Harber; two great-grandchildren: Emmilou Davis and Eli Bakken; numerous family members including brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and others, along with many friends.
