Ricky Allen Beebe, 74, passed away on November 1, 2026. Born on April 23, 1952, to the late Billy L. Beebe and Dorothy Boice Beebe, Ricky was a lifelong resident and a 1971 graduate of Marietta High School. Following his education, he answered the call to serve his country with dedication as a member of the Army National Guard.

Ricky was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He shared a wonderful life with his loving wife, Barbara Beebe, building a close-knit, and blended family that brought immense joy and pride to his days. Known to all as a master storyteller, Ricky could light up a room with his tales and laughter. Whether he was spending his time outdoors fishing and camping or tending to his garden, he lived life with a deep appreciation for the simple things.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Billy and Dorothy, and his brother and best friend, Steven Beebe.

Ricky is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara; his two daughters, Amy Hesson (husband Josh) and Amanda Smith (husband Rob); and his three stepsons, Adam Bartlett (wife Holli), Scott Bartlett (wife Stephanie), and Andy Bartlett (wife Ashley). He is also survived by his siblings: brothers Billy Beebe, Randy Beebe, David Beebe, and sister Tammy Beebe. Ricky was a proud and doting grandfather to his many grandchildren: Olivia, Grant, Steven, Lane, Wade, Haylee, Abbie, Easton, Olivia, Christian, Emma, and Mia, who will all miss him dearly.

Ricky’s legacy of love, family, and storytelling will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.

In accordance with his wishes, Ricky will be cremated, and no formal services will be held. Chandler Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 609 West Street, Caldwell, OH 43724 has been entrusted to care for the family.
