Left to cherish his memory are his remaining siblings, Charlie Dowdy, Regina Patrick and Ronnie Dowdy. Also surviving are his uncle John (Jean) Flowers and his aunt Annie (Doug) Moore. Ricky leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews that will miss him dearly. Among these was the niece that was like a daughter to him, Katina Ijames. Also left to mourn his passing is the niece that he “loved best”, his “Baby Tasha”, Latasha Pegues.
