Ricci L. Barton was born on March 1, 1954 near Dallas. He was taken from this life on March 17, 2024 at the age of 70. He was killed in a traffic accident near Tulsa.

Ricci and his family lived in many places around the mid and southwest states. This was because of his father’s work as a civil engineer on dam projects. That is also what brought the family to Brookville, 1970. Rick’s dad was brought to Brookville to be project engineer on the Brookville Lake. Ricci graduated from Brookville High School in 1972. Rick continued to move around with construction and worked for the CAT dealer in Tulsa for many years. He finally retired in Tulsa as he always considered Oklahoma his home.

He was preceded in death by his parents Bueford and Billie Barton, an infant daughter and a great-niece, Lori Barton. He is survived by his daughter DeAnn Barton, grandchildren Dallas, Tyler, and Sierra and two great-grandsons. They all live in Florida along with his former wife Charlene Byrd Adams. Also surviving are a brother, Bobby (Pam) Barton and a nephew Jesse Barton of Brookville. A sister Libbi (Tom) Felty and her family of Tulsa. and his girlfriend Renea Harris, also of Tulsa.
