 Ricky Jay Waltman, 64, passed away at St. Luke’s in Meridian, Idaho on Sunday January 17, 2021.  Rick was born to Jim and Gene Wallace on December 27, 1964 in Nampa, Idaho where he was raised.

 Ricky received his education in Nampa where he graduated high school.  Rick was in the Marines.  He attended college where he received many certificates to learn and become a mechanic.  Rick loved being a mechanic and he made a career doing what he loved.  He worked for Commercial Tire for many years and adventured out to have his own shop a couple of times.  Rick was known for his gift of building motors.  He could build a motor for stock or high performance.

 Rick enjoyed the outdoors.  He enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, hunting, golf, BBQ’s, horseback riding and ATV’s.  In his later years he loved to go with Annie to Crouch, Idaho where they went on many adventures.

 In a prior marriage, Rick was blessed with his beautiful daughter, Bree, his only child.  After meeting his love, Annie Trees, they got married in Sweet, Idaho. Rick’s family grew by adding two stepdaughters.  Rick and Annie were married for 17 years during which time they had many adventures together.  They both enjoyed the same things.

 Rick could be strong headed, but he will be remembered by his smile, his willingness to help anyone who needed it, his stories and his all-so famous saying, “get er done”.
