Ricky Lee Elliott, 48

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ricky Lee Elliott, age 48, of New Tazewell, TN. He was born on January 21, 1975, and passed away on October 1, 2023.

To cherish his memory, Ricky leaves behind: two children, Jasmine Hensley (Thomas Neely) and Daniel Elliott; the mother of his children, Jessica Elliott; two grandchildren, Lilith and Layne Neely, as well as a host of siblings, aunts and special friend Kelly Woodard.

Ricky or J.R. or even Junior to some, lived a full life, which those who loved him got to experience through his wonderful storytelling. He was the best friend to everyone he knew, and he never met a stranger. We offer our condolences to everyone who had the opportunity to know him.

The family of Ricky Elliott will gather to celebrate his life at the American Legion in Middlesboro, KY, on Saturday, October 7, 2023, from 1:00p.m. until 3:00p.m.

The staff of Cawood Funeral Home, Middlesboro, KY, is honored to be of service to the family of Ricky Elliott.
