Ricky Lee Chaney was born in Breckenridge, Texas, on September 1, 1956, to Booter and Patsy Chaney. Ricky lived in Breckenridge his whole life, where he built his own successful plumbing business, Ricky Chaney Plumbing. He was a lifetime Buckaroo and was mean green through and through. He loved Breckenridge and his Bucks! On December 31, 2018, he married Virginia Moreno during a beautiful New Year’s Eve celebration in Fort Worth. Ricky loved life to its fullest and enjoyed the small things. He barely missed a Wednesday night poker game with his friends that were so special to him. He loved hunting, fishing, and playing golf. Ricky was always there to lend a helping hand to people in need and was always positive and had a smile on his face. He always had time for friends and family, no event was too big or too small. You could count on Ricky to speak his mind and he wouldn’t sugar coat his opinion. In November, Ricky was diagnosed with cancer. With Ginia never leaving his side, he fought a long hard battle. He passed peacefully surrounded by people who loved him, with his wife Ginia and daughter Misty holding his hands.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Booter and Patsy Chaney; one sister, Diane Sikes; one sister-in-law, Kay Chaney; one brother-in-law, Johnny Diaz.
Ricky leaves behind his wife, Virginia Chaney of Breckenridge; his daughter, Misty Brady and husband CJ of Fort Worth; three sons, Tyler Moreno, Cory Moreno, and Logan Moreno and wife Adrian; his grandchildren, Harper Lee Brady, Dillion Moreno, Aydan Moreno, Landon Moreno and Camdyn Moreno; two brothers, Calvin Chaney and Marvin Chaney, both of Breckenridge; one sister, Trudy Diaz of Fort Worth; his aunt, Sue Chaney; and numerous nieces and nephews.
