He is survived by his mother;  Judy Painter; brothers, Eddie Painter, Sandy Painter, Michael Painter and Doug Hodges; daughter, Kristen Lavinder; and two grandsons, Roman Jack and Vance Alan Lavinder; niece, Taylor Painter and boyfriend, Chad Dailey; uncle, Steve See and wife, Connie; loving cousins,  Kelli Hartman, and Rachel Spencer, including several other loved cousins.  His loving former wife, Jan Galyon; and several other loved family and friends. 

There will be a Ride for Ricky through Roanoke followed by a celebration of life announced at a later date.
