Ric L. Baccus was born on December 7, 1956 in Monroe, Louisiana to Coy and Neita Baccus.

Ric spent his formative years in all areas of the world because of his father’s work in the oil industry. These experiences are what influenced his love of travel and cuisine.

They finally settled back in the US during Ric’s 9th grade years. Ric graduated from Midland High School. He “dabbled” in college but chose a career in the oilfield. He went to work for Dawson Geophysical and worked there for 30 plus years.

Ric always served the Lord. He was a drummer for First Baptist Church and then was part of the church plant of Stonegate Fellowship. He was their first drummer.

Ric lived and loved life to the fullest. He had a deep love for Jesus and for his family. He loved to fish, sail photography, RC trucks/planes, reading, learning, serving God, music, drumming, teaching, and so much more.

Ric never met a stranger. He was loving to every person he encountered. He truly lived the commandment – Love your neighbor.
Ric married Stacy in July 2006. They recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. Ric loved Stacy with all his heart and was the most incredible husband and best friend to his wife.

In 2010, God put a longing in Ric and Stacy to serve their community. In January 2012 they founded Mission Agape. The mission is to show God’s love in action and to love and give unconditionally. God gave so many amazing gifts and talents to Ric. He accomplished many things but has also left behind many unfinished works. However, we have no doubt he’ll complete them from Heaven.

Although Ric is physically gone, his legacy will live eternally. We love you Ric. We’re going to miss you terribly, but we’ll see you soon.
Ric is survived by his wife Stacy, sons Jake and wife Kali Baccus, David and wife Melissa Baccus, Matthew and wife Danielle Cox, Ben Baccus and fiancée Katie. His grandchildren are Beckett, Everly, Sarah, Matthew, and surrogate grandchildren Mae and Creed Cockrell.

Celebration of Life is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Saturday, August 14, 2021 at Presence Church 901 Midland Drive, Midland, Texas 79703.
Arrangements are under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made at www.npwelch.com.

My condolences to Mar. Stacy and family. I met Stacy and Ric a few years back amazing loving people friends. Their love for the community is so precious. Ric you will be missed.

Stacy, we are so sorry for your loss. Rick was a fine man and will be missed. We are here for you every step of the way. May the God of all comfort hold you up in this time of sorrow.

My condolences to the Cox-Baccus family. May God grant you peace.

Keeping you in my prayers. Ric will be missed so much.

Ric always had great advice and had a knack for helping me put my mind at ease about a lot of my worldly worries. As my medical issues started to make their unwelcome appearance , Ric and Stacy, the welcome team and so many members of the church were there for me. But, Ric probably took me to 70% of my appointments . Every week he would be able to pick something out about me that showed improvement . We would talk about all our interests and started making plans to do stuff once I got better. RC cars, baseball games , going to racetracks , playing video games . He even got into a racing game that I’m still horrible at. Ric helped me find healthy distractions from my pain and circumstances. One of the things I’ll never forget . Is how he would be up really early like 4:00am/ 5:00am and I would wake up in searing pain and text him. The pain wouldn’t let me go back to sleep and else’s talk about all our new common interests . Ric brought me a lot of happiness and wisdom. I’ll love and miss him forever .

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ric was a friend that everyone would love to have. His smile was contagious and he could lite up every room. It was so evident how much he loved Jesus. His tone of voice and conversations will be missed, always!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
