Ricky Alan Culver was born in Glendive, Montana in 1960 and moved around to various places, such as Sterling, Colorado; Harvey Lousiana, and many others. He graduated High School in 1978 from Gregory Portland in Corpus Christi, Texas. He then went to Texas A&I University in Kingsville, Texas and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Natural Gas Engineering and pursued a career with Parten Oil Company for 32 years in Madisonville, Texas. During his time at college, he met the love of his life, Sylvia Culver, in bowling class where she later “BEGGED” him to marry her, as he would tell the story. They have been happily married, most of the time (depending on the day, or even the hour) for 32 years. Rick enjoyed riding motorcycles with his brother and during his free time. He also enjoyed driving around town in his Chevy 56’ with his favorite dog, Grey. Above all, he loved spending time with his family and friends. Rick was an incredible husband, father, son, and friend to everyone he met. He never met a stranger and would talk to them for hours if he could. He will be missed beyond words by many.
