Ricky Forrest Powers, age 67, passed away January 29th, 2025, at Riverwood hospital in Aitkin, surrounded by his family. Ricky was Born May 5th, 1957 in Cook to Robert and Mary (Gilbert) Powers.

He had many occupations over the years, but his favorite was watching over his grandchildren.

Ricky was a loving and proud father and grandfather who enjoyed spending time with family and close friends especially when it involved being in nature.

Ricky can always be remembered sitting outside in a lawn chair watching over his garden or near the waters edge with a fishing pole in hand. Ricky, “Bompa,” loved getting the chance to teach his grandchildren about the outdoors and was always asking “have you been fishin’” when family visited.

Ricky is preceded in death by his parents, Robert Powers; Albert and Mary Benson; Son Jeremy Powers

Ricky is survived by his three children, Travis (Staci); Jake (Ashley); and Stacy. Eight grandchildren Jordan(Logan); Riley(Amber); Wyatt(Brooke); Morgan; Dane; Kaylee; Arianna; and Aubree.
