Obituary - Ricky Lee Boone

Ricky Lee Boone, 66, of Peculiar, Missouri, passed away on Monday, September 15, 2025, at Belton Regional Medical Center. A visitation will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO, with graveside services immediately following at Orient Cemetery in Harrisonville, MO.

Rick was born on July 16, 1959, in Kansas City, MO, to Donald and Patricia Boone. His love for fast cars began at a young age, growing up around the race track. His fondest memories that he loved reminiscing on were watching his dad dirt track race at Riverside, Olympic and Lakeside. Rick began his lifelong career with Local 541 Heavy Construction Union working for companies like Commanche Construction, Reike Brothers, and Foley Company during his time as a Teamster.

Rick will be remembered for his love of family, especially his kids and grandchildren. At any family gathering, you could find him taste testing a piece of each flavor of pie, especially ones made with chocolate. You knew Rick really loved you if he would share his Reese’s peanut butter cups with you; they were his favorite. The only place he loved more than home with his family was the beach. He called it his happy place.

Rick is survived by his wife, Debbie Boone; mother, Patricia Boone; children: Rachel Blackmore of Raymore, MO; Travis Boone of Independence, MO; Sarah (John) Towle of Johnston, IA; and Sarah (David) Powell of Grain Valley MO; grandchildren: Dylan, Dalton, Dustin, Zoey, Brenton, Ricky, Presley, Jace, and Maddix. He is preceded in death by his father, Donald Boone.
