Ricky Dale Brown, 66, of Ravenden, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.Ricky was a man who felt most alive beneath open skies. He was an outdoorsman through and through — happiest sitting quietly in the woods at sunrise, surrounded by the stillness of nature. Hunting wasn’t just a pastime for him; it was a way of life and a place of peace. The outdoors was his sanctuary, where he found both purpose and calm.He was a hardworking man who took pride in providing for his family and living each day with honesty, strength, and heart. He believed in doing things the right way — through loyalty, effort, and love.He had a big heart and a gentle spirit — always ready to lend a helping hand, share a laugh, or tell a story from one of his many outdoor adventures. Those who knew him will remember his easy smile, steady presence, booming laughter, and the love he had for family and friends alike.Though we will miss him dearly, we find comfort in knowing he is fully restored and reunited with Vickie and Marazona — his two greatest loves — and that his spirit is now free among the peaceful places he cherished most.Ricky was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Vickie; their cherished daughter, Marazona; his parents, Lewis and Louise Brown of Ravenden, AR; his brother, Lewis Gene Brown of Ravenden, AR; his sisters, Rita Dail and Carolyn Faye Brown, both of Ravenden, AR; and his nephew, Tanner Bradley of Batesville, AR.He is survived by his sons, Tommy (Donita) Riddle of Oklahoma City, OK, and Jason (April) Riddle of Walls, MS, who will forever honor his legacy of love, hard work, and appreciation for life’s simple joys.He is also survived by his siblings, Jerry (Charla) Brown of Ravenden, AR; James Brown of Ravenden, AR; Linda Wiles of Ravenden, AR; and Betty (Randy) Rains of Batesville, AR.His grandchildren include Andrew Riddle of Pocahontas, AR; Ivy (Cody) Wolfe of Hernando, MS; Jade McElhaney of Hernando, MS; Paige McElhaney of Southaven, MS; Hayden Riddle of Walls, MS; Hunter Cordell of Heth, AR; Haeven (Dylan) Borree of Heth, AR; and Rikki Loree Jr. of Saucier, MS.He is also survived by one great-granddaughter, Brynleigh Marazona of Heth, AR, and many nieces and nephews who were an important part of his life.

Our Story

Doug Wortham began working in the funeral business in 1989 at the Heath Funeral Home in Paragould, Arkansas. Doug was mentored by Verlyn “Butch” Heath of Heath Funeral Home Inc., a family owned business since 1945. After making the decision to retire, the Heath's sold the Hardy Funeral Home to long-time manager Doug Wortham.

Butch and Jan Heath were told were told by friends that the Hardy area would benefit from a funeral home founded on the ideals and beliefs of his father Verlyn L. Heath, that providing families with the highest quality of service while maintaining the honesty, integrity, and professionalism expected from those serving in this industry. At that time Peace Lutheran Church was looking to sell their building and build a new facility. This proved to be a wonderful location with many great possibilities for a funeral home.

The Peace Lutheran building was renovated to suit the needs for a funeral home while only making the absolute necessary changes to the existing chapel. Heath Funeral Home, Oak Hill Chapel opened in August of 1993, and began serving the needs of the area. Heath Oak Hill Chapel has grown over the years and we now serve many families in Sharp County as well as western Lawrence and Randolph counties and eastern Fulton and Izard Counties.

Doug & Tammy Wortham moved to Cherokee Village in January 1998 along with their children Danielle and Seth. In January 1998 Doug became manager of Heath Oak Hill Chapel for 15 years. After making the decision to retire, the Heath's sold the funeral home to long-time manager Doug Wortham and wife Tammy. In December of 2013 Heath Oak Hill Chapel became Wortham Funeral Home, Oak Hill Chapel and Cremation.
