Ricky A. Heksch, 61, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on March 19, 2019, unexpectedly, at Mt. St. Mary's Hospital. Born in Niagara Falls, he was the son of Constance (Accetta) Heksch and the late Berthold Heksch.

Ricky attended local schools and graduated from Niagara Falls High School. He began working as a medical orderly at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and put himself through nursing school at N.C.C.C, where he graduated in 1984. Ricky worked as a Registered Nurse at Buffalo General Hospital for over 27 years until his retirement due to medical reasons. He was very proud of being a nurse and enjoyed caring for his patients.
