Ricky Ardell Riemann, 71, of Menahga, Minn., passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026. A lifelong resident of Menahga, Ricky was born on Feb. 15, 1954, to Ardell and Lillie (Downer) Riemann and grew up alongside his siblings, Rhonda and Randy.
Ricky was known throughout the community as a hard-working and kindhearted man who was always willing to lend a helping hand.

Whether he was stopping to visit with neighbors or sharing stories with friends, Ricky found joy in connection, and his gentle presence left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
One of his favorite pastimes was riding his bike around town. Many in Menahga will fondly remember seeing Ricky pedaling through the streets, waving and visiting along the way – a familiar and comforting sight that reflected the love he had for his hometown.
Ricky is survived by his nephew, Mark (Tiffany) Winslow of Phoenix, Ariz. and their daughters Kaila and Emma Winslow.
