Ricky Canley was born on May 29, 1954 in Santa Barbara, California. He was the fourth child born to L.V. & Louise Canley. Ricky accepted Christ at an early age. He attended and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1972. He met and married Jasmine Young. To this union, they had four daughters, Andrea Dantzler (Dee), Adara Philpot (Romell), Ariana Canley (Anthony), Aliyaha Canley (Will), fifteen grandchildren. He has six siblings. Ricky worked for Pepsi Bottling Company for 27 years, where he was respected by his colleagues and was an exceptional employee. After he retired, if you asked him what he wanted to do, he'd respond "Not a damn thing after getting up at 4AM." He thoroughly enjoyed being retired.
Ricky had a quiet spirit. He joined and loved attending the St. Paul Baptist Church in Oxnard, CA. He loved barbequing, being on his computer and enjoyed listening to his Blues & Gospel music. He also liked listening to the action on his Police Scanner. Ricky married the love of his life, Juanita Hayes, who was his soulmate. They were married for 15 wonderful years. Juanita simply adored Ricky. His Sister In-Law, Marie Hayes of Detroit, Michigan, was very fond of him. Ricky will dearly be missed by his loved ones, who now celebrate that he is at peace with his Creator, the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Services will be conducted at a later date.
