Rickie Lee Fegely, Jr., 43, of Kutztown, died unexpectedly on Saturday, April 22, 2017 in Kutztown. He was the loving husband of Melissa A. (Pannebecker) Fegely, whom he married on July 19, 2008.

Born in Allentown, Rickie was the son of Rickie Lee Fegely, Sr., of Allentown, and Bonita Y. (Crotzer), wife of Charles R. Henry, of Kutztown. Rickie was a 1991 graduate of Kutztown Area High School and was Lutheran in faith. In 2016, Rickie purchased a distributor route for Snyder’s – Lance, Inc., working out of Kutztown. Prior to that, he worked as a route sales representative for Frito-Lay Snacks, for 10 years; and as a foreman at Abby Installation, Inc., Medford, NJ, for several years. An avid outdoorsman, Rickie enjoyed fishing, hiking, gardening, biking and everything about nature. But his true love was his family; his wife and three children, who he would always make laugh. His silly and joking personality will especially be missed by them.

In addition to his Wife of nine years, Missy; Father, Rickie; and Mother and Step-father, Bonnie and Charles; Rickie was the proud father of his three wonderful Children, Madeson H. Fegely, Cooper Z. Fegely, and Karsyn M. Fegely, all of Kutztown; and caring brother to Andria L. Fegely, of Topton, and Kathleen A. (Fegely) Rohrbach, Allentown. He is also survived by his in-laws, Eric L. and Karen A. (Rhoads) Pannebecker, of Fleetwood, Paternal Grandmother, Joan (Wendling) Fegely, Allentown, and Maternal Grandmother, Gladys (Campbell) Crotzer, Bally. Rickie was predeceased by a Son in infancy, Danni; Paternal Grandfather, Henry G. Fegely and Maternal Grandfather, E. Eugene Crotzer.
