Lucas (Lukie) Jeffrey Ricker

Lucas “Lukie” J. Ricker, 20, of Blackberry Hill Road, passed away at his home October 6, 2022.

 Lucas was born January 21, 2002 in Rochester, NH, the youngest of four sons born to James and Kristina (Pepin) Ricker.  Lucas was currently attending the Birchtree Center in Portsmouth, NH, who helps children and adults with autism; hardly missing a day.   Lucas loved the lake and boat rides with the wind in his face at their seasonal at Apache Campground. 

 Lucas was the unofficial mascot, attending all of his brothers’ hockey games, even if he loved the Zamboni more than the game itself.   He had a great love of music; humming along to his musical toys.

He also loved swinging, ringing the brass bell when he went outside, his comfy bed and a good nap.  Lucas had a big smile and an amazing dimple that would light up the room.  He loved joining the conversation at the table and every event they attended.  Lukie loved earning his “incentives” and making everyone laugh. He touched the hearts of all those lucky enough to have known him.

 Lucas’ family sends their deepest gratitude and appreciation to Maine Medical Pediatric Specialty Group and Pediatric Palliative Care Team; Hospice of Southern Maine, Back to Basics Behavioral Health Services, Milestones Services and to the Make a Wish Foundation who had given him a wheelchair accessible bathroom.

 Lucas will be forever loved by his parents, Jamie and Kris Ricker of Berwick; paternal grandparents Herbert and Rita Ricker; maternal grandmother Margaret Pepin; 3 brothers, Mikyle Ricker of Rollinsford, Wyatt and Jacob Ricker of Berwick; aunts and uncles; Doug Pepin and husband Chad Dubois of Tampa, FL, Monica Pepin and fiance Bruce Morgridge of Rollinsford, NH; Wendy Greenlaw of Berwick, and many great aunts, uncles and cousins.

 A time of visitation will be held Tuesday, October 11th, from 6pm to 8pm at the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick, ME.  Memorial donations may be made in his memory to the Birchtree Center, 215 Commerce Way, Suite 300, Portsmouth, NH 03801.
