Born in Ukiah, CA, on October 16, 1970, to John Robert Ricetti and Shirley Kay Slaven. Rob's journey touched the lives of many. On February 9, 1991, Rob married his beloved Linda Irene Ricetti in South Lake Tahoe, creating a union that stood the test of time. A man of diverse interests, Robbie found joy in camping, the great outdoors, golfing, and boat races. His love extended to classic cars and boats, particularly his cherished '65 Chevy Impala and '68 Sanger V-drive flatbottom. Rob dedicated a significant part of his life to driving trucks, finding pride and joy in his work. He maneuvered a fuel truck for Nick Barbieri Redwood Oil and later steered a concrete truck for North Cal Recycled Rock. His enthusiasm for driving was a reflection of his genuine and humble nature. A devoted husband and father, Rob was a hero to his family. With a heart of gold, he demonstrated unwavering generosity, always extending a helping hand to anyone in need. His outgoing nature and love for people cultivated countless friendships, leaving a permanent mark on those who were fortunate to know him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Linda Irene Ricetti; daughter, Michele Ann Ricetti; aunt Sue Refearn, Uncle Rex Slaven; and several of his cousins. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the American Cancer Association and the Alzheimer’s Association. In the wake of his departure, we remember Robbie as a selfless and humble man, guided by a golden moral compass that will forever illuminate our hearts.
