Ricky Wellmann

Richard "Ricky" Dean Wellmann was called to his eternal home on the evening of Saturday, July 19, 2025. His passing was unexpected, leaving a deep ache in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. A true and humble man of God, Ricky was steadfast in his faith and lived with the peaceful assurance of where he was going when his time came. To Ricky, the dash between the dates meant everything-because that's where life was truly lived.

During his 60 years on this earth, Ricky was known for his strong work ethic and quiet determination. Gifted with his hands and truly a jack of all trades, he approached every task with patience and dedication. His wife often joked that he had the patience of a saint-he never stopped until the job was done right.

God's purpose for Ricky's life was clear: he was a true maintenance man at heart. His handwritten lists of PMs (preventive maintenance tasks) will remain treasured reminders of the care and diligence he poured into everything he did.

Ricky was born on August 2, 1964, in Brenham, Texas, to Marvin and Virginia (Zientek) Wellmann. He graduated from Brenham High School with the Class of 1982 and went on to earn multiple licenses in the plumbing trade. A lifelong member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Brenham, Ricky received all his sacraments there. The faith he was raised in became a cornerstone of his life and character.

On April 29, 1995, he married the love of his life, Tracy Jasinski. Together, they were blessed with two sons, Skyler Dane and Spencer Lane, and later a grandson who brought Ricky immense joy.

Ricky is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Tracy Wellmann; sons and daughter-in-law, Skyler & Maddie Wellmann, and Spencer Wellmann; grandson, CJ Wellmann; and a new grandbaby expected in November 2025. He is also survived by his parents, Marvin and Virginia Wellmann; brother, Mark (Sissi) Wellmann; sisters, Mary (Barry) Gold and Sara (Mike) Pohl; mother-in-law, Natalie Jasinski; brothers-in-law, Billy Jo (Amy) Jasinski and Jason (Becky) Jasinski; sister-in-law, Tina (Raymond) Heritage; along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ed and Ella Wellmann, Frank Zientek, and Julie Means; his father-in-law, Billie Jasinski; his nephew, Kelby Jasinski; and several beloved aunts and uncles.

Ricky will be remembered for his unwavering faith, quiet strength, and the deep love he had for his family.
