Willmott, Ricky Lee's Obituary
Ricky (Rick) Lee Willmott, 70, of Lahaina, Hawaii, passed away April 12, 2026. He was born March 24, 1956, in Brighton, Colorado, to Kenneth and Norma Willmott.
Rick was a man who worked with his hands throughout his life. In Colorado he worked as a plumber and truck driver before finding his way to the shores of Maui, where he made Lahaina his home. There he became a familiar face — baking at The Bakery in the Old Lahaina Industrial area, working night security at Lahaina Gateway, and lending his handyman skills across the community for years. He could do anything, and people knew it. He had a love for John Wayne and the spirit of the American West that never left him. Despite the miles and the years, family remained close to his heart.
He is survived by his daughter, Bridget; his brothers, Randy and wife Michelle, and Craig and wife Tanya; his sister, Kathy and husband Kevin; his nephews, Matt and Joey; his niece, Jenn; and his dear friend Jonichironi, who stood by his side in Lahaina.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Norma Willmott; his father, Kenneth Willmott; and his niece, Courtney.
A memorial service will be held at a date to be determined. Updates will be shared when available.
