Ricky Steven McLaird Obituary

We bid farewell to Ricky Steven McLaird (Knightdale, North Carolina), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on April 1, 2026 at the age of 64. Ricky touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

Though Ricky may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Ricky touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Paul Richard McLaird and Sula Nell Autry; his wife Donna McLaird; his children, Mitchell Steven McLaird and Jessica M. Davis (Tyler); his granddaughters, Ava and Eva; his sisters, Debra McLaird and Mindy Hill (Eddie); and his nieces, Brook Hulon and Katelin Hill. He was also cherished by two great nieces; two great nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to assist with expenses.
