Ritchie Lee Adcox

Mr. Ritchie Lee Adcox age 59 of Lebanon passed away February 15, 2022, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  He was born in Rockwood, TN, son of Rolland E. Adcox and the late Judy Goldston Adcox. He was a 1981 graduate of Mt. Juliet High School and retired from AVCO in 2006.

Ritchie’s medical battle began when he was twenty-six years old.  He had many surgeries including two kidney transplants and a heart surgery he wasn’t expected to survive.  But he always came out on top.  When asked how he was doing he would always say “I’m good” or “I’m getting better”.

Ritchie never had children but he loved animals and had many furry and feathered companions through the years.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Judy Goldston Adcox.

He is survived by his wife of twenty-nine years, Gerri Bowers Adcox; father, Rolland Adcox; brother, Rocky Adcox; many friends and extended family members.
