Jason Andrew Ricker, age 47 of Blowing Rock, NC, passed away peacefully at his home on
Friday, February 9, 2024. Jason was born January 10, 1977 in Johnson City, TN. He was
preceded in death by his father, Jim Ricker and his mother, Teresa Halbedel, and his fiance Kim
Greer.
Jason’s last job was working at Food Lion in Blowing Rock. However, he will probably be most
remembered as the face of Phil’s Citgo for many years.

Boone, NC, Joe Halbedel and wife Christy of Mooresville, NC, and Justin Ricker of Bakersville,
NC; his stepdad Phil Halbedel of Love Valley, NC; his stepmom Debbie Ricker of Bakersville,
NC; three nephews Blake Ricker, Bennett Ricker, and Brett Ricker; and three nieces Brittney
Ricker, Kaitlyn Halbedel and Savannah Halbedel; and a very special friend Tamara Dickinson.
A Celebration of Life Service for Jason Ricker will be held on Saturday, February 17 at 3pm at
