Ricky Clayton was born March 17, 1959, in Glendive, MT, the son of Jerry and Patricia (Borders) DeWolf. Rick’s dad was in construction and the family moved to wherever the job demanded. After high school, Rick spent a few years working hard and playing harder. Rick drove truck for many years at Polman Transfer before he and his wife, Sue started RDS Moving in 2017. He was grateful for this second chance at life and wanted to ensure others had the same opportunity.
Rick was a hard worker who was very determined to accomplish his goals. He was a problem-solver, social butterfly, and romantic teddy bear. He and Sue spent many miles on their Harley searching out the best new place to eat.
He will be missed by the love of his life, Sue; children, Joshua, Jamie, and Jenna; siblings, Wanda DeWolf, Lexie (Russ) Mattson, Tammy (Roger) DeWolf, and Teresa (David) Meriwether; six grandchildren; life-long friends, Leonard Ebinger, Brian Olson, Steve Hines, and Brian Stumvoll; and his side kicks, Minnie and Dozer. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jerry and Patricia.
