Riki Lynne Hamm of Desoto entered eternal rest on August 19, 2025, as the result of a car accident, at the age of 30. She was born in Farmington, Missouri, on December 12, 1994, to Ricky Hamm and Roberta Johnson.
Riki is survived by her beloved three-year-old daughter, Harley Jean Yates; her mother, Roberta “Robbie” Johnson; her father, Rick Hamm; her maternal grandparents, Bob and Ruby Johnson; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family who loved her deeply.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Richard and June Hamm; her aunt, Debbie Hamm; and her cousin, Brandon Leigh.
Riki graduated from Seckman High School in 2012 and went on to work as a dedicated bartender at Parson's Pubb in Goose Creek for nine years. Known for her bright spirit and big heart, Riki brought energy and laughter wherever she went.
Her daughter, Harley Jean, was the center of her world, and she found her greatest joy in being a mother. Riki enjoyed swimming, motorcycles, camping, riding four-wheelers, karaoke, and spending quality time with her friends and family. She will be remembered for her adventurous soul, fierce love for those close to her, and her ability to light up every room she entered.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 3 p.m. at Knob Lick Cemetery. Share your condolences and memories at cozeanfuneralhome.com.
