I am so very sorry for your loss. Ricky was a wonderful guy, and truly loved his family. He was also an excellent artist; I’m not sure many people realize that about him. I was his art teacher in high school, and he always seemed to have a lot of talent.

So sorry to read of the tragic accident and loss of your Ricky.
The pain of losing a loved one can be so overwhelmingly sad.
Our heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will ‘swallow up death forever, and wipe the tears from all faces’ Isaiah 25:8.
What a wonderful future hope that is.
There is much Bible based comfort to be found on jw.org

I can’t even begin to express how my heart aches for the Leslie family. I pray that God comforts you during this difficult time. My family grew up with yours and over the years I have wonderful memories of Ricky. His smile was contagious and his adventurous spirit is what we all loved about him. Most of all he was a really nice person to be around and he loved his family! Sending you my love & hugs and praying always
