Patti, You know Rick was my buddy and cousin, Rick was a pain in the butt most of the time but also would do anything for you. I will always have great memories of him, trying to drown me in the pool at Cloud Nine Ranch, putting on my Patti’s blouse. Rick was always happy to see us when we came down. He went out of his way to have things for him and I to do while you girls went shopping. I had more fun trying to get him into trouble with you about buying his guns. Rick did it his way, no matter how mad it made you. I felt so bad for you, but Rick was Rick. Miss ya Rick, rest in peace, rasie some hell up there like you did here. Love you man.

We remember all the good times and fun we had at Cloud 9 Ranch with Rick. I also remember some of the horse trading Rick and I did. Seems like he always got the best of me. Really

We were shocked and very saddened to hear this news. Rick’s mischievious grin could make anybody feel happy under any circumstances. You would always wonder what he was up to next! He did pass this trait on to Ryan and Calvin though. He will be be greatly missed by everyone who ever knew him. He was a great friend who would talk to you about anything in your life that was bothering you and give the shirt off his back if it would help. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help in any way.

Patti, It,s been a month now, and I still can,t beleive he,s gone. I,m glad that I can still picture him giving me a hard time and bugging my Patti. But it was always in a fun way. Rick was always laid back and took the moment as it was. Never in a hurry, he just wanted to enjoy life.
It was so much fun comming down to vist you both, never knowing what was going to happen. We always had our little talks about family and friends, never got bored. Rick wil always be in our hearts and our thoughts. I will remember the good times like they were yesterday. As you always know if we can help or just need to talk, we are only a phone call away. Love you, Ray & Pati Morgan
