Please know our hearts are with you. We had such hope that Rick would recover from his accident but God chose him to be an Angel instead. Keep your memories close as they will comfort you. Know that you are not alone in your sorrow.

Hugs to all of Ricky’s family and closest of friends.
Rick was a great guy and will be missed .
My husband mer him the 1st time when Ricky was working at Disc Beer. We would pull up and he would say whatever he could to embarrass me. Like saying I was super wild in school and chased all the guys or something….Wesley would jist grin. Ricky and I met when I moved from Illinois in the 7th grade and went to Fair View thru high school with him. Even though I disnt see him often I considered him to be a good friend…

I looked up to Rick. He was like an uncle and a father figure to me. I can’t believe he’s gone until this day. I always have good memories!! My condolences goes out to all family and I still pray everyday for the family. It seems like yesterday we were all together having a good time and laughing all the time. He helped me out a lot and that’s a wonderful guy. Watching the funeral with the motorcycles I cried. He is missed everyday, him and all the rest of the family took me in when I had no one. He gave me a place to live at his trailer park. I never got to thank him and his family for everything they have done. What a wonderful family to be around and be apart of, miss you uncle Rick soar high and hope to see you again someday RIP
