Lisa and Family, the news came as a shock to me, I am still trying to come to terms that I will never get another silly, spiritual, and loving email from my wonderful cousin Rick. But as I sat and cried Rick's voice softly spoke and said to me "don't cry Cuz, I just met Jesus" it was then I knew his dream had come true. WOW what a blessing! Rick expressed on many occasion how much he loved his family; all of you meant the world to him, and Lisa, you gave him all the riches any man could wish for on this earth. My heart goes out to each and every one who's life he touched with the words of our Lord and I will miss him very much. We grew up side by side in North Denver and he will always hold a very special place in my heart. My family: Dad & Dorothy, Zeke and John, send their condolances as well. I am a phone call away should you ever need a shoulder to lean on. Blessing Always Rosie
Dear Lisa, Ana, Margie,Rick, Kris,Anna and Grandchildren, what a blessing it was to know Rick. My heart is broken knowing the loss you all are suffering. His life celebration was such a blessing and a testimony to a man that loved not only the Lord, but his precious family. You are in my prayers and I am here if you ever need anything. Love, Jason, Micki and Jonathan.
Big Rick, I thank you for all the great memories. The thought of you and your son Rick Jr not sharing a stage again in this lifetime will always be bittersweet, but oh the reunion to come that fine day! I know your hand will always be guiding your son and our family to follow your strong drum beat for Jesus Christ. You mean so much to us, more than words can say and our time together was too short. See you in heaven.
Grandpa you and grandma have taught me so much about God and Jesus in your bible study days. I will do my best to grow into a man of Jeses. I am so very saddend about your death but I know you are playing music in the heavenly band and having a good time up in the kingdom of God. I will greatly miss you for the rest of my life. I promise grandpa that me and my brother will help grandma take care of the garden & yard.
Your grandson,

It was a pleasure to know you Rick for the short time we were together. I will miss our worship leading conversations. You were a great Godly man and heck of a hard worker. I am jealous you get to worship now with Jesus and the angels before me but I will join you someday. See you in a little while buddy. Keep a guitar warmed up for me.
My deepest condolences to the Armijo family. I had the honor of working with Rick. You will forever be remembered as a righteous man of God & a hard worker. Miss you brother
