Ricky I sure hope Heaven is all you expected to be. Be on the look out for Brett. He will keep you laughing. Your parents allowed me to read some of your written thoughts. I found them deep and meaningful. Please don't worry about your family as "the gang" has your back. I was really touched when Rick shared with me that you found the our Lord. I will never forget the time when Dianna, Sam and you were locked out of the house. I was able to open a window and able to pick you up and put you through the window!!! Ricky: God's speed...enjoy yourself as you walk the streets of Heaven. Your friend and neighbor.

Although I moved out of town and lost contact over the years, there was a time when Ricky was my best friend. The friendships of your youth shape who you are today and I have only good memories of Ricky.

Ricky was a great friend w a big heart! He was talented in his writing of poetry and his ability to create laughter!! I still read his poems and feel like they speak to my soul.
To his family, I am so very sorry for your loss! I didn't know your son very long but he was like a brother to me at times. He was a great guy and a caring friend that listened intently and gave great advice!!
He is home w the angels!! I pray that you find peace in knowing that...God bless!

I wish I knew you longer Ricky. You had a huge heart and truly cared about people. We had only met a couple times and you didn't hesitate when I asked you to help me with something. That showed me the kind of person are and I'm glad I got to call you a friend.
