Ronnie "Rico" Apodaca

I’ve known Ronnie for only the past two years. It was always a pleasure to spend time with him. He was talented, upbeat, and enthusiastic about his life. He loved his music, his dogs, and his work (probably in that order). Most of all, he loved his family --- parents, brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren. He was very proud of his kids and cherished the time he spent with them. He will be missed.

You will be missed my dear friend. I remember recording music in high school on the old cassettes & working on the 20 yr high school reunion. I am so glad we touched based and stayed friends (long distance) after I moved away. Thank goodness for facebook where your kids will keep you and your music alive. Have fun in heaven and I will see you again one day.

Apodaca Family, we are so sorry to hear about Ronnie's recent passing. His smile was contagious! Many fond memories of Ronnie from high school etc. will live on. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jodi Williams Wallis and Jeri Williams Colaw

I went to high school with Larry and Ronnie. Though I haven't seen them since school, I was saddened to learn through Micky Yarbrough that Ronnie had passed. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding surround Ronnie's family and friends.
