What a special person/Great guy Rick was. Loved sports-baseball/football. He has so many friends who loved him! I remember him back in the day (80's) hanging out at our home "the Burn house" with the rest of Anniston High School and Golden Springs kids. What a fighter, even through his disease Rick always found something positive and that is what I take with me until I draw my last breath! Rest in peace my brother. Prayers to the family.

Ron and Mike Holley, please accept my condolences for Rick's passing. Having known your family all my own life, it brings a heavy heart to know that someone leaves us long before their time. Devastating to know Rick had to put up with this for so long. Special sympathies to all the family, and I hope God can bring comfort that Rick's suffering is over. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss.
