Brad was such a sweet, fun guy! I knew him while I lived in Columbus for a couple years. I remember Brads smile and how friendly he was! He was so open about how much he loved his family, dogs included. Even though we only had a few interactions, I remember clearly how much he admired his family and how freely he shared that admiration. He was so proud to be a Ricart! Im so sorry for your loss; what an amazing man.

Pete and family, Thank you Lord Jesus princess of peace for your comfort and peace, healing of their broken hearts and lifting of their spirits, restore their strength and guide them on the journey of grieving. Let them experience your love and closeness I pray this in Jesus wonderful name amen. Psalm 23: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his names sake. Yea thought I walk through the valley of the shadow of death; I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. In Jesus name amen.

It is with heavy heart with the news of a good friend and brother worker has taken his final journey to the final rest safe in the arms of his savior. He was a very wonderful blessing that we were blessed to know and work with. A bright light in this world of darkness: great humor and help to make our lives alittle joyful and our labor lighter. He will be greatly missed and I pray that the Lord Jesus Lord of healing and restoration fill the broken hearts of his family and lift their spirits. Fill them with God's peace and comfort that surpasseth all understanding, and strengthen them for the journey ahead. Psalm 23.

Pete and family,
I will never forget the first time Brad rang my door bell when we were neighbors and I opened the door to a sweet little boy smiling back at me. Brad had a big heart and a kind soul. I pray that God will comfort you and your family and want you to know that Brad's infectious smile as a child and as an adult is a memory I will always remember.

The Angels are beside themselves I am so very sure enjoying your presence...As we here on earth are trying to grasp the thought of being unable to wrap our arms around you and laugh like crazy!. Bradley, you were such a genuine person. Never meeting a stranger and always giving them a wonderful smile as they smiled back at you.As I pray God gives your family and all who loved you so very much, the strength to go forth until we meet again. My heart will always smile when I think of you my sweet friend.
Rest in peace.
I love you so,

My daughter Taylor and I bought a car from Brad a few years ago. He made a stressful time so much fun and enjoyable that I left Ricart Auto saying I will only buy any future cars from Brad Ricart. A young soul lost too soon and you will be sorely missed. RIP Brad and our condolences to the Ricart family. At this time of sadness it brings me comfort knowing you are in heaven healthy and happy. ❤

Your smile. Your continual laughs. Your light-hearted approach. Your endless sharing of happiness. You always had a way to hug everyone whenever you would see them. These are the things that I will always remember about you. You touched so many lives in such an amazing way. You will be so missed. Rest your soul because your laughter will live forever in our hearts.
