I think about you all the time, i know this is the 1st time i've written and I'm sorry it took so long. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I've been told things get easier with time but it hasn't. I love you with all my heart and miss you like crazy! We'll be together again one day.
I love you!

Wow only after searching for a good phone number for Rick did we find he is no long with us. Matt was Rick's roommate while stationed at Bragg, ten years ago. It was through Rick Matt and I had met and are still together so we find it fun to look him up from time to time and let him know how things are and to find out how he is doing. It has obviously been sometime and we are very sorry for your loss of Rick at such a young young age.
Thank you for this site and maintaining it. Through it and the photos posted we learned of this unfortunate event and that he even has children?!? News he didn't get to share with us.
God Bless you all.

4 years... I just keep thinking 4 years... it still seems like yesterday... I never did thank you for being who you were... and for giving me Rachel. So thank you, for everything.. and I wanted to show you her... she's so beautiful, smart... funny, and reminds me so much of you. Thank you for this precious gift.

Too much time has passed, and still not enough. I still dream about you, still wonder, and it still hurts. Rachel is amazing and spoiled of course lol. She looks so much like you still. I'm not sure if she has your temperment but I'm beginning to think she does, because man oh man can she be a smart butt. She's growing so fast, too fast. She fell asleep in my arms the other day and it reminded me of when Jeff fell asleep in yours. The memories still live on but I still pray that they weren't just memories. I know that you're in heaven and I know you're watching over your family. I hope they are all doing well, your friends included. I just wanted to say you're still missed ever so much and still thought about everyday.

I knew Rick about 10/11 years ago. When he was stationed at Fort Bragg, I met him and was in love with the person that he was. He always made me happy, we remained friends for sometime, and they I lost contact. Just today I found out by his family, that he is gone. He was and still is a great guy, that will be missed for all time. He made a big impact on alot of people, ecspecially me. I wish all of his family good memories and lots of love. Thank you for allowing me to know him. I will miss him greatly.

Hey Ricky!
Ich bin's deine Cousine Claudia aus Deutschland. Ich schreibe dir erst heute, da ich diese Internetseite erst heute entdeckt habe. Ich weiß nicht so recht, was ich schreiben soll. Außer, das wir alle in Deutschland noch sehr viel an dich denken und dich vermissen, obwohl einige, so auch ich, nie wirklich die Chance hatten dich richtig kennen zu lernen.
In Liebe Claudia

I realize it has been more than 2 years since Rick passed on. However, today was the first day I knew there was an online guest book. I knew Rick 10 years ago when I was still in high school and he was stationed at Fort Gordon. We met accidentally, but fate has a way of doing that. Throughout the years, as we both grew up, we stayed friends. Now, I cannot believe he is gone. I still think about him daily. Thank you Christine for contacting me and writing a beautiful letter and thank you for the pictures. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Robin

It's been so long, you would be 28 now. I didn't forget your birthday. It's hard to believe you aren't here to celebrate life, but I'm sure wherever you are .. you are celebrating with friends and family. You always had that, could make any time a good one. You're still missed and still remembered. I wish I could talk to you, there's so much I'd want to say, but i'm sure you know it all already. You're still loved Rick, and never forgotten. Rachel is sitting up now, she's trying soo hard to crawl. She looks ever so much like you. Jefferey is talking soo much more now, you two would have a grand time together, I'm sure. Watch over all your angels, the ones here and the ones yet to come. Keep an eye out on your family, I'm sure their need for you is still strong as ever. We love you Rick.
June 20, 2004
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!! .. just because you are not here in body, does not mean you are not celebrated. For the treasures you left with Jefferey, for the life you left in Rachel. Even though your time with Jefferey was short, and your time with Rachel is yet to come, your love is still remembered. Thank you for your patience, for your laughter, for your strength and acceptance. No one could have asked for a better Dad.
Last year, Father's Day, I had someone read a card to you. This year it might take a little longer. It will get there. But I just wanted you to know that today we do celebrate you as well. You aren't forgotten and no one will ever be able to take your place. Love you always, Kris
HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY!!!!

I sit here and think back to what I was doing one year ago, two years ago, three. I wonder where the time went. I'll never forget the talks we had, or the advice you gave me. When I close my eyes, I see you, I see memories. I would give almost anything in this world and beyond to make those a reality instead. I never understand the meaning heartbroken but when you lose someone... that word doesn't even come close to what you feel. I can't see the future, nor can I dream of it. I feel as if I'm stuck in time, the wrong time. A time of pain and sorrow. A time of grief and sadness. The only light at the tunnel is Jefferey and Rachel, and everyday she looks more and more like you. It's hard sometimes, but a blessing at others. Look after her and Jefferey. They are my reasons for life. They are yours and my legacy to this world. Our mark. You still live on. Your lessons still live on. Your love. Miss you ever so much. I Love you even more.

Well Bro it has been a year without you and we all miss you very much. It has been really hard without seeing your smiling face. I miss your laugh, and so many more things about you that I can't list them all. Although you will always be missed, I know that you are with us. Watch over the family. I love you Bro. I would also like to say to Mom, Dad, Christine, Marco, & the rest of the family, Thank you for being such a wonderful family and for allowing me to be a part of it. I love you all so very much.

It's been a year today bro. I'm not gonna lie, its been a real crappy one. There's no doubt in my mind though you are here with us every day and helpin to hold the family together. I thought I could go to the cemetary and leave you some flowers but I'm not gonna celebrate your death today I'm gonna celebrate your life. Plus I know flowers are not your thing...a fishing pole maybe...roses not so much. I love and miss ya bro. We will see you again.
Love,

It's coming up on a year, they say that time heals all wounds, I don't believe it. I think you just get used to the pain and you just become numb against it. I sit here and look at your daughter and see you in every feature of hers. I still feel as though my heart has been ripped out. You were an amazing person Rick, your lessons are still remembered, and your love is still felt. Your memory hasn't faded one bit, and your voice still lingers in the air. Life threw us all a hard lesson when it took you. One day, you can tell us why. Until then, I know we all, everyone that ever knew you still remembers you. And your family, including Jefferey, Rachel, and I love you sooo very much. That love will never die. Miss you very much. You will never be forgotten and I haven't given up.
Love you Rick !

Wenn du mich suchst,
kannst du mich finden:
Ich leucht´ als Stern dir in der Nacht
Als Sonnenstrahl will ich Dir künden von dem, der all dies hat gemacht.
Im Lied der Vögel hör´mein Sehnen nach Dir, in der ich immer bleib.
Ich bin nicht tot, ich leb´in Dir und Deiner Liebe.
Im Grab liegt nur Vergängliches, mein Leib.
Darum bin ich auch nicht begraben.
Ich leb´ in allem, was ich je getan und warte auf Dich, bis zu Deinem Abend.
Dann schau´n gemeinsam wieder wir die Sonne an.

I'm not really good at doin' these things, hence why I took so long...I just wanted to express my sincere condolences to Rick's family and everyone he has touched through his life...In my case, he was one of my closest friends...We had our moments, but in the end, it just made that bond stronger...If I had my way, I would have gladly taken his place, just so he could do all the things he has always wanted to...He is missed with each passing day, even though I know he's watchin' over us all... (some more than others...heh) Take care dood, and much love to you and your family... Wolfpac :)

To all of Rick's friends:
When Rick passed away my family and I were unable to locate very many pictures that he had. If ANY of you have pictures of him, we would greatly appreciate any copies you may be able to email/send to us. It would mean a lot to us. Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Christine (Rick's Sister)

All The Late Night Talks When I was Bored Outta My Mind,The 50 sum odd pics you sent from your cam bein all goofy..Durin "That" Really hard time for me. I know I might Not have lost as Much as others In Losing you, But I know There Isnt a Person Here today Who Could Replace You, Or The Things You've done. Why Should We Be Mad When God Only Wanted You To Himself. R.I.P Rick, I know Everyone Misses You!

Someone said to me that if God came to me all those years ago and said he had a little blond boy that he wanted to share with me but that I would have to give him back at 26 years of age would I do it all over again?I burst out crying and said absolutely!For all the laughter and joy that you brought to this family,having you as my nephew has definitely been worth it!The memory of you and Marco walking into Grandma and Grandpa's house for the 1st time will always be dear in my heart.Even though you're no longer here,physically,to share your joy,laughter,jokes and impressions we'll always have them in memory and that was the gift you brought to all of us-we're all so thankful for it.You were already a hero to your family and friends but now you're a hero to strangers who will forever be grateful to you.Enjoy your new life in Heaven and have fun playing cards,fishing and telling jokes with Grandpa and Uncle William and someday we'll all be together again and all of our hearts won't be hurting anymore.I love you and miss you
June 24, 2003
Although he may be gone,He'll never be forgotten and never fade from Families and friends heart. He'll be looking down on all of us now,and protecting those he cared about the most.Those that new him, knew he was a great character. If Rick wasnt throwing smart remarks at ya then he didnt care. That was his way of liking a person. Ill Never and Im sure those that hungout with Rick, will always look back on the memories we all shared . WE MISS U RICKY POO

There are so many words to tell just what you meant to me. I am very proud to be your Dad. I believe that everyone you touched loved you and there were so many. My life will never be the same. I will see you again but until then you will be in my heart.
POPS
To all the kind people who signed this book Klara and I are greatful and reading this has helped us to deal with this great loss. Marco and Christine we love you and together with so many friends we will get through this.

To my brother Rick
I will miss you lots more than anyone will ever know. I know we didn't do alot of things together but the few things we did was very enjoyable. I could always count on you to help me out if I needed help on something or something picked up at the store. I loved going fishing and riding motorcycles with you, it won't ever be the same. I just wanted to say I love you very much and miss you. I will see you some time in the future take care of yourself out there.
ps....
I will make sure that Jordan and Matthew know who you was and how much you loved them.
love

To a great nephew - Rick
Although we weren't able to spend a lot of time together throughout your short life, I will never forget the times we were together. The two biggest memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is when you and I went dumpster-diving when your dad was stationed in Fort Knox. Boy did we find some really cool stuff. The second most memorable time that I will charish forever is when you drove down from N.C. to honor my father (your grandfather) at his funeral in full military uniform. You left a lasting impression that day and I know he was very proud of you. Give grandpa a big hug for me.
Love ya - Mark

To my Grandson Rick,
When I first met you and Marco, you two stole my heart. You made me Grandma for the first time. What an honor that was for me. Now I have 10 great, wonderful grandchildren. When you play poker with Grandpa- tell him to put his teeth in. Watch over our family in Kansas as I know you are.
I love you very much,
Grandma

I love you little brother.

Love ya TurkeyBuzzard !

I'm hoping that the young guy who was involved in Ricks accident will read this. I'm his little sister...I just wanted to let you know that you are NOT to blame for what happened. Our family does not hold a grudge. And you can't blame yourself. This was just a terrible accident. Please be strong and take care of yourself, Rick would never want anyone to blame themselves. Take care...

Rick,
I am sorry for the accident that happened to you. You were my bestest bud here in fay. The times we all shared and you driving us out to the clubs and always having to hear you and Darrell sing that silly song before we went out. You were so good to me and always there when I needed it, especially at Sissy's house. Gosh I was so trashed that night. I will never forget the times we all shared, you are an amazing person and will truly be missed, however I know you are looking down on us and will always laugh at the times we shared. I will not forget New Years Eve, and I am glad I got to see you then. Take care REEECK, and my prayers are with your family.

Hey Bro! I know youre somewhere looking out for the family otherwise I would have never been able to deal with this. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. If I could I would trade you places. It doesnt seem fair. I'm so thankful for all the memories that we have had and it hurts so bad to know that there will be so many memories we wont get to share...one day we will. Take care of yourself out there Rick. And...take care of Mom and Pops. You are out there Rick...saving the lives of many...so that other families won't have to suffer the same pain we do. In my eyes...youre a hero...to many. We love you a lot!
Love Always,
