I had the pleasure of working with Ricky twice and in My 35+ years working in auto dealer service departments, I can truly say Ricky is the only person I worked with Who truly cared for all his customers & co-workers. Dexter Jarrell

Deepest sympathies for Mr. Dub, Debbie, and Donna. Ricky will be very much missed, especially that twinkle in his eye that let you knew he was up to something! The world has lost a truly sweet and giving person.

I already miss my good friend and "brother" but I find comfort because I know he has been made whole again and he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a loving, kind and fun person to know and be with! One of a kind! Many great memories! Mr. Dub, Debbie and Donna my heart goes out to you for your (our) loss. Kathryn and I will be praying for you.

I have deep sympathy for all of Ricky's loved ones, and fond memories of sitting side by side in homeroom, of his pretty smile, of laughter, fun, and friendship. I am praying for his dad, sisters, and the neighbors who were like family. This is just a temporary parting. It was a very beautiful service.

Brother Dub, Debbie and Donna - I extend my sincerest condolences to you. Ricky touched many lives with his love and humility, the latter of which I find to be the most endearing. He showed us all what being grateful in the face of tremendous adversity looks like; a leader in every sense of the word. May God's peace and comfort be yours..
