Rick May is one of the people in my life I thought would live forever. Although it has been a while since I've seen or chatted with him. He definitely worked hard at work and at life. Great wife and children. Sending positive energies to you all.

My favorite memory with Uncle Rick was watching the 2007 Fiesta Bowl at his house. Uncle Rick was the only one that believed that the Boise State Broncos could defeat the heavily favored Oklahoma Sooners. Rick was an awesome host & the game was great. Uncle Rick was also my realtor and helped me buy my first house. You will be missed Uncle Rick and never forgotten.
