Ricky Duane LaRue, also known as Gonzo, 32, of Pittston, died unexpectedly Thursday, January 19, 2012, at home. Born in Ransom, he was son to Ricky and Donna Segeda LaRue Sr., of Ransom. He attended local schools in Abington. He was a faithful father to his three loving daughters and was nicknamed "Mr. Mom." Ricky loved to cook and barbecue at the Ransom Creek while swimming with his little girls, go fishing, but most of all he loved spending time with his family. Ricky was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Michael and Alice Segeda, and brother Justin LaRue. Surviving Ricky, in addition to his parents, are his daughters, Harley, Miranda, and Megan LaRue, at home; sisters, Alice Henry and husband John, Ransom; Ricci Lynn LaRue and life partner Michael Suprick, Ransom; Karen La Coe and husband Chris, Ransom; brother David, Ransom; paternal grandparents, Duane and Betty LaRue, Ransom; fiancée Megan Mikulka, at home; and several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. There will be no calling hours and funeral services will be at the convenience of the family. A Memorial Service will be scheduled at a later date to remember Ricky. Arrangements are by the Yanaitis Funeral Home, Plains. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.yanaitisfuneralhome.com .

To Megan, Harley, Miranda,Lil Megan,Denise and Family,
We are all so sorry and cannot express enough or even imagine what you guys are going through.. All I do know is the loving man Gonzo was. He cared so much for you Megan and your daughters. He also was one of the kindest people I can say I ever knew. Our kids became friends so young and he always treated them as family. We will never forget his fried chicken and BBQ's in the yard. Many wonderful memories. Just know we will keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers. Love you guys.
