I am at a loss for words, we were shocked and upset when we just found out about Rickys death. Kathy and Kayla I am so very sorry. I just got out of the hospital with some heart issues and my mom found his name in the listings of the obituary column on the computer. When she called Keith & me we wouldn't believe it until we looked for ourselves. I am so sorry. I would have been there had I known. We love you all. Even though we lost touch you have always been like our family. Ricky was such a sweet person and he hadd such a kind heart. We talked about you all quite often. If there's anything we can do please call us. We love you. 276-429-1041 You'll be in our prayers.

To The Family,
There are no words to describe how shocked, saddened and sorry I am by the passing of Ricky. I have known Ricky since I was 14. We were such very good friends to this day. Heaven definitely gained an Angel with Ricky. He is such a wonderful,sweet man. Ricky was always here for me.That man could turn my tears into a smile with just 1 word or just a look.The pleasure has been all mine and the world is a better place, because of him. He will truly be missed. Rest in Peace my sweet sweet friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this terrible time. Death is never easy, especially when it is so sudden and without warning. God had a bigger plan for Ricky than we all did, and now he is an Angel in heaven. May you all find comfort and peace in God's loving arms.

This news breaks my heart! I knew Rick in High School but we became close when we were working together at Gaylord's. I have been gone from Bristol for along time but I thought of you guys often. I am so sorry for the loss of love ones that you have had. Words cannot say what needs to be said at a time like this. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
