Our family will surely miss Ricky. He had a great smile,and was so kind hearted, he never said a bad word about anyone, always looked to the future with positive thoughts. My family was honored in knowing him from Sky Top Lanes, as a friend and a bowling team partner. He touched many of us with his life. When we would go to Taco Bell he would always come over and chat a while, he always had time to be a friend. Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family through your tragic loss. May the love of Christ help ease your burden of grief on the loss of your son and brother. Ricky soar high with the angels with your big smile, kindness and love for all. He will be missed greatly, we all loved him.

Ricky was a great person. He touched many lives, more than we will ever know of. He was fun loving, caring, strong and was always there if you needed him. He forgave easy, rarely judged and would give to those less fortunate than he was. We all learned sooo much from him.

He was an angel on earth and now one in heaven He will be remembered by many for years to come.
