My condolences and prayers to the family....
I'm in total shock, I grew up with Ricky and George as they both use to come over to RC to play ball with us.

He was always a quite, friendly and well reserved individual that had a good soul.

May you R.I.P. Ricky

Rickey,

It is still very surreal that you are no longer here. You were so young and full of life. Though we were not good together as a couple, we were very good friends. Thank you for giving me the best gift anyone can have, our daughter Ashley. You will truly be missed but remembered always, especially every time I look at Ashley and her brother little Rickey.

My GOD keep you in his glory. Please always watch over the kids and keep them safe. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
