Memories and Condolences
for Ricky Myers
Eva Adams-Myers
July 20, 2023
I´m lying in bed with tears rolling off my face onto my pillow. I´m reliving our last morning together. We held each other, kissed each other and we both said, "I love you.
You called me at 5:30 with BIG news! You had just received your "colors" for Hell´s Angels. A lifetime dream you shared with me at one time. I mentioned you would not be coming home because you were so excited you´d be out celebrating with your friends. You said, "no Eva, I´m coming home."
I went on to bed at some point and was awakened around 1:30 am by loud knocking on the door. I figured you had forgotten your key but when I went to the door I didn´t see anyone. I tried calling your cell phone but there was no answer. I tried several more times, still no answer. The loud knocking on our front door started again. I opened the door and my worst nightmare began and 13 years later has never ended.
One of your friends was standing in the yard and told me I needed to come with him. I asked why and he would only say your name. I figured if it was serious I needed to let your mom know. I called and told her we needed to leave right away. Thankfully he offered to drive us to Baptist Hospital in Winston Salem. I would not have been able to drive home.
When we arrived at the hospital we were in a waiting room when one of the surgeons came in to tell us they had a team of 12 doctors working on you and they had done all they could. They told us you could not survive the massive head trauma and other injuries you had suffered.
I went into the room, laid my head on your left shoulder just like I did every night we fell asleep together. You were in a coma or so close death I´m not sure if you even knew I was there. I hugged you as much as I could and told you over and over how much I loved you. You took your last breath and my happy life as I knew it ended at that very moment. We fit together like a puzzle and half of the puzzle is missing forever. I have my own idea why God took you that morning at 5:35 am but only He knows for sure!
The days go by but my memories of our short time together live in my heart and soul forever. "I will love you always and forever." You wrote that on every card you ever gave me and made sure the florist did the same with the many many many times you sent flowers to me at work. My desk always had fresh flowers - most of the time - red roses.
There will never be another Ricky Neal Myers, my husband, my best friend, my lover, and the one person I could share anything with. I am so thankful God brought us together. Our married life could not have been better. It was truly a fairy tale. Only those who really knew us saw how very happy and in love we were. Some dream of such a life and we lived it for a very short time. January 17, 1996 - July 21, 2010
I miss you. I love you. I will never be the same without you.

Today has been a very emotional day. The sermon was from Luke 7:11-17 entitled Jesus Encounters a Grieving Widow. The widow had lost her only son. God said to the woman, "Stop crying." He then touched the stretcher her dead son was being carried and said to him, "Arise." The son stood and began talking. I have never lost a child but did lose Ricky, my soulmate, my best friend, my protector, and so much more. It will be 12 long years on 7/21/2022 but today it was as raw as if I had just laid my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arm across his chest for the last time. Seconds later her was gone. My heart is broken and the tears will not stop flowing. To repeat what he always told me, " . . . Love you forever and always . . ." Eva

Our sermon this morning was from Luke 7:11 - 17 entitled "Jesus Comforts a Grieving Widow." Jesus took compassion on this woman whose only son had just died. Jesus told the grieving woman to "Stop crying." He then spoke to the young man who was dead and said "Arise."
I cried from the moment I sat down until the service ended. Thank God, I have never lost a child. I miss Ricky so much my heart still hurts at his passing. We could not have been any more "in true love" and today has been a very emotional day.

How can it possibly have been 11 years??? On July 20, 2010 we held each other, kissed each other and told each other how much we loved each other. . . Not knowing it would be the last. We made each other so happy, every day together was so special, always happy, always loving and looking forward to our future. I relive this day in my mind and it is the most horrible real life nightmare I have endured. As you always said, "Love you forever and always" and that summed up our life together.

So hard to believe it will be 10 years on July 21, 2020. How did the years go by so quickly? Most days it feels like that nightmare never ends. Not a day goes by that you are not thought of and loved more than the day before. Our life was truly a fairy tale that ended way too soon. I thank God for the time we had together. It could not have been any better. Love you always & forever!!

It has been over 9 years and after losing my Dad (AE Myers) and Rick, Which was more like a Brother, than a cousin. Life has never been the same since. I don't do any of the hobbies we use to do. I never knew had alone we become in this world if we live long enough. You are well missed here. I owe Rick a lot of credit for who I am today.

Today is Tuesday, December 13, 2011 and the Guest Book is complete. I thank Tony Peterman for being so thoughtful and starting it. What an awesome remembrance for Ricky. He would have been so proud of all our friends who attended his service on 7/24/2010 and for all the kind gestures of sympathy displayed during the service and even today. Ricky you were my one true love. You were my best friend, my soul mate and my wonderful husband for 14 1/2 very short but amazing years. No one could have ever treated me better or loved me more and I felt the same about you. I will miss you always and love you forever. You're always on my mind and in my heart ... until we see each other again. Yours forever Eva

Today is Friday, November 25, 2011. Friday night I put up my first Christmas tree (since Ricky's death) in honor of Ricky and what he loved. It is decorated in all red and white and has a ribbon around it with the words, "I BELIEVE IN ANGELS." I do believe in Angels as I know Ricky is my Heavenly Angel watching over me everyday. I have never been loved by anyone as much as I was loved by him and he was never loved by anyone as much as I loved him. We literally fit together like a puzzle and half the puzzle is missing and the other half will never be whole until we meet in Heaven. I will always miss you Ricky, my Heavenly Angel and love you forever. Yours forever, Eva

Well it hit me today that my buddy is gone and has left me behind. So for me it a loss that I will never get over. My best buddy. There is no doubt in my mind that he was loved by many. Only if you got to know this man could he touch your heart as he has mine. So many people would say stuff that I wouldn't like hearing and I knew wasn't true. I have figured out all great people have others that can't stand that they're that GREAT, so people will talk to bring them down. Rick has always said if people are saying bad stuff about him they are letting someone else rest. Eva has a very hard road to travel, but I must say she is one of the strongest women I that I have ever known. I have been so busy helping as much as I can that I haven't had time to let it hit me. But now most of the work is done and I have time to realize that it's not a bad dream ... it's real.
Thanks be to all the people that really knew Rick and had the great thoughts and statements that we all know are made from GREATNESS as RICK was. If I ever live to be half the person that he was I would fulfill a dream. To all I say Thank You with a TEAR.

Went to see Eva today, she's holding up the best she can right no. She has her family & friends there but when everybody turns to go home to their everyday life she will need her friends more than anything. I just didn't know what to say to her my heart breaks for her, we just sat & talked about what he did when I would walk into his shop and about my daughter when he did my tattoo. When it was finished I was very proud of it and I cried, but to see the pride in his eyes after it was done and the tears in his eyes was what made it more special to me. He was a wonderful guy and had a heart of gold as does Eva, I'M GOING TO MISS HIM SO MUCH. He had that smile that no one else had. Love you Rick

I'm in shock right now just got a text yesterday from Jason, about Rick my heart just fell to the floor. Eva I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and Rick loved you and you loved him, I have met some wonderful people in my time but these two were the greatest to me. The times I spent at the tattoo shop talking, laughing, crying, or just hanging out I have to say I met true friends who were there for me. I remember riding with you to and hunting with Rick listening to his stories. Or coming to the house at Jason's. My heart goes completely out to Eva. Eva Rick is beside you you may not see him but he's an ANGEL now on your shoulder and once an Angel always an Angel. I remember us at the funeral home me and Eva sitting beside each other and Rick's cell phone started playing music and the expression on Eva's face. I love you girl I'm out of town right now and I have sent flowers and a letter to you at Jokers Wild. R. I. P. RICKY NEAL MYERS WE LOVE YOU. Jason you are in my prayers need anything call me.

July 24, 2010 4:43 PM Eva and sweet family. We were so sorry and sad to hear about Ricky. Wayne and I was talking about how giving Ricky was and you will never know all he did for others. Death is so final for us on earth but we will see our love ones again in heaven. You are in our prayers and we know GOD will take care of you."Through your tears and in your sorrow; know that GOD holds you close" "Be still and know that I am GOD." Psalm 46:10

Dear Eva and family, I am still in so much shock, I just can't believe Sailor Rick is gone. My love and prayers are going out to you and your family. Due to a previous engagement, I am unable to come to the service today. I love you Eva and you have known me for a long time and again I am so sorry. We will all miss him!!!

July 24, 2010 11:34 AM Lots of good memories of Rick. I remember when he gave me my tattoos that was a pretty big experience for me. His ink will live in me as well as of many others that had the privlage. Several of my clan got body piercings as well as his work tattooed on them. He came in the Harley shop to hang out almost every morning before he went to work to catch up on what's happening for the day. After I moved away I would still make a point to go by the shop to see how things was going. It was a honor to know him. He will be missed but never forgotton-Good Ol'Sailor Rick! Peace, Prayers and Blessings to all the Myers Family. Sandy Mastin
