Rick had so many good friends & such a loving family. I have known him since the two of us were about 4 or 5 years old. He was so proud of each of his children, Christopher, Crystal & Sarah, his granddaughter, Whitnie, his step son, Vincent. Vickie, his sister, was his rock. He said many times he knew that Vickie will always have his back. He was also glad to have Holly & Keith in his life & a part of his family. My deepest condolences go out to each of you. I loved Rick with all of my heart & he will be missed for the remainder of my life.
God Bless,
Pam
I love Rick with all my being. I miss his laugh and crazy jokes. I miss the phone calls. He was my best friend. He will always be in my heart. I wished he would have made it to the Willie Nelson concert last night. He was so looking forward to it. I attended with my sister, his daughter Crystal, and his son Christopher. It was awesome. During the trip and Concert we had many memories in Rick. I loved him for 6 years and I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. Prayers go out to his family and friends. Rick, I will love you forever.
So sorry to hear this. He was a great friend. Prayers for Vicki and his family and friends. RIP Brother ????????
Thank you so much.

Rick was a good friend to me. He always knew just what to say. I work in home health care and in the past patients have passed away. He would always say I understand the sadness but they are in a better place. He always knew what to say. He loved coming out going fishing an playing his guitar. He will be missed. Sorry for your loss Rick’s family. RIP my friend ????
