I still can't believe that it's been 4 years since you left us. I miss you just as much today as the day you said good bye. I miss your laugh, your smile, your voice, your presence and most of all your hugs. I have so many good memories of our time together ❤. But it will never be the same as having you here. I miss you so much Son! 😪 You will forever be in my heart. I will always love you! ❤

My Dear Son,
It has been 2 years since you left us. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I wanted so much for you in life, and you never got to live life to it's fullest. I just wish there was a way to turn back time and change the path that you went down.  You deserved to enjoy a beautiful full life not a shortened one. You were a very special person and loved by so many. You touched so many people with your magical personality and willingness to help people. Dad and I are so proud of the young man that you became. I Love you so much and I miss you every day. Sometimes I just can't hold back the tears. One day we will be together again and I will give you a big hug! Ricky, I Love and miss you always.
Mama ❤❤❤💐 😘

Hi Ricky,
I still can't believe I'm writing this to you. I remember when you were about 9 years old and you told me that you were going to build a 12 cylinder vehicle. You explained in detail how it was all going to work. You even drew a picture of the engine for me to show all the details. I couldn't believe how smart you were at that age and how smart you grew up to be. As things changed in my life you and I became closer and more like brother and sister, than Aunt and Nephew. We laughed, had good times and we fought "A lot", but I loved you then and love you now. I have you to thank for meeting Jon. It's so hard to say goodbye because I can't believe you are not here anymore.  I miss you so much. Until we meet again.
Love Auntie Lisa ❤️

Hey buddy, I have been putting this off , because I wasn’t ready to let you go. I have been missing you so much and my heart is still so heavy since you’re early departure.  
     Watching you grow,  was such a joy, I always remember you and Aaron running around in your colorful muscle pants, lol. Watching you drive your remote control cars , that you would never let me drive, that’s ok I put o able would have crashed it.  
     Thank you for helping me so many times with my many auto projects, and the endless amounts of knowledge you shared.  Although you would always turn to me for medical info,you always looked at it as repayment; although I was alway happy to oblige, even if it was 1130 at night. I was always there for, and was happy to help you.  
     When you became a mechanic for BMW, I costantly raved about you to friends and colleagues. I was and will continue to be a proud uncle. Uncle Feebie as you would say.  May god keep you in his graces mijo, I love you so much!
Bye for now,
Uncle Steve

                           When I’m Gone

  When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile.

  Forget the unkind words I have spoken; remember some-good I have done.

  Forget I ever had heartache and remember I’ve had loads of fun.

  Forget that I have stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way

  Remember I have fought some hard battles and won.  Ere the close of the day.

  Then forget to grieve for my-going, I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just look at all the beauty god has bestowed upon us and carry me in your heart.

  Then come in the evening when the sun paints the sky in the West, stand for a few moments and remember only my best.✝️


         Rest In Peace my brother Ricky
I Love you and miss you😢

Your uncle always,
Rauly.

  

I’ve been told that that “God takes the good ones too soon”, that is hardly a comforting thought.  I’ve have been contemplating what to say in this situation and it is more heartbreaking than anticipated. 
Ricky you brought joy to many people, you accomplished your schooling goals with an effortless joy many people don’t have.  For your young age you carried yourself with an unassuming  quality and the experience and knowledge of subjects that I enjoyed seeing like cars for example.  People asked respected your opinion.  I don’t like the thought that you could have made a huge difference in this world because this world needs people like you.  
Life has ups and downs and you were taken before you made  your impact to the world but I want to say we are better to have had you in our life. 
Personally, you were the first person  in the family that made me feel welcomed. You gave me a hello hug one day that made me feel like I was part of the family, and that goes a long when you have doubts that you belong.  I am thankful for that hug and I always remember it.   You are a great  person, son, grandson, nephew, friend and the world is just cloudy without you and we lost a treasure.  See you soon watch over us please.  
Lorena <3

The last thing i need to do is apologize to you and heres the story about why. The first day of 8th grade i remember walking up to you and some of the guys and saying wutsup ricky like usual and you just glared at me. I didnt what for and as we were walking to class you said i go by rick now and i just laughed and you glared again and i was like ohh youre serious and then was like yeaa thats not gonna happen. And so every time i called you ricky you would glare until finally you just accepted it but right now ill make an exception for you and im sorry these are the circumstances but I LOVE YOU Rick! Rest easy Ricky I know you are at peace.

My Dearest Ricky,
There are no words to express the emptiness that Dad and I are feeling right now. I don't know that this feeling will ever go away. We will always cherish the wonderful memories that we have of  you. You will always be our baby boy. We thank God for the time that we did have together.  And we also ask God why our time was so short. Son we want you to know how very proud Dad and I are of  you. You made us very happy, proud parents. We were so lucky to have you for our son. You will forever be in our hearts. Not a day will go by that we won't miss you. We will miss seeing your handsome face and your beautiful smile. And we will miss your big bear hugs. ❤ Now that you are with God we ask him to watch over you always. May you be out of pain, stress and unhappiness. May you now be at peace. Until we meet again. My Wonderful Son!
All our Love,
Mom & Dad ❤

Hi, my name is Khrystina, I met Rick my junior year in Autoshop Class, soon after we started dating and enjoyed everything young teenaged love had to offer. Unfortunately, just like teenaged love, life is fleeting. Now that Rick is gone and the disbelief still lingering, the grief has settled in and stopped time, numbing all the senses and then, all the memories start flooding in. While we are distraught and drowning in tears, grief, although painful, is love. Grieving him, remembering him, knowing he faced each day with dry humor and a good attitude, is loving him. 
One of the things I loved about Rick was that no matter what version of him you got he was genuine in his approach . He would give you a perception of life that seemed infallible and be there to support yours. Go above and beyond for his family and friends and do what was needed because it was necessary. 
I will not assume to know everything about Rick or his whole life in our journey into adulthood, all I know is after all this time we still kept in touch and more frequently so this past year. Reaching out as kindred spirits and playful banter. There's not a day that goes by that I don't appreciate Rick for what he was to me. I will grieve for Rick for the rest of my fleeting life. Rest in Peace and thank you for everything. 

I'm still lost for words. I really do miss you.  I remember the first time you took me to the Polaris Cafe. It was the first time we had lunch together.  Best turkey club sandwhich I ever had!  I know they were your favorite.   The smallest things in life brought you joy.  I know you are watching over us and I was lucky to have met such a wonderful friend. I remember every time you had your lunch breaks you would go see your parents.  I know how much you loved them.   I promise I will always be there for your parents. You know if they need anything, I will always help them. You know I will always keep your memory alive for them. 

Always there when you had a problem with one of your cars.  A smile whenever your paths crossed going to or returning from a hard day at work served to brighten your day.  He will be missed, but always in our hearts.
