My condolences to Rick's family and friends.  It pains me to hear of Rick's passing.  While we lost touch after high school, Rick was/is always present in my memories of high school.  I met Rick through skateboarding early in HS and we hit it off immediately.   He was an incredible skateboarder, very passionate and always had a great attitude.  He loved his friends, family and where he came from.  He was one of the good guys.  Rick, I'll always remember you on a skateboard.  Shredding the ditches on the West side, tearing up the empty Hacienda pool or soaring through the air on the half pipes we used to build and find all over the city.  You turned heads everywhere we went.  May you now rest in peace, my friend.  When we meet again, I hope we can both grab a skateboard and ride again.

I was privileged to call Ricky a friend. He always made everyone smile and everyone was always happy to see him. Although I had not seen him in several years, I know he will be missed dearly, especially by his loved ones. Rest in peace and may God bless your entire family. Thank you for being an awesome person and friend.

Bonnie- My deepest sympathy for your loss- you need only look in your heart to find what is lost.

Forever in our thoughts and hearts. Prayers, we Love you so very much!
