Rick and I met in 1999 when he was living in Pacifica, CA - my hometown. We became friends and continued it into adulthood. I was the first person he came to visit when he returned from Singapore. My condolences to his family. He was a solid friend and I’ll miss him.

Rick...you were definitely a brother from another mother.  I know we hadn’t seen each other in years, but I hope you knew how much you meant to those, who grew up with you.  You will be missed and my fervent prayers will be for your peace in this final rest and hope we see each other in the next life.

Your brother,
Brandon

Rick you were an amazing friend! I am beyond blessed to have spent times of joy and laughter with you.  You’ll always be in my heart and in my prayers. Love you Forever Friend!

I met Rick at University of Phoenix. Rick was a larger than life kind of man and I’m sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers go out to his family. I’m so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who will revive him and keep him until we all meet again.

I have known Rick for well over 15 years.  We traveled throughout Asia together.  Rick was always more concerned about the health and well being of others more than himself.  No matter the situation, I could always count on Rick for support, encouragement, advice, or a momentary reprieve from life's problems.  He was one of my closet friends, and I will miss him.  

I had the pleasure of knowing Rick, becoming a friend. Rick showed me the best hospitality, welcomed me into his life and his home. He cared for his friends, his dog Biscuit, and people. I have the best memories of Rick, as they were all positive. This will be the way I will remember you Rick. Rest In Peace big guy! You are missed! 

I have had the amazing pleasure of knowing Rick for 18 years.  He had the BIGGEST heart, sharing, caring and giving.  His level of friendship is what you look for in a friend.  He was part of a family of friends that held him close and held a concern.  Rick will be truly missed.
