Ricky was a loving father, son, brother and a friend to all. He never met a stranger. He worked very hard to provide for his family. Ricky enjoyed riding horses on trail rides and passing out candy canes. He never failed to show his love for his family. Ricky enjoyed riding around visiting with family and friends. He cherished spending time with his family and dearly adored his mother. He didn't care that he was "mommas' boy". Ricky will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
