Jesus called Ricky's name while he was home asleep. I believe his dad and mom met him at heaven's gate to welcome him to his eternal home. Ricky was a pipefitter by trade and had traveled extensively. He enjoyed seeing the salt flats as well as working on Indian reservations. From Virginia to North Dakota and many places in between he enjoyed his work, his crews, and the many places he was able to travel. One of his supervisors that was captivated by Ricky's personality and smile gave him the nickname of RICKY BOBBY (from the movie Talladega Nights) not for his racing speed, but his ever-ready smile and willingness to take on any job he was assigned. Ricky was one of the best and hardest workers on his crew, which quickly earned him the respect of supervisors and project managers.
Ricky loved the outdoors; from shooting to landscaping, he enjoyed working with his hands. He had a wonderful loving heart and touched many while here on this earth. Words cannot express our love for Ricky or the pain of loss we feel right now. We will dearly miss our Ricky and look forward to the day when we will see him again.

Ricky's mother, Annette, was my first cousin and I was about ten years old when he was born. Everyone was so excited at his birth and to see him grow into a kind-hearted, and caring youngster. I had not seen Ricky in many years after leaving Aiken for school and work. But I will remember him as the young man that welcomed you with a quick smile, a friendly disposition, expressed a concern for others, and loved his family. Time passes so quickly as years fly by. Rest in peace with God's mercy.

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 NIV
Miss Jan, there are no words to ease your pain, answer your questions or take away your disbelief. I do pray that you'll find a comfort that only God can provide, and peace in the midst of this storm. While Ricky and I have not been in touch very often in recent years, he was a good friend and a great man. Thank you for bringing him up and sharing him with us. While we had some good times and some not so good, Ricky always had that genuine smile and a way of letting others know every little thing was gonna be alright. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Ricky, you are loved and will be missed ❤
