Dear family and friends,

Our family is mourning the sudden loss of our beloved son, grandson, nephew, brother and uncle, Ricky. He was so full of life and could always be found with such a genuine smile that could light up any room. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. Our Ricky was so loved by his siblings Desiree, Karina, Eric, Angel and his family.

It is with a heavy heart that we share that we have lost our beloved Ricky to his struggle with mental health. These days it is hard to look back and realize how much our beloved Ricky was really suffering. We were not aware of the severity of his mental state and unfortunately for us we did not see the red flags.

I share this all in the hopes that everyone reading this is able to reach out to a loved one or if you yourself, find yourself alone please find help and remember you do not have to go through this alone.

We are absolutely devastated by Ricky’s sudden passing and are struggling to find the funds to cover funeral expenses. Please consider donating if you are able to do so. We know times are really hard especially with the holidays, please know that every little bit helps even if you are just able to share this link. We are so very grateful for every donation during this difficult time. Most importantly please reach out to those you love and tell them just how much you care and love them.

We love you so much Ricky!

With love, the family
