I have been asked by the sister of Ricky Hart to share of his unexpected and very sudden passing on July 20th.

Ricky was known to so many in our St. Johns community as the kind-hearted, always-smiling manager at Speedway. Whether you stopped in for gas, a coffee, or just passed through, chances are you were greeted by his warm spirit and teddy bear kindness. He had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for—even in the smallest moments.

Ricky would’ve given the world to anyone in need—his heart was just that big. Now it’s our turn to help give him the goodbye he deserves. If you feel led to help, donations can be sent to his sister Emily Diffin via Venmo @Emilydiffin oron here. Every little bit means so much to his family.

Thank you on behalf of the family of Ricky Hart.
