On Sunday, February 27th, Ricky Cotten tragically lost his life. He was only 38 years old, and his passing was sudden, violent, and unexpected. He is survived by his son, Aaron, and his mother Sheila. Miss Sheila is a sweet, Christian lady who attends our church. Unfortunately, she has no funds for funeral expenses, though she will be responsible for his burial.

Miss Sheila shared some thoughts about her beloved son with us: “Ricky was kind, generous, loving, and funny. He had a huge heart, and would give the shirt off his back to a stranger.”

We sorrow with miss Sheila as she grieves her son, and ask that anyone that can contribute to alleviate the financial burden this tragedy will lay upon her family do so.
