Your extended family is raising funds for Barbara and the Lamot family after the heartbreaking loss of Ricky Lamot, whose life was taken on September 30, 2026. Ricky has had his final match. Ricky tried to help during a violent situation involving a coworker, and in doing so, he lost his life. That choice reflects exactly who Ricky was: a selfless person who would do anything for anyone.

Ricky was a devoted husband to Barbara and a loving father to Preston and Hailey. He was also a son, brother, friend, boss, and coach who gave everything he had to the people around him. As a wrestling coach, Ricky knew what it meant to battle for the people beside him, and that is exactly how he lived his life every day.

This fundraiser is to help Barbara and the family with the financial burdens that come with this loss, including funeral arrangements, groceries, bills, and other unexpected expenses. The hope is to give them support as they face the difficult days ahead.

Please consider donating if you can, or sharing this fundraiser with others. Ricky was always there for people, and now it's our turn to be there for Barbara, Preston, Hailey, and the whole Lamot family. In Ricky’s honor, your extended family will keep going every round, do everything possible to win, to support the people he loved most, and make him proud.
