Our family is heartbroken as we work through the unexpected loss of Ricky. At just 31 years old, his passing has left an enormous hole in the hearts of those who loved him. We are currently navigating the process of bringing him home to California, along with funeral, memorial, and final resting arrangements during this incredibly difficult time.

Ricky was deeply loved by his family. He had a sense of humor that could make people laugh unexpectedly and a sweetness that was uniquely his. The people who loved Ricky knew both his humor and the kindness he carried with him. Losing him so suddenly has left our family trying to process unimaginable grief while also handling everything that comes with such a sudden loss.

Ricky meant so much to the people who loved him, and we want to honor his memory by giving him the memorial and resting place he deserves surrounded by family and those who cared about him. For those who have asked how they can help support the family, we are deeply grateful for any contribution, prayers, or shares. Every bit of support means more to our family than we can express right now. Thank you for keeping Ricky and our family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
