Ricky was shy. It took him a long time to come out of his shell and he didn't treat friendships lightly. His mom, Geri, was the most important person on the planet to him and he will forever be her baby boy. Ricky had epilepsy and passed early Saturday morning from an epileptic seizure at the age of 25. He spoke his mind (gratuitously at times... often) and would have done absolutely anything for the people he loved. At 6'5, he was the biggest, snarkiest teddy bear I had ever met, but also, the most loyal, loving, and full of worthless trivia. Funerals are expensive, so it would be really helpful if you could contribute.
