Our dear friend, Ricki Crain, recently passed from this world to heaven. He was kind, generous, funny and a faithful friend. Even in death, he exhibited Christ-like love with gifts of life-saving organs to three individuals. A donor flag will be displayed outside St. John Hospital on Wednesday, December 16, in his honor.

Above all, he was a devoted and loving dad to Rhayvn. From the moment he knew he was going to be a parent until last week when he left us, nothing else was as important to him as this sweet girl. She was the center of his heart.

If you are interested in honoring Ricki's memory, instead of sending flowers or food gifts to the family, please consider contributing to the Ricki Crain Memorial Fund, to provide the educational assistance to Rhyavn that would have been so important to Ricki in the coming years.

Ricki's family -- and extended family of close friends -- will be eternally grateful.
