Ricky was born April 21, 1974, in Redlands California. He lived most of his life in the pass area between Beaumont, Yucaipa CA. Moved to Joshua Tree in 2006 and spent the remainder of his life there.
He worked in construction for his uncle most of his working years. He really loved the work he was doing.
He had a huge heart and if he decided you were one of the people, he loved he did so with all of his heart. He spent many years helping out others less fortunate than him, always said in that respect his momma taught him right. Always willing to feed others and give the shirt off of his back. At Christmas time his house would be full of others who had no place to go or no food to eat. He gave of himself with a heart full of love.
He spent much of his time praying and working on his relationship with God and taking care of others.
There will be a private memorial service for immediate family only. He is going to be so missed.
