Ricky enjoyed riding in his boat, fishing, and riding his motorcycle. He was a talented musician who loved playing guitar, banjo, harmonica, drums, and singing with local bands in Maurepas. He was also known for cooking award-winning pots of jambalaya. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, especially his nephew Chad, who was his “best bud.”

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at OLOL who cared for Ricky in his final days. A special thank you to Jennifer and Jeff Persac, and Mary Jennings, for all they have done to help Ricky over the last few years. The family also extends heartfelt gratitude to his best friend, Mario Rodriguez, for calling every day to check on him and make sure he was okay.
