Ricardo was loved by  grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Ricky was a strong fighter who never gave up even when things got hard. He was a loving, fun, joking kind of guy. He loved his rap music especially His Jada Kiss. He was very fashionable and a big sneaker nerd. Ricky loved to play his PlayStation. (Never say Xbox is better lol) Ricky loved himself some seafood but mainly his delicious lobsters. Ricky's favorite colors were red, black, green, and white. He was stubborn at times but at the same time very resourceful. He could talk his way out of any situation and would win your heart with his sweet talk, cute smile, and adorable blue eyes. He was loved by a lot of people because who couldn't love that face and sweet heart? Ricky had a very special bond with his grandmother Lydia and is aunt Belinda who always satisfied him on all his whims . He would do anything for grandma. She was his queen. He loved his family and had a very special bond with everyone in his own ways. Ricky loved spending time with his family, sharing memories and laughter, and all around just having a great time. His love he had for his siblings was unconditional and different with each of us but he loved us all in his own ways. Ricky loved kids and would have made a great dad and husband to someone. That woman would have had to have been a very special person because he was a very special man.

Ricky, we all love you in our own special way and we are going to miss you so very much. It's not goodbye but see you later.
