I love you and Always will.

You took a piece of my heart with you.

Forever loved - Never replaceable.

Rick, you will be missed. I am so sorry Spunk and I can not be there. You were a great friend. Thanks for being awesome.

See you down the road my friend.

(Circus saying never say bye...)

This man was one of only a few I called my best friend. We knew each other 30 years and for the last 20, we did a lot of fun things together as friends and family. His biggest and proudest accomplishment was raising his daughter Madison to be the woman she has blossomed into. He made you feel like you could do anything and always had a laugh in store for you. He was a giver and boy did he give. He gave of himself to so many. The man has me a friendship I can never replace. If you was his friend he would do anything for you. He was a king among peasants. I will love and miss this man because he was my friend and my brother in so many ways. His influence in my life will forever be a part of me. Rest easy my brother and I will see you again...

My deepest sympathy to the family. Rick was one of a kind and taken way too early from this earth. Met him through the Hoosier Wheelers. Every time I take my doors off I will think of him.

Maddie, I didn't know your dad, but I know he raised one of the most amazing, kind hearted, smart, beautiful, young women I've ever met. I know he will always be proud of the mother and woman you are. I love you and I'm praying for you babe. I'm here if you need me.

Uncle Rick I cant believe your gone we just seen u the 4th and finding out about ur passing shocked us all... We will always remember ur goofiness and your bizarre way of telling us you love us... We will always love you....please watch over everyone! Rest with love uncle rick love your niece mariah dawn

You will be missed Rick! You always made others laugh and showed others how to enjoy life to the fullest!

I met Rick 4 years ago at Badlands Off-Road park while on a Indy Jeep Junkies monthly event. In those 4 short years we became close friends and would talk/text almost on a daily basis. So close that he would confide in me with life's issues. This jolly soul and I have broken bread together, worked on Jeeps together, vacationed together and just did nothing together. Once in Gatlinburg, the night before the morning departure for home, Rick realized that he hadn't gotten his mom a souvenir. The panic then set in! He was nearly in tears. We tore up the shops at near closing time of the town, scrambling for that perfect Mom gift. We found it!!! He was relieved. This guy loved him Mom. I will miss you Buddy. RIP

To the family please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. May you take comfort from the scriptures that soon all sickness and death will come to an end. Isaiah 25:8, Revelation 21:3,4

I met Rick when we were in our 20s...he was a dj in a bar way back when. Always there to make you smile and his smile was so very infectious.

Rick my friend you will always be in my heart.

I know you will be watching down on all of us.

God must have needed a really special angel to call you up so soon.

I have a lot of great memories of Rick, We started Latest Craze an had alot of fun at different shows. As we grew older we went different ways but everytime we seen each other it was like we was brothers , he even called me his twin a few time...lol. I sorry for the loss he was truly a great soul. I will remember him always.....Love ya Rick see you when I get there.
