Rick was a person that never complained, he was always happy and looking forward to the day. He
loved his family and you could'nt find a better friend. He was kind and good, and followed the
teaching of Jesus. He kept his life simple, that made for less stress. He rode a bicycle everywhere
he went and always kept his bible in his backpack. He had the best heartedly laughs, could always
find humor in the simpliest things. His mind was always occupied with electronics, cars, music, and
reading. He designed and built models of cars and motorcycles out of scraps of paper and they are
our treasures now. He loved working with his dad, mom, brothers Nicholas and Nathan, and sister
Stacy at our family business. We miss his beautiful smile, warm hugs, long conversions, and great
advice on life. We all love Bob Seger and just like it says he was strong as he could be and
something to see. We all have broken hearts with you gone now, we love you so much. We know you are
looking down from heaven and giving us strength to go through the days. You are truely are beautiful
angel now. It is never going to be goodbye, its see you later Rick. We all love and miss you so
much...

YOU HAD SO MUCH LEFT TO DO, SO MANY MORE FRIENDS TO MAKE, A WIFE TO HAVE AS A BEST FRIEND, TO HAVE CHILDREN WITH, ALOT OF NEW THINGS TO EXPLORE. RICK I LOOK AT THINGS NOW IN A VERY DIFFERENT WAY THAN I DID BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IDONT LOOK AT THINGS BEING AS IMPORTANT AS THEY ONCE WERE, I LOOK TO THE SKYS NOT MUCH THERE . AS I GAZE ACROSS THE HORIZON I DONT SEE ANY THING ANY MORE, JUST EMTINESS, IT SHOULDNT BE THAT WAY BUT IT IS. IM HOPING THIS GETS RESOLVED VERY FAST, IM AT MY WITS END. I NEED SOME ANSWERS NOW. YOU ARE IN MY HEART EVERY DAY, THAT WILL NEVER END RICK, LOVE DAD.

TO MY SON RICK
RICK I WAS JUST GOING THROUGH THE OEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH IN AZ. YOURE FAMILY IF IT SHOULD COME TO THIS, DOESNT SEEM TO WANT THAT, I DO. I NEVER WANT THIS S. O. B. TO EVER HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH HIS FAMILY OR CHILDREN, EVER AGAIN IN HIS LIFE. I KNOW THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD WANT, I KNEW YOURE STANCE ON PEOPLE THAT DID THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND THATS WHAT IT SHOULD BE. THE ATTORNEY THAT WERE WATING FOR IS ON A DEATH CASE NOW, SHOULD BE DONE SHORTLY, THEN WE WILL GO FROM THERE . THEY HAD A CHANCE TO WALK AWAY BUT ELECTED TO KILL YOU MY SON OF ALL PEOPLE, NO MERCY FOR THEM NOW OR FOREVER AS LONG AS IM ALIVE. LOVE AND MISS YOU. DAD
TO MY SON RICK

RICK I DONT KNOW IF ILL EVER PUT THIS TO REST, IT JUST SENCELESS NOW, I WANT TO KNOW WHY, ILL WAIT FOR THE TIME TO KNOW. NATHAN MADE MENTION HOW MUCH IVE CHANGED OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS, NOT FOR THE BETTER I GUESS. ITS NOT RIGHT THAT A FATHER SHOULD GO THROUGH THIS HEARTBREAK EVER LET ALONE 3 TIMES, BUT ILL GET MUCH STRONGER AS THIS TRIAL DATE GETS NEAR, I WILL STAY STRONG FOR YOU WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. I HOPE WHEN IM CALLED TO LEAVE THIS PLACE, THAT IT WILL BE YOU THAT COMES FOR ME. LOVE YOURE FATHER
To my bro
Hi Rick,
I havent been able to sleep well in awhile , I miss you so much. I miss your smile and laughter. How are we suppose to get through Thankgiving and Christmas without you. My heart is completely broken and the same goes for the rest of the family. We want to get justice for you bro but court is going to be so difficult, watch over all of us we will need your strength. I cry all the time hoping that I will wake up soon and you are still here. Unfortunately this is not the case instead I'm in a nightmare. Why did this have to happened to you, I just keep going over and over in my head. I hope heaven is everything we have talked about beautiful and peaceful. You and Kent are together right? Waiting for the rest of us to join...we miss you both so much. Im sure Kent is showing you the ropes in heaven and how it operates...I love you both so much. Please you two be there for us our journey has just begun. Thinking of you two always, your only sis
TO MY SON RICK
Just a few things to say. I think maybe next week we will fine out the cowards that did this terrible thing to a good person.I dont know Iam going to react to every thing. but I suppose the devistating pain will all start again for all of us. I hope youre mother will be ok . I worry about her. its hard for a mother to loose a child under any conditions, let alone this kind of loss. As i said from the begining of this nitemare i will be there for you. you will not just be a name in a courtroom, I want these animals to fully understand what they did to youre family. i want them to sit in prison for the rest of there lives. they dont even know the emtyness they have put in our lives. The thing that bothers me the most, is i know youre never coming home to us ever again RICK. WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. STACY, NICK, NATHAN, MOM, DAD. GOOD NITE HAVE A PEACEFUL SLEEP.
