– Here Are a Few Words From his Loved Ones –
Deana: Ricky was the love of my life. He was selfless and his heart for others was huge. He was the most loving husband and father. He fulfilled our every need in every way and told me every day that I was his everything . He was hard working, smart and could fix anything. He was ornery & hilarious. If he wasn’t pouring cold water over the shower he was sneaking his phone around the corner to take a picture of me on the toilet. Everything he did was for us as a family. We were both striving toward working less and being home more. His goal was to be successful and live on a Yacht in Ft. Lauderdale. There will never be another like him.
McKenna: Although he is not here physically he will always be here by our side every step of the way.
Sloan: Can we please pray for my daddy? I miss his hugs.
Rick Sr: We will always remember an unending smile, laugh and a big heart. He loved us all and we loved him, we will never forget his devotion to his family and his friends. His race is over and we patiently await our reunion with him in the resurrection. We love you Ricky forever.
Christie: Ricky always had an arsenal of jokes. The fun always started when he got there. He was always concerned about others before himself. He had the funniest most contagious laugh. Ricky was always up to something. If he wasn’t dropping an 8 pound monkey wrench on my dads toe, he was trying to kiss my dad on the lips to irritate him. One day my dad fell off a ladder and Ricky’s first words were “ I hope you didn’t break your hip” like my dad was ancient and my dad was so pissed. Ricky fell out of the back of a truck not to long after that and all dad said was “ I hope you didn’t break your hip”. I loved him more than he knew.
Emma: He was always so kind and funny even when he wasn’t trying .

So so sorry to hear this. I hadn’t seen Ricky in years, but when I would run into him, always a smile and a hug. Prayers to his family 🙏
Paul & Cassie Roberdes says
We loved Ricky and miss him! Paul was close to Ricky and is distraught and wishes he would have known his hurt. He knew how much Ricky loved his family! We are deeply sorry to his family for the loss of Ricky! Our hearts are hurting! This world was a better place the last 50 years he was in it.
Derrick Piersol says
I’ve known Ricky for 30 years and he treated me like a lifelong friend right from the beginning. When I started out in the hail repair business he always made sure I had a place to stay if we were on the road and was the first one to buy me a beer after work. His laugh and jokes were a perfect compliment to his great storytelling. Whether it was watching him arm wrestle Marines in a Las Vegas casino or singing karaoke to George Strait in a West Texas bar, going out on the town with Rick was always a blast. I would talk football and Rick would pretend to know what I was talking about while playing the 4th game of Golden Tee. I’ll miss our conversations about politics, investing, and our shared dread of the upcoming years when our daughters would be teenagers. My heart breaks for his family and all of his ‘dent brothers.’ Rick was a good friend and I’m a lucky person to have known him.
Chris Nance says
Nothing but good memories, my heart aches, send our love and prayers to the family. Never a dull moment with him around. Even though I was younger he never made me feel out of place and treated me like a little brother when I was around. Wish we were closer. May his smile live on with us.

Addison Trojanowski says
He never failed to tell me how beautiful I was every time I saw him. He was such a funny guy. I remember him my whole childhood just making me laugh whenever he was around. Whether it was mocking/making fun of my dad or just his jokes in general. My hearts hurts and I’ll be thinking about how much his family and mine is hurting. So much condolences to his wife, babies, father, sister and all his brothers not by blood but by heart.
Nathan Williams says
I have known Rick about 13 years and can say some of my most memorable moments in life is when we hung out he was truly my best friend and will always love him as my brother “as he would always say”. I remember him asking us in the shop what we wanted for Christmas and I said a box of chocolate cherries lol he seemed surprised, he returned with two huge bags filled with boxes of them saying “I bought all the store had”. He will be dearly missed
Calaeb Roland says
Man, Rick … I’m so sorry … 😢
Rick and I grew apart over the last few years and cannot tell you how much I regret that ..
I loved Rick like an older brother. We used to have a blast! Lots of great memories and a laugh that was super contagious. My heart hurts for him and his family. I wish I could go back in time and tell him how much he meant to me and my family. We all loved him.
Till we meet again old friend 💔
Shonna Hammon says
Much love to his whole family! Rick was a teenage friend and we hung out a lot in the early ‘90’s. We’d only spoken a few times in the last decades. I know he treasured his family more than anything. This is so shocking because he seemed immortal. Rick was the kind of guy you hoped showed up because it would be a guaranteed fun time. He’d make you laugh until it hurt. Business smart, generous, funny, handsome, charming, manners, a good dancer. He had the “it” factor. And underneath it all very sensitive. I hope everyone finds comfort in knowing how much he was loved and all the memories!
Katrina Glover says
Deanna truly sorry for your loss, I am sending prayers up for you and your family!
Allen Howell says
I wanted to leave a message to Rick’s family. My name is Allen Howell I am from Philadelphia Mississippi. I met Rick 10 years ago or so in Oklahoma City. I was working for an insurance company as an adjuster and he helped me write estimates for PDR. He and I immediately hit it off and became instant friends. We kept up through the years and I had talked to him probably four or five months ago. Anytime I needed a boost of positivity or a laugh, I would call Rick. He always made me feel like I am a better person than I think I am. He had that kind of affect on everybody. He will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him. Prayers for his family and friends that had the great fortune of being around him on a daily basis.
Michael King says
Im a friend of Rick’s from the auto industry, he was a very great guy and I’m sorry for your family’s loss
Matthew Caldwell says
Sorry it’s late just found out today. I loved Rick and will always consider him a friend. He was a part of my life since I started in the automotive industry. I’m sad to hear of his passing but I will never forget what he meant to me. His smile and laugh were infectious. He was the kindest and best person I’ve ever known. I will miss him dearly. My love goes to his family and all his friends who feel the same hurt. RIP Tricky you will always remind me me of the man and father I want to be.
