My condolences to Ricky's family, I was his instructor at Canadian Business College. Myself and the whole class are quite thrown back, and sad. We just learned on Monday morning. He was a very bright student, easy to work with, caring, talented, and so full of promise it was a pleasure to be around him. He will be missed. Rest in Peace my friend.. say Hi to my lovely sister in heaven!!

Hi Chris and family, I was very sorry to hear of your loss. I know that Rick was loved and will be missed by all. Stay strong Chris and keep the happy memories in your heart. Please know that God is with him and all of his worries are now in the lords hands. I will be thinking and praying for you and your family today. Deepest sympathy Gail

I dated Rick back when we were both 17 years old for a little over a year and a half.During our relationship we had our ups and downs like any other teenage couple but those were some of the best years of my life.We use to party day and night and back then everything was fun and nothing really mattered.We went our seperate ways and followed our own paths but every once and a while we would speak on facebook and catch up with what was happening in eachothers lives.I will charish all of the good times we had.I hope Rick has found peace and look forward to the day when our paths cross again.

My thoughts are with Rick's family and friends in this time of mourning. I'll always remember him as a fun loving guy and a great musician. He will be dearly missed.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to friends and family of Rick.

We all had some great times with Rick as teenagers, good times that will never be forgotten and a sincerely nice guy who will never be forgotten. R.I.P Rick.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to friends and family of Ricky......Rest In Peace!
