So sorry for your loss.prayers for. The family
To all the family,
I was sad to hear of Ricky’s passing. So much like his Dad. I can hear his laugh, unforgettable even though it’s been so long since I have seen him. I remember my visits to ya’lls parents home so many many years ago when we were all kids and how I loved it and my sweet Teresa. I miss those days. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

The call that my beloved cousin had passed away came as a total surprise and shock. I will miss Pete’s infectious sense of humor and personality. He loved his entire family and friends very much, but most of all he loved The Lord Jesus. Like so many of us in today’s world, Pete’s life was filled with many moments of happiness, ups and unfortunately too many moments of sadness and lows, but with the help he got from his relationship with Christ he survived. Pete gave me many words of encouragement as we aged, during our not enough times and moments together. I know he is with Richard (his father) and Shirley (his mother) and our beautiful Grandmother, Cleo Gunn and others who preceded him. My prayers go out to his son and daughter, and his sisters Theresa and Melanie and his other family member\’s. Love You Pete
Sorry to hear of Ricky’s passing, will keep all the family in our thoughts and Prayers 🙏🙏
Condolences to the family. Pete was always dressed sharp and smelled nice! His demeanor was always kind and joyful. At times it’d be years between seeing him but he was always acted like no time has passed.

So sorry to hear this news. May he rest in peace.
