I will always remember Ricky. We were first cousins. We played under the beech tree at Maw Plemmons. Gerald.
Praying for his family.

My love and prayers to each of you.
I also met Rick on my very first Farm Bureau fishing trip nine years ago. He was so nice that day and made me feel right at home. He remembered my name and spoke to me at every event after that. He was a very genuine guy and it showed. Sending prayers for all of you during this time!
I have fond memories of Ricky. We were in the same class, and went to school together for 12 years. We also rode the same school bus. I just remember him being the nicest guy and always wearing a smile. I followed him on FB and always smiled at his love for TN and fishing. I hope good memories will comfort his family and I will keep you all in my prayers.
