Richy, I never got the chance to tell you how much you meant to me. I was stubborn and stupid about all of what happened in Norcross. When we first met we did not really hang out all that much. Then it was like a water faucet being turned on if you saw one you usually saw the other one. In the short 7 years that I knew you we had a lot of good memories. We may have partied and drank too much but we were just being us. I can not help but think what it would be like with you here today. When all of what happened to you was told to me I came to the hosipital the next day and saw your similing face, it was like we had not been apart for that year. In the year that we didnt speak so much happened to you and me. I kind of blamed myslef because I might have been with you the night that happened. I blame myself about alot of stuff especially about not coming to my best friends funral, I was worried about how your mom and family would receive me but that should not have mattered to me. I love you and miss you everyday man you were my brother. I often think about what our kids would be like and where we would both be today. Just know that although we had our differences for a short time you are loved and thought of everyday. I will see you on the other side man I love you. Alex

What a decent Young Man who left this world way 2 soon. I remember when he was about 7 or 8 playing Baseball in Forest Park, it was like I was watching myself, he looked and acted the same way as I did at that age. I will never 4get the last time I spoke to him when he told me "Uncle Donnie Everything is gonna be Okay" and then told me he loved me................ I know you are up in heaven with nanny and she probably watching one of your Little League Games..........Rest in Peace Little Buddy I will always love you son Uncle Donnie

I have a lot of good memories of Richy for the short time I was blessed to know him. He was so much fun to be around and always had the room full of people laughing. I guess if I had to pick out just one memory that is my favorite, it would probably be dinner and American idol (the begining of the season where all the funny ones are) those were the best times. Dinner was ready and we were all in front of the t.v laughing our butts off. Richy and Roberts laaugh just made it even better. I miss you Richy, you would be so proud. Your nephews are growing up way to fast and they are way to smart. We think about you all the time and you will NEVER be forgotten!! I will see you one day brother in law!! Love Rina

I love you Brother! I will always cherish the memories and the fun times we had! May you RIP! I will see ya one day! Love you!! Big Sis.

Richy was my only brother It is so hard to deal with him not being here anymore i loved him so much and i cant wait to see him again one day. I love you brother

Although Richy and I didn't talk everyday or hang out he was still one of the most amazing people I have ever known! I knew him since 3rd grade he was the type of person that made life memorable. Although we went to different middle schools, we picked back up in highschool as if no time had ever passed. He made me laugh nonstop, he was always upbeat, often the only reason I went to class. A couple of years ago we reconnected again as if no time had passed. I can't believe he's gone!! My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. Richy, I love you. You are always on my mind.

He was finally getting out of ICU (intensive care unit) in a few days he was going to be in a regular room in a few weeks he could come home and eat some chili he loves chili we were going to have a huge pot of chili ready for him but now that is going to happen his lung busted this evening while coughing he is now in a better place he will always be remembered he wanted to find the perfect girl and have a child it is so un-fair to him because we might get the chance to find that perfect someone and have a child he didn't he was only 24 years old he will be missed by a huge family who loved him so much and all of his friends he cared so dearly about I love you Richy love kayla
