Condolence: I only got to know Rick when our daughters played middle school volleyball together. Always looked forward to hanging out with him during the matches - such a great guy, easy conversationalist and I could tell he loved his daughter! I m sorry for your family’s loss and may Christ comfort you with his strength and compassion. Gordon Herring Gordon Herring

Condolence: Rick was a wonderful and fun person. I am sorry for your loss.

Condolence: I pray the Lord God will carry all your family throughout this time of loss. It is good Rick had found the Lord in his life time. My dad Dave Elkin, Jr., his brother I had the great joy of leading him to the Lord. He passed away in December 2013 at 76. We prayed 🙏🏻 for Uncle Rick and all his children often and their mothers. It will be wonderful these brothers will be in heaven with their father and a wonderful step mother and their Heavenly Father. The video was so beautiful and to see how loving and happy Rick was. Remember your memories for they are your treasures. God bless you all on your journeys in this precious life.

Condolence: My condolences to the family. I enjoyed looking at the video and was pleased to see Uncle Rick was happy and well loved. May you find comfort in your memories in the days ahead. - Rhonda Elkin Norton

Condolence: Grandpa,

I will never forget how much you loved us. Never forget the times when all you wanted was to be around family and be at our events. Thank you for being the best grandpa and for showing me how to be compassionate and respectful. I know this isn’t goodbye. You may be gone, but you will never be forgetten.

Love, Kami

Condolence: Rick, HB Plant High teammate & boyhood friend of memory. The past tries to escape me more every day, but our time together on the field & on Tampa Bay in my dad's sailboat keeps me happy in recollection. So there you'll stay - always - a piece of my life I can bring to the front. Thanks, Buddy, I'll not forget....God Bless. Hilby (John Hilburn) PHS '63

Condolence: Dad, I will miss all the times we shared together, I will miss arguing with you, because that’s what we did. We are so much alike! You were a gentle soul, rough around the edges. That’s what made you you.You loved us kids unconditionally, no matter what. That’s what you cared about the most, is us! We thank you for all you sacrifices. We would be nothing without you today, you molded us. I’m at peace, knowing you are now. I will always always miss you, and love you to eternity. Till I see you again, RIP.


Love your baby girl!

Condolence: We are deeply saddened by the lost of our friend Rick. We will miss the times we spent together playing cards, watching Texas A&M football games and going to concerts. We will always keep these memories in our heart.
