I remember we came into town and we were going to Sea World. Ricardo told us,be sure to see the Penguins, they are my favorite. He immediatly put his hands under his armpits and started to flap his elbows.Everytime I see a Penguin or somebody mentions it I have that VIVID picture of Ricardo walking around flapping his elbows.

My dear friend Eva, Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have met your beloved son Rico. I was impressed & inspired by his love for the arts. We talked like we had known each other all his young life. My deepest & saddest regret is that my sons never got the chance to meet Rico. They would have loved him too. Only God knows why…but as a mother I hurt for you. The world has suffered a tremendous loss. I will forever cherish that time I spent with you and Rico. He was such a sweet, gentle soul. God bless you and Loren. Me and my boys will always be here for the both of you.
I will always remember the two and half years we spent together and you were always my friend since we parted ways. I will miss you dearly and you will always be in my memories.
Ricardo, it’s hard for me to see you go. But it makes it easier knowing that while it has always been clear that when someone dies their life ends, it less clear what constitutes the ending of a person’s life. Though you may have left this earth physically, you will live on in our memories and in our hearts. I love you bro, and I always will. You will be missed.
i knew Ricardo since we were little kids riding the elementary bus. i was friends with him for a very long time. i have soooo many memories with ricardo and i will never forget him. its sad that he is gone but i am thankful for the time i had with him because i grew up as a person with ricardo and i loved him as a brother. all you ever did was try to make people laugh and you were truly a good person. ricardo, i will never forget you.
“remember that tıme we went to Baton Rouge”. I only knew you brıefly but I won`t forget you. RIP brother.
My deepest condolences to you Eva and Loren. I met Ricardo before his teenage years and will always remeber him as a very polite and special person. Being the mother of three boys myself, (24, 23 and 20) plenty of times we discussed our struggles as mothers but also the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that we as mothers endure. May God Bless you and Loren always.
My condolences to the family. We will miss Ricardo
When the heart weeps for what it has lost, the soul laughs for what it has found. Ricardo was a man who loved to laugh, and he loved to make people laugh. Ive known him since 2001, we used to get into trouble together and make comic books. We had endless good times with Ricardo and our crew, that I will cherish until I perish. My deepest condolences to his family. He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupry ~
Our condolences to the family and prayers. In Jesus name May the Lord God Bless you and comfort you. From Martin, Cindy, Gabriella Segura
Ricardo and I seemed to come from different worlds, but it was his amazing sense of humor that helped us make a connection. My fondest memories come from the road trip we took to New Orleans and the time he spent in Austin with Gina. Ricardo was a sweet boy who had the gift of making you smile even if you didn’t feel like smiling, you just couldn’t help it. You shall be missed.
Ricardo and i knew each other for about a year and a half. Having him as a roommate for a while and us coming from the same walks of life, we became very close. The things that bonded us were our taste in music, clothes, girls and overall attitude. Ricardo had a great attitude towards everyone and was loved by everyone. We had our differences here and there, but always ended up hugging and laughing. His laugh would make me smile. His jokes and overall humor got me through some of my hardest days. “I love you Brutha” is what he would say before we hung up on the phone. And a brother is what he was and will remain forever to me. In our taste in music, one of our favorite quotes was “Friends, Family, Forever”. That is what we were about. I will never forget my friend Ricardo and neither will any of the people who knew him. I could go on forever about our good times, and how great he was, but for now i guess all i can say is I Love You Brutha. i miss you. We will meet again, Trey
My condolences and prayers to you and your family.
Ricardo and I knew each other for more that 6 years. He would do anything for his friends and was an inspiration to us all. His wit, humor, art, music, fashion is unforgettable,and will always be remembered. Greatest memories were our trips to Waco and Austin on numerous occasions, all the shows that we went to, and all the classic conversations in between. Ricardo, I will never forget you.
Eva and Loren- Words cannot heal the pain of losing someone so dear! May God give you the strength to overcome the pain. Remember for every tear you cry God holds in his hands. `Love You, Yvonne,Matthew and Michael
Ive known Ricardo for almost 7 years and he was like no one else, he was such a great friend with an infectious laugh that I can still hear. I am very honored to have been able to call him my friend. He will be loved and missed forever.
Rico was the best friend iv ever had or ever will. We talked almost every day for 9 years. we had a language no one else knew and could speak just through our eyes. There are things that went with him and that no one will ever know.I lost a part of me i will never get back.He was was the funniest and kindest person anyone could know and i know that anyone that knew him will never know anyone like him again.Il never be complete till i see him again. I can never explain how much il miss my BEST FRIEND.
Ricardo although we did not get to see you very much we loved you and will miss you very much.You made a lot of people happy and made them smile. You will be missed greatly by your family. All your earthly troubles are over now. You can now sleep in God’s loving arms surrounded by angels. Sleep well until we are all with you in heaven.
Ricky and Eva, Our sincere sympathy on the loss of your child, Ricardo. May God Help you through the difficult days and offer you solace in His Peace. May God Bless you and all the family . The Matas
I LOVE YOU!!!
We don’t know where to even begin…we are just so glad that we had the opportunity to see Ricardo multiple times in the last few months…he was always so kind and would greet us with a hug and a smile. Our prayers and condolences go out to all of his family, friends and especially Rick and Eva…God Bless ~The Morton Family
I used to hang out with Ricardo and Marek way back in the day. We went through Boone, Rudder, and Clark together, and when I lived in Austin I seemed to run into Ricardo at all the best moments. I moved around a lot after high school, but every time I came back to San Antonio or Austin, I managed to see Ricardo and catch up. I will always cherish our thoughtful conversation about the future and the past. He had a lot of wonderful things going for him, and a lot of dreams that I wish he had more time to complete in this world. I don’t know what happens after this life ends, but I think another one begins where the soul has all the time it needs to complete its artistic journey of dreams. Ricardo, I loved you very much and this place just won’t be the same without you. Much Love.
To say Ricardo was a good person would be an understatement. He was a brother, a son, and one of my best friends. He could get by on his personality alone. He would make you laugh and keep you entertained, that’s just who Ricardo was. He was also there for me, if it was me moving for the 5th time, he was there to help. I will never forget all the memories of the parties, the concerts, or just hanging out and talking. Words are not enough to describe how much I will miss him. I love you Ricardo and you were like a brother to me.
Our prayers are with you and your daughter at this time of sorrow. We will keep Ricardo in our prayers and will have a Mass said in his name at our local church. Your Aunt Isabel also sends her condolences. Your Aunt Virgina and Uncle Rick
Sorry to hear about your son my friend god bless him and family
rico, if there is one thing i can say right now, it’s that you will TRULY be missed. ill always remember you fondly.<3 all my love to the people who cared for you in this world.
I met Ricardo in 2004. He was the first person I met in San Antonio. I do not think I could have survived my first year without him. The first words he ever said to me were ” Where did you get those Vans” It was all over after that. We spent almost everyday together. He spent the night all the time and we stayed up way too late watching zombie movies that made me queasy. Over the years he and I remained friends and I really learned a lot from Ricardo. He always made sure I lived my life to the fullest and made sure I thought about myself before others. He was an amazing person and I dont think anyone can argue that. It is really hard for me to accept that I will never hear his voice again. I will always remember everytime we hung out and everytime I pass our favorite places I will always smile thinking about him. I don’t feel there will ever be another Ricardo, at least not for me. Rest in peace my friend and save me a seat on the other side. I love you very much.
I will always treasure the times I spent with Ricardo. He was always soo fun to be around.He really enjoyed drawing and he was pretty good at it. Ricardo, Sierra, Clarissa ,and Michael were really close when they were younger. It seemed like they were starting to re new that now that they were all back in town together. It is still a shock to me that he is gone forever. I have never or will never forget that beautiful smile of his or his fantastic personality. Rick and Eva I have no words that express my sorrow for you. Just know that he was loved by all!! And we love you too.
What can i say except that i will miss you dearly. You were my friend my son my little man is what you use to say. I am sorry that you suffered about where you fitted in your dad’s life i wish i could of traded places with you. I thought my love for you would be enough to replace what was missing from your dad. I alway’s told you that you had a great family and lots of friends that loved you so and that was proven. lola & I & mambo will always have you around in spirit. Untill we meet again save me a place. your loveing mom Eva Green
My deepest sympathy for a life that ended too soon. It is comforting to know that God really cares about us, the Holy Bible says “God is healing the brokenhearted ones and binding up their painful spots”-Psalms chapter 147 verse 3. And God’s son, Jesus Christ promised, “the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” -John chapter 5 verses 28,29. Psalms chapter 37 verses 10, 29.
I just found out about the passing of Ricardo. I remember him playing at grandma’s house and his cute little face always having a smile. I am so happy that my oldest daughter, Ariana got to know her cousin while they were together for a year at Clark. Ricardo was always very nice to her and they had a lot in common. Ariana and myself will always keep Ricardo in our prayers.
you been on my mind alot lately. everytime i buy a shirt, or put on my skinny jeans, or listen to hardcore, i think of you. We were alike in so many ways, and i know we clashed here and there when we lived together, but all Brothers do. i love you and miss you. when i start djing up here i plan on reppin’ your sketchbook art, in your name. anyways brutha, look after us, and anytime im in SA i will check in with your mom. miss the old days rico…. your brother Trey
I can’t believe it’s almost been 2yrs. I think about you often…and how we used to sit on the balcony at school and talk about life and dreams. I came across some pictures you drew for me several years back…it made me wish I could show you I saved them. You’ll forever be in my heart.
Can’t Believe it’s been 8 years I miss You Everyday ♥
I’ve thought of you over the years only to recently learn of your passing. Although we were only in each other’s lives a short time, it was an important time to me. There isn’t a memory I have of us that doesn’t make me smile. From you BSing sports conversation with my dad to making it out to the Brand New show for my surprise birthday. You were special.
The pain of losing you never goes away 💔 son I miss you everyday one day we will be together in God’s paradise.
