I remember Ricky from when he worked at his dad's transmission shop on
Nogalitos Rd. My son, Brady Newman, worked there as well (it was one of his first jobs). Ricky always had a smile on his face and a good attitude. So very sorry to learn of his passing; it was way too soon. Ricky, you'll always be remembered. Bobby, I'm so sorry - can't imagine how hard it is for you to lose a son.
Thank you for the dance at Kenedi and Colton’s wedding . May you RIP.

I had a thing written and somehow I lost it. So here I go again. One of my FAVORITE memories is what he would be doing right as I told him I posted his tribute and had to rewrite: he would close that one eye and look right at me lol it was his signature look I’m certain everyone has seen! I met Ricky while back I am one of his neighbors. My daughter lives in the complex as well. She told me one day,” mom Theres a nice looking older man that lives over there on other side” Well let me tell ya he was hard to track down to even talk or introduce myself. His truck would be there at all kinds of different hours. I finally ran into him outside taking trash and got the nerve up and talked to him. He asked me over for dinner and over I went. That man served me like I was royalty. We stepped on back porch, listened to 80’s hair bands ( loved that he loved “my” music!!) and we talked and talked and talked. A movie came up in conversation and I said I’d never seen it. Well there we go back in apartment he started that movie. It was like 11:00 pm and I told him I am old and tired and idk if could stay up for that whole movie. Well I was right. I fell asleep in the recliner. I woke up 6:00 am next morning and was like oh no! But he had covered me with a nice blanket and then I look over and there he was in other recliner. Asleep. He was such a gentleman! He always was serving me and if anyone came over serving them too. That was gift ….. gift of service. I truly
Believe that. Theres so many memories I could write a small book but the main ones are dancing, singing, meeting and hanging out with his fabulous family, eating barbacoa and big red for the first time ever, whooping him in dominoes first time he taught me how to play! Of course he have me that stank eye and told me he didn’t believe I didn’t know how to play lol we just had fun in everything we did. Many many great memories! Love you Ricky “Bobby” and you will always have a huge part of my heart sir! I promise you that. My birthday will never be the same it’s gonna always be about you! I promise you that! Not a day that you passed but a day I’ll celebrate you BIG!!!!
Ricky was an angel. When we first met him, I was pregnant with my son, and he would basically serve me my dinner on a golden plate. He loved cooking/grilling, and always made sure everyone was fed before himself. Once my son was born, he would hold him standing up and rocking him to get him to sleep, all while singing him his favorite George strait songs. We love and miss Ricky so much. Such a generous and thoughtful man. He loved talking everything guns, grills, and movies.
I was the front neighbor to Mr. Jones. I would call him that he would always tell me “please, Ricky”! I said okay sir. LOL
We would always say hello to each other and make small talk. He had some crazy work hours as well and he let me know that up front. He was the nicest guy. And always smiling. I will miss him very much. To his family, I’m so sorry! You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
God Bless and Hugs
Love you brother… thanks for ALL of the great times we shared. From the Yahoo chat rooms to the Missouri meet-up. You will be missed terribly by everyone that blessed to know you.
