Special thanks to our daughter/sister Jenny for taking care of our son/brother’s needs for many years and thank you to his current Care Provider Luisa.
Ricardo enjoyed visiting and spending time with his mother in Trinidad as much as possible. He would call his momma every morning by 9 a.m. to check on her. He loved his momma unconditionally.
Ricardo also enjoyed listening to Friday Night (KCRT) Power Surge with Bobby Herrera, Eli DeBono & the crew from KCRT. He also enjoyed listening to KRTN radio for all of his daily news, songs, and local information. His favorite band of all time was KISS. Ricardo was fascinated by rock bands and could name band members, songs, and albums with no problem. He attended many concerts in his lifetime. The very last concert he attended was Motley Crüe in Albuquerque, NM with his brother-in-law Ernie.
Ricardo enjoyed life to the fullest; he loved all of his family very much. He will truly be missed because he was a very big part of our lives.
Because of Ricardo’s (Sparky) love for music, we would like friends & family to wear a rock band t-shirt of your choice.
Special thanks to Dr. Leonardo Lopez MD, staff, and MCMC hospital (Raton) for the great care provided to Ricardo. Thank you to Kitsy and Comi funeral home for their comfort during this difficult time. God Bless.
