Rick loved playing basketball; he could always be found on a court mastering his skill. While attending Woodlawn High School, Rick formed many lifelong friendships which he would later call his brothers and sister: Vincent Burch, Chris Stokes, Felicia Whitehead, Brian Hitchcock, Thomas Chandler, Terry Jones and Anthony Delbridge . Rick loved driving and traveling. He combined these two passions in his career choice as an Interstate truck driver.

He also drove for HD Supply, Authority Parts Service, and Seven Eleven. To know Rick was to love him, he leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets whether family, friend or stranger. You were greeted with a smile and left holding your side from the laughter… that was Rick. How he loved his family especially the kids. He was their “Uncle Rick” the one they had the most fun with, the holiday gatherings, family reunions, cook outs being the grill master, playing cards with cousins and just lighting up the room with his charismatic personality and laughter. He loved all sports especially football, sometimes it was hard to determine who he was rooting for especially if his beloved Cowboys were on at the same time as the Ravens.
