My sincere condolences go out to the family in your time of loss. I didn't know Ricky personally, but I wanted to share a comforting thought with you that has helped me when I've lost loved ones in death. It is what God promises in the Bible at John 5:28, 29, where he tells us, "do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (God's) voice and come out." God has promised to bring our loved ones back to life, in perfect health, and to give us the opportunity to be reunited with those we have lost in death. For you that means being able to have Rickey back. I hope this helps you cope with your loss in the days ahead.
