He was a 1995 graduate of North Miami High School and attended Joliet Junior College where studied culinary arts to become a sous chef.  He loved cars and sound systems and belonged to a car club in Joliet, Illinois.  He loved going to car shows with his late mother and his children.  Rickey was a legend in his own right.  He had a wicked sense of humor and never hesitated telling it how it was.  Recently, Rickey connected with God and made peace with Him.
