My prayers are with the Gilyard and Kicklighter families. Ricky will always be remembered for his kind heart and great smile. One of most favorite memories is when we were playing football in his backyard I was playing reciever and Ricky was covering me and when the was ball hiked I went forward and Ricky slipped and his head hit me in the nose. It upset him so bad he had tears in his eyes. I looked at him with my nose on the side face and started to laugh which made laugh also. That will always be my favorite moment ❤️. Love you Ricky!!!!!!

Dear sweet Paula,
Oh how our hearts ache for you. We love you and Ricky so much. You will be in our prayers as we ask God to give you the strength to carry on as Ricky would want you to. 
There have been many people at EBC ask myself and Larry  to let you know how sorry they are to hear of Ricky's passing. 
Proverbs 3:5-6   

May God love and bless you in ways only He can do, 
Larry and Beverly Gillard


Paula, Tyler, and family The loss of a husband, Father, and in-law can be a devastating and overwhelming experience, and it’s often impossible to find the right words to offer support. But as the bereaved experience their darkest hours, it’s not the time to hold back on your emotions. Cry and cry loud  and when you finish crying; think about the things that made you laugh out loud and laugh louder. May God comfort each of you at this time. Love Much Forgive Quickly 
Brynda Waters and Family
