He also left behind his Son in Law Jeff Reyes and Grand babies Oliver Orion Reyes and Juniper Janeen Reyes. He also leaves his Brother in laws, sister in law, nieces, cousins and friends. Rick also leaves behind his pets Lily(Cat) and Nina(Dog). He had a strong love for animals and was excited to begin his new career as an animal control officer for the police department in desert hot springs. Having a degree in biology, he loved nature and being outdoors and always had a science or animal fact to share with us. Another love he had was music and poetry, a love that he shared with his son and daughter and then passed down to his grandson. He wrote many notebooks filled with his poetry. Rick was a simple soul and a free spirit with the greatest sense of humor. He enjoyed the simple things in life and didn’t care what others thought about him. The only thing that mattered to him was the happiness of his family and pets. He never once complained about anything and was a great babysitter for his grandkids and the only thing he wanted in return was their joy and love (and maybe a few Del taco burritos as payment). With all the time he spent with his grandson, Ollie became his best friend. We will miss his simplicity and the overabundance of love he shared with all of us. We will miss and love you forever and always.
