Richard "Ricky" Steven J. Lacey

Rick was a force that was larger than life. He loved his family with all of his heart, especially his four children. His children were the light of his life. Rick loved being in the outdoors, especially near the water. He loved to go camping, riding dirt bikes, deep sea fishing and spending time with his family.

You could not miss Rick whenever he was near. He was born with a big personality and an even bigger heart. We all feel he was born this way because the universe knew his time here was short, and it had to make sure he made the most impact on our lives in the short time he was with us. His huge smile, bear hugs, laughter and love, that are now even larger than life, fill the heavens above and spill out to our hearts below.

Richard is survived by his children Danika, Kellen, Jensen and Rowan; his life partner Jennifer Ruth; his parents Steven and Vikki Lacey; his two sisters, Heather (Kevin) and Jennifer (Ryan); his grandparents, Jimmie Bamburg, and Richard and Patricia Lacey; his aunts, Kathy (Mark) Lacey-Wiley and Susan Haas; and many more aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who loved him.

Preceding him in death are his grandmother, Sarann Bamburg and his beloved angel baby Mikael.

Funeral services will be at Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Griffin Memorial Park on January 11, 2020 at 2pm. Friends and family are welcome, and are asked to bring a picture or a written memory of Rick so a memory book can be put together for his children. While flowers are appreciated, in lieu of flowers the family asks you to donate to a local children’s charity in his memory.
