As the eldest of our siblings and the only male to 4 younger females, you were the best big brother a girl could ever have. You called us regularly and came to visit when you could. We knew that you loved us and when we needed you, you were there. Big brother you will be missed

Rest easy Cuz you have earned it. Tried calling but you were preparing to cross the River Jordan into Glory, where your Mom, Sister, Grandmother and the rest of our ancestors await. Also a few of your friends, especially Big Sam (your other Brother). I will miss our calls, but KNOW I will join you and Family in Glory at the Resurrection. Love you Cuz.

Rickey was my first cousin who came to live with our grandmother, Mary Sweet, in Panama City FL as a young kid of about 8 or 10 years old. The family welcomed him to his new home and spent much time with him helping him to develop into a fine young man. I personally spent much time with him so he became more like a little brother to me. We stayed in touch over the years and enjoyed talking with and kidding each other. I love and miss him and pray that the Lord bless and keep him safe until we meet again. Austin Ming
