Rick was the only one of us who had plans – he wanted to be a pilot and join the air force. He was smart and had a great sense of humour, a bit dark, but funny. I'm really going to miss him. He was a great man with strong ambitions who wanted to go far. It’s tragic. None of us believed it when we first heard. We built a rose garden for him at his mum and dad's place. It's called Ricky's Lair. It's a place we can go and think about him.

Miss you Rick.

Ricky died one kilometre from our dream life
