From "About Ricky" by the Dyer Family
Words can't describe Ricky, but words are all we have. Ricky was kind, loving, thoughtful, a great son, brother, and grandson; he was a special person.
Ricky would bring home flowers to his mother or take time to rent her favorite movies, as his dad worked early hours and went to bed early. Ricky would call from work and offer to bring something for "us" to watch.
Another time the family will never forget, Ricky stood in line for hours to buy Garth Brook tickets. Ricky was the greatest; he would do just about anything for you.
Ricky was ten years old when he got his first gun, he always thought it was the best time in his life. He learned to clean his gun and took special care of it. His favorite activities were hunting, fishing, bowling, and collecting Indian artifacts.
When you were down, Ricky was there for you. He knew how to pick you up, he had all the right words and a twinkle in his eyes. For everyone who knew him, he had a lot of spirit and a lot of love.
He couldn't love his brother and sisters enough. There wasn't one thing he wouldn't do for them. He cherished his time with them; they stuck together in school.
Ricky was a very special person and we will miss his wonderful carefree way of life where he touched all our lives. As a son, he was always there for us, as well. When he first moved to Sparks, Nevada, we were short of money. He went to work and brought his paycheck home to us, insisting we use it. He did this for two years, never wanting and again, insisting we stick together and help each other.
You could count on Ricky, he was for you no matter who you were.
We bought Ricky a new shotgun and gun cover in 1992 and he'd go to the gun range and shoot his shotgun. He took good care of his gun, keeping the cover on so it wouldn't get scratched. He took pride in his shotgun.
Ricky was also a terrific grandson. He loved his grandparents - all of them. If the grandparents were in need, he was there for them. He'd work and hunt on his grandparents' ranch each summer.
To his friends, neighbors, workers, and family, he will be missed by all of them. He touched people's lives. We all have happy memories. He had God given qualities.
