Rick’s brother-in-law, John S. Martin, expressed the family’s grief on Facebook, stating, "This is my brother-in-law; he passed away without any warning at all Tuesday the 6th. We are all devastated by this loss; any help would truly be appreciated." The outpouring of support continued, with friends and family leaving heartfelt messages.
