During his time on earth, Ricky touched many lives and made a lot of friends. Whether you knew him all his life or just a few minutes, he considered you a friend. We are touched by so many of you reaching out to the family with your kind words, prayers, love and support. Nobody could do hair like him!! We will not only miss his talent at doing hair, but his laugh, kindness, willingness to help, smile, personality, the way he genuinely cared about others, and just his presence!! He was a devoted son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend who will be missed by all he met.

Friends of Ricky and his family are doing fund raisers to help with the expenses! All money from fundraisers and donations can be taken to Baca’s Funeral Chapel in Deming, NM. He was cremated and a Celebration of Ricky’s Life will take place at a later time. As soon as it is planned, we will announce the date, time, and place on Facebook so please keep an eye out!! We want as many of his friends and family there as possible.
