We can't put into words how very sorry we are for your loss. We didn't know Rick very well. But we've been friends of the Baumgardner family for years and heard many great things about him. He will be missed by many. The entire family is in our thoughts and prayers. Donna, Erika, & Lauren Neeley
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Debra and Walker: We cannot find the words to express our sympathy, we cannot take away your pain, but we can pray that God will take you both in his arms and hold you tight and comfort you and guide you. Our prayers are with you now and always.

I'm Ricky's tomboy cousin and we used to play together whenever my family would visit Damascus. One time Ricky came to Richmond and I tried to convince him it was more fun here by taking him to a video arcade. We had a good time, but he said the country was the only place for him. I didn't keep in touch like I should have and I'm sorry for letting that valuable time slip away. My deepest sympathy to all his loved ones. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment: I was truly blessed when I met Rick and Debra on the Saddle Valley Pack Trip in October. I spent four days in the saddle with those two and felt their love for each other. Rick truly seemed a gentle man. I wish God had given him just a little longer so I could have gotten to know him better. May the angels surround you with their love.

Comment: I did not know Rick personally. I had only seen him several times. I have known the Baumgardner family nearly nine years now. But since his death, I realize how much he was loved and how much he is missed. He must have been a special angel to whom is God's special angel now. I hope to know him in Heaven someday. God Bless you and your family.

Comment: My heart goes out to you Nancy and family, May the presence of Our Lord be with you always. God has a plan for all of us, whether it's here on earth or in heaven, and He will not give us more then what we can handle, and right now that may be unbelievable but Rick is alive in heaven and you will be with him again, let God continue with His plans for you here on earth until He is ready to reunite you with your beloved and precious son. God Bless You and your famil...Nilsa..Rockport, TX

Comment: Debra it was nice to meet you the other day. Your web site is a beautiful tribute to your husband. Maybe I will do one for David. It was nice to be able to share some of my feelings with someone who can truly understand. I read your poem pictures when you say this life does not feel like yours. I wrote almost the same line in my poem.Take Care

Comment: I was thinking about the day you were born. I was so proud of you. You were my first nephew and Mom and Dad's first Grandchild. You were special then and you will always be special be special. You touched many lives in your life time and your are still touching lives. I want you to know I love as much today as I did the day you were born. Love, Aunt Velvet
Comment: What a wonderful son Rick was. He sounds like a young man anyone would love to be around. I know how much you miss him. Remember he is always with you in your heart. We will see our boys again one day when it is our time to be called to Heaven. I know my Kevin will be right there to meet me and give me that hug I miss and need so much..
