RICK SWEETERS

Rick was the kind of man who made the world feel steady. The kind of man whose presence alone could quiet the chaos, whose laughter could turn a bad day into a bearable one. He wasn’t just someone you knew—he was someone you counted on, someone you carried with you long after the conversation ended, long after the years passed.

To love him was to have a safe place to land. To know him was to know generosity, loyalty, and the simple joy of just being together. And if there was one wish, one impossible request, it would be for more time. Not just one more moment, but all of them. Every moment.

"I love you always and forever," his family wants him to know. Words that were said in life and now whispered into the silence left behind. Words that will never fade. Because love like that doesn’t end—it stretches beyond time, beyond loss, beyond the limits of what we can see.
