• Rickardo, miss you bro. You're the best, love you so much, can not wait until we meet again. Thanks for always being there, love you - Posted by: Rene ((Brother() on: Nov 29, 2013

• I am deeply saddened to hear about Rickardo’s passing. I worked as a T.A. at College Churchill when Rickardo was in 7th grade. Rickardo was really smart but the classroom wasn’t always where he wanted to be, so I got to spend a lot of time with Rickardo in the library. I remember he always made me laugh! He was a great kid and all these messages show he had grown into a great man. Condolences, love and light to all of Rickardo’s friends and family. - Posted by: Jessie Robinson (former TA at College Churchill ) on: May 01, 2013

• On behalf of myself and my family our condolences goes to Rick and all of the Batson family for such an untimely loss, through out the ups and downs in my life Rickardo was always there with a big smile on his face that would cheer me up and was always just a phone call away weather I needed help or to hang out. My dear friend you always made me feel welcome at your family's just like an older brother, you will always be in my prayers and thoughts until we meet again. - Posted by: Mike china dude (Friend) on: Apr 19, 2013

• My deepest condolences to everyone (his family and friends) and whoever got the chance to meet him.. I personally never got the chance, but I am really close friends with his girlfriend, and i've heard nothing but remarkable things about him, I've also never seen her soo happy and proud before she and the kids were blessed with rickardo in their life, he was the missing piece to her puzzle, they completed each other :) Rickardo you'll be missed by everyone. Please watch over your family and friends and Paige and the kids they all love you forever! - Posted by: Katie ((Friend of Paige)) on: Apr 19, 2013

• I remember when Rickardo first came to our house and I thought wow what a great kid, so friendly, polite, a presence that just made you smile. A gem for a teenage boy at that time, who grew to be a good man. One of those who touched many lives. "There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love" - Posted by: Linda (Friend) on: Apr 19, 2013

• Rickardo, we spent so much time together on summer weekends at our cottage. You learned to water ski there - and did so well at it! And you took Uncle Harry to Fishing School many times too. Every week you would come for dinner and then you and Uncle Harry would be off to Scouts. We enjoyed having you around so much. You are soooo missed. We love you. - Posted by: Caron Bueckert (aunt) on: Apr 18, 2013

• My precious nephew, beloved son of my little sister Michelle Honey, you were well loved, as it should be. On your day of birth, you were so tiny, you fit in the palm of my hand. I was so afraid I would break you! I always looked forward to our chats on Facebook. Now you can go be with Grandpa Honey. I love you Rickardo. - Posted by: Moira Honey (Aunt) on: Apr 18, 2013

• My darling boy. I remember like it was yesterday, your first days of life spent with me and your mom at my place...the tiniest little fighter! It is folly to try to make any sense of this tragedy. I think of you often. I recall fondly our late night text sessions. When i would hear that little blip noise and saw it was you online with me, I knew i was in for a nice little chat. Always know you were loved. - Posted by: Debbie Honey- Lazaruk (aunt) on: Apr 18, 2013

• It really sucks, life got so busy and we never really got to chill like we planned. Rest in peace buddy, you'll be forever missed <3 - Posted by: lindsay (friend) on: Apr 18, 2013

• Ricardo's Uncle Harry lived next to us and often Ricardo joined in outings with our grand kids. We all enjoyed having him as part of the fishing trips and know he will be missed by all who knew him. Our sincere condolences to all the family. - Posted by: Cathy and Buster Welch (We met Ricardo through his Uncle Harry, our next door neighbor) on: Apr 18, 2013

• How lucky have I been to have had you in my life for as many years as I did. Even though I miss you like crazy, I find myself smiling when I retrace all the memories we've all made together, you always brought the party. The place you left will never be filled, but we'll be living hard for you. Love you man, and I can't wait to see you again :-) - Posted by: Aja Turko (cousin) on: Apr 18, 2013

• In grade 9, Rickardo was a very happy, social young man. He got along with everyone and was always energetic. I have taught thousands of students, but I still remember Rickardo. My condolences to friends and family. It must be difficult to lose someone who had so much personality. I'm happy everyone had such nice things to say about him! - Posted by: Miss Noad (Jr. high school English Language Arts teacher) on: Apr 17, 2013

• Missing you more and more as each day goes by, everyone says it will get easier with time but at this point I don't see how. You've brought so much laughter into my life and so many memories. You were the most amazing person and you touched everyone's heart from the beginning. I am so honoured to call you one of my best friends. And you will forever be my friend I can't wait to see you again. Until then I will continue to think about you everyday, and always think of the memories you left behind. I love you forever my friend Xoxoxox Rest in peace <3 - Posted by: Brittany (Friend) on: Apr 17, 2013

• On behalf of my family, (myself, Eddy, Samantha & Seka) I want to express my deepest condolences to the family. My heart hurts so much knowing the pain you're in. We are so grateful that we were able to have Rickardo in our lives again! Thanks to Facebook! When we connected - it was like we were always connected. He was such an awesome personality! It was like he'd been a part of our lives always. He had absolutely no qualms about texting me to get him VIP at The Palomino Club - or messaging with Sammy, Seka and Eddy. I'm really glad that our kids had the opportunity to get to know each other again. Rickardo jumped at the opportunity to help me & Sammy when we got stranded with a flat tire. That was so impressive and appreciated! Like I said to Samantha - I know Robert was standing there at The Golden Gates - super excited to bring his little brother Home. I can just see it! Rick, your two oldest sons are in Heaven taking care of each other and watching over all of you. - Posted by: Tina Lussier (Friend) on: Apr 17, 2013
