Ricardo Rios was a hard-working, loving, genuinely kind hearted man. He was known to be a great husband, father, brother and friend to many. Someone who would drop everything to help others without expecting anything in return. Truly his grandchildren’s biggest fan. With his entrepreneur mindset he started his business Valley Towing & Storage in 1973 and ran it successfully until his last breath. He loved his family, friends, business and even strangers. The Jokester, lightness and love that he brought to people will continue to live through them. If you knew Richard you knew laughter and how to not take life so seriously. He’d want us all to wipe away our tears and celebrate his life. May his charisma continue to make you randomly smile because he’d love that. Rest in peace, Richard and watch over us as we are sure you are already doing.
Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, October 28, 2024, with recitation of the Holy Rosary at 6:00 p.m. at Sunset Memorial Funeral Home.
