Rikki loved to spend time with his daughter, Julia, in the summers dressing up and taking her out to the Santa Fe Plaza on dates. He would show her how a lady should be treated. He loved his music, especially writing and singing, skateboarding and hanging out with his friends. Like everything Rikki did in life, his passion for body art was extreme. He enjoyed cooking to an extent. He enjoyed learning how to prepare new dishes and volunteered his talents for others. He really enjoyed the outdoors and spent as much time as he could with Mother Nature. Rikki had a smile and laugh that would light up a room, he spent much time sharing his life with the world; he will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched.
