Ricardo William, "Rick", 58, of Brandon Floirda passed away on August 4th, 2022 in his home. Born and raised in Maracaibo, Venezuela and moving to the states as a young boy Rick excelled at everything he put his mind to.

He was preceded in death by his father, George William, and in-laws, Maria Hernandez and Pepe Hernandez as well as his beloved pets, Bear, Bennie and Banjo. Rick is survived by his wife of 37 years, Ana William; his children Tiffanie Maynard and RJ William; grandchildren Ava Maynard and Mariana William.

Ricky was a very strong, resourceful living, hard working respected individual and just a beautiful soul. He was always there for anyone who needed him, He lived for his family, he was a protector, a guardian, a family stone. He never met a stranger, and he was always giving a helping hand, he would give the shirt off his back. His pride and joy were his two granddaughters, those girls were his world. He always kept in touch with his family in Venezuela and made it a priority for his family to come first, using all of his talents to support us all. He was a craftsman, a woodworker, a painter, and an artist. His talents were endless but the one thing that everyone admired the most was that he never gave up, he persevered, he pushed through, his laughter was contagious and a smile would light up a room. He loved animals and leaves behind his most recent fur partner Lucie. One day, he will be able to say again, "Lucie, I'm home." Until then, we will care for her the way we know he would have wanted.
