Rice! Man you meant a lot to everyone. You were an amazing father to Lennon and James, an amazing husband to Meghan. A mentor, a friend and to many the only one who offered support and or hard love in a growingly soft world. You really looked out for us all growing up in Portsmouth. From then on it was everywhere I went, I discovered more and more people that had similar stories and felt that same support. You really did hold us kids accountable for our actions, you made us realize we all represent a community larger than ourselves. A lifestyle so sacred that only the real ones know what it’s about. You showed the value and camaraderie that can be created using this plank of wood on wheels. You gave hope and acceptance to so many people trying to figure out their life. You fostered a community like no one I’ve ever met. You were the most authentic dude I’ve ever come across. You spoke your mind, and gave it to everyone straight, whether they liked it or not. Your impact on so many truly will be hard for anyone to match. Every time we spoke I felt like I genuinely learned something, and left with a laugh. It doesn’t make sense to me that I’ll never be able to talk and laugh with you again. You’re prolly laughing at me now for writing so much. We barely got to scratch the surface together at the new Portsmouth skatepark, you fought for our community to have that for decades. You built the community and you gave me a world of friends that I’ll forever be able to carry on your legacy with. All I have is good memories. I’ll never forget being in SF with you and everyone at the same time in 2018! Thanks for your feedback, your wisdom and your endless support! RIP my friend! #ifaallday #ifanh #identity 🕊️🕊️🕊️
