Ricky Dakota Sanchez
Ricky Dakota Sanchez , 20, of Pea Ridge, died suddenly and tragically on April 2, 2022.
Our time with Ricky, though heartbreakingly short, has also been impossibly joyful. The pain of our loss is bottomless and will be felt forever.
He is remembered most for his quick smiles, playful attitude, and deeply caring spirit. He showered his family, friends and faithful dog, Roxy, with love and selflessness every day of his life. We have been incredibly privileged to know him, and so we will honor his memory by cherishing each other as much as he cherished each of us.
Survivors are his mom and dad, Tereasa and Bryan Jones; grandfather, Leon; siblings, Brittany, Austen, Michayla, Colten, Caitlin and Jason; his nephew, Jace; his close friends, Andrew Piggott, Cody Rust, David Gillum, Aubrey Cornell and Trevor Blair; and a great number of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and too many friends to count.
Flowers on his behalf may be sent to Sisco Funeral Home in Pea Ridge, where a private memorial will be held for his family later this week.
