We walked on many beaches, fished on many seas. We hiked on many mountains and biked on many streets.
Our Journey only lasted a few short years, but the Treasures that you gave me will last forever near.
The Family that you shared with me
have always remained in my heart. As the Love that we shared I will never let depart.
Ride in Peace.
Love DK

To Rex family,
I met Rex back in 2005 up in Cripple Creek Co. Him and I were trying to remember when we first met. We started dating this year Feb. 1, 2008. I did not go to work a few times just so that I could spend a day with Rex. Had I known, I would had spent everyday with Rex. Rex had a big heart and he touched so many peoples lives. I know that I will never be the same.

I had a lot of fun memories with Rex Richardson. He taught me how to play pool, we did target practice in his backyard, and he took me for a ride on his harley from Cotopaxi to Pueblo. We rode ATV's together at his house. I wish he was still here.

Everytime, I see an outdoorsman, a fisherman, a hunter....pass a fellow rider, I will think of you my friend. I am proud, to have shared in your last ride, I will always remember the smile on your face, the stories, the laughter we all shared, and you will be missed my friend. Love n Respect always....

Miles will never distance
The depth of respect
Between Us Brothers
Of the Mistress wind
As you close your eyes
Smile my friend
Think of the many miles
Still left to ride
Hold onto memories
Never give up
Up on life
For as long as I breathe
You are a part of me
As long as I ride
You shall ride with me
And when I leave here
To join you there
Others will ride for us
Onward Forever Forward
Into the wind...

Ron & Sandy Reader
