Richard Garnet McKinney

My father worked side by side with Rick for many years as a Firefighter. I remember going with my dad (Gilbert Taylor) to the firestation on his days off, Just stopping in to say Hi or cause it was his second home.( haha ). Rick was always kind and friendly, always joking around with who ever was on shift. And there was always that smile on his face, One that will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May

I never heard Ricky say a bad word about anybody. Whenever I saw him, he always had a smile for me. I knew that I was always accepted and loved by him - no matter what. I'll see you again, Rick. I love you.

I met Ricky when he joined the Hopewell Fire Dept..Ricky was a very thoughtful man and I know he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I met ricky back in the late 80"s. He was great from the beginning. Never ever heard him talk bad about anyone, and could always show you something good in everyone he came across. Many a time I called on ricky in need for something or another and it never mattered where he was he came. He did this with everyone. His crowns in heaven have been earned Im sure. Going to miss him terribly, but so many good memories

We pray that the love of family and friends and the Grace of God will surround you and continue to carry you through this difficult time. Ricky was such a wonderful man with a beautiful soul. Surely, his sense of humor and infectious smile will be greatly missed, yet forever etched in our minds. He cared deeply about people...and that was proven by the career path he chose with the Hopewell Fire Dept. We're gonna miss you, Ricky!

I am truly sorry to hear of Rick's death. I first got to know him 20 years ago, when I was on the Hopewell Emergency Crew. He was always very helpful when we needed assistance on calls.

Once I started working at A & B Ambulance, we worked the same shift. Quite a few times, when we got off work at 7 a.m., several of us would go to Shoney's for breakfast before we headed home. We always had nice

I missed seeing him around when he retired. He always could brighten a day with a smile or a kind word! My prayers are with his family at this time.
