Better known as Rick, Ricky, Big Man and Vicky’s husband, 

was born January 28, 1971 in Brownsville, Tx. His parents Ricardo† & Maria Martinez† 

Siblings Rodolfo Castillo† and Estela Hernandez, whom he loved very much.

Rick came to Houston in 1985, he was the youngest of his family. He liked American football , his favorite team, as we all know, was The Pittsburgh Steelers. His favorite baseball team was The Astros. His favorite card games were the Mexican Loteria, and Poker. He would always say he was Mexican on this side of the border, he loved norteña and Tejano music and cooking fajitas. The last years of his short life, he dedicated every moment on making his family happy, his wife, sons and his Church, St.Albert of Trapani. His greatest pride were his sons, Gerardo and Noel . Rick leaves a great testimony of life, where we can see that when you want to change for the better you can, He leaves a huge void in our hearts, but we must remember him with all the good moments he gave us.

"During one of the hardest moments of our lives, Alyssa at Leal Funeral Home was a true blessing to our family. She guided us gently through every decision, never rushing us, and always making sure our wishes for my father were honored.

"At three o'clock in the morning, when my grandmother passed, they answered the phone and came immediately to bring her into their care. That alone meant more to us than they'll ever know. They treated us with compassion, patience, and respect — no pressure, no coldness, just genuine care."
— Daniel Rodriguez
★★★★★
"Eric and Lilly were so supportive and kept reassuring me that whenever we needed them, they would be there. Such personal attention was wonderful. They made all the arrangements so easy even when the service was in another town. We are so grateful for everything Leal did for us."
