Please accept my sincere condolences to Janet and Rick's entire family. We were all deeply saddened by Rick's passing.

We always say that our influence is not defined by the positions or ranks that we hold. And so it was with Rick. He had an impact on so many people in his personal and professional life, in so many ways.

We are grateful for his service and his legacy. He will always be an important part of the BRPD family. You will be in my prayers. God bless you all. -Dan

To The Barnett Family-
Our sincerest condolences regarding the loss of Rick.
I will always remember Rick for his strong work ethic, straight forward honesty, outstanding service to our union and his great sense of humor. Rick was one of the most honorable police officers I ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with during our years of service together at the BRPD. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May God comfort you during this difficult time. You are all in our prayers. ~Charlie and Lisa

You and your family were blessed to have had Rick in your life and he leaves you with all the wonderful memories and good times.

I am truly saddened to hear of the Rick's passing. I worked with him in the 90's at BRPSD. He was compassionate, fun-loving yet highly professional, and simply "everything a police officer should be" (as quoted by my canine-loving little sister when he took the time to introduce her to Eluo). Praying for strength for his family as they endure this difficult journey.

Rick was always an inspiration and mentor to me while growing up and interning at the PD. He knew how to talk to people in a calming manner that I'll never forget. He introduced me to K-9's and now I work with search and rescue dogs when not on water patrols for the State. Rick will be missed by all he helped, befriended, and loved. The law enforcement community has lost one of the greatest.

We are so sorry for the loss to your family. I've know Rick since I was a teenager. He loved his family so much and I know you will all miss him. He served his community well. It takes a special person to be a policeman and he surely was that. Thanks to his family for his service because you had to share him with so many. Prayers and blessings to you all.
