Frederick Ahrens

Frederick H. Ahrens also known as Rick or Ricky which he hated. His life was abusive, and he endured a lot in his life. Rick was/is and always will be my best friend. He had a huge heart and as corky as he could be at times, he never stopped being his beautiful strong self. As children we experienced a world that treated us hard, but we had each other to make it through it. As young kids we became blood brothers, and I will always love him and would like to dedicate this song as a tribute to his life and death. "What a Shame" (by: Shinedown)
