Ricardo was born on January 31, 2002 to Ricardo Cano Sr. and Leticia. He attended Wylie Independent Schools growing up and was set to graduate from Premiere High School. His dream was to go into the Marine Corps and become a police officer after. He was sworn in on March 26, 2020 and set to leave February 21, 2021.

Ricardo, also known as Ritzo growing up played peewee football with friends and family. Other things he enjoyed were Tae Kwon Do, which he participated in for years. As he got older, his friends and family called him Rico or RJ. He was an avid conspiracy theorist and could astound you with his knowledge of the military. He loved working out, shooting guns, and being with friends and family.

He was an old soul and is survived by his parents, Ricardo Sr. and Leticia, his siblings, Angela, Joey, Jaime, Roberta, Nelson, and Symone, his nieces/nephews, Victoria, Laura, Jose, Javier, Abraham, Daviano, Jaime Tristyn, Sophia, and Thiago. In addition, he had many tio’s, tia’s, cousins, and friends.
