We are all saddened by the sudden loss of our family and friend Patrick LaSelva. Born and raised in the Hyde park area. A passionate life long supporter of the Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots. A loyal friend to everyone he met with a heart of gold. Ricky brought life and energy into everyone's day. He was continuously making people laugh and was the life of any party. Through many ups and downs Ricky was nothing short of a fighter. Ricky will be missed by all. We no longer will get any more funny random phone calls or any long texts in all capital letters. May he rest in peace with his family and his beloved pets Abby and Bacon. We all will miss Ricky endlessly. He will continue to live through everyone in different memories and stories. Ricky will finally be reunited with his mother, father, and brother at Blue Hills Cemetary.
