Ice Seguerra was one of those who deeply mourned the passing of Ricky Davao.

In a black and white photo post on Instagram, Ice shared their last meeting — a simple get-together for Ricky’s birthday. Ice said,
“You were always with us, Lizza and me. At every event, every performance, you were never absent.”

He also recalled the last hospital visit, where even though Ricky was already struggling to speak, he still managed to smile — especially when the doctor mentioned he could eat chocolate again.

*”I thought you were going to get better, Annie Eyes. I thought someday we’d go on another date. Goodbye, Tito Ricky. You’re finally home. That last birthday celebration of yours — that was our last time together.

You were always there for me and L. At every event and performance, you never missed a moment.

If there was anyone who matched my excitement for singing whenever I saw a mic, it was you. You were such a joy to talk to, to jam with, and to be around.

I’m grateful I got to visit you in the hospital. Even though you could no longer speak, you were still talkative.

I won’t forget how happy you looked when your doctor said you could eat chocolate again. And that smile of yours when I told you it was good you shaved your head — because you looked more handsome and younger.

I really thought you were going to get better, that there would be another time we’d hang out, or I’d see you watching one of my concerts again.”*
