Now, family and friends of Rikki will pay tribute to him in a day-long event on Saturday, July 30, at The Bus Yard. The evening will include music from Billie Clements, Ian Longo, Kaci Lea Lynch and Jake Laird.
There will also be a balloon release at 8pm, with people either being able to bring their own, or collecting one on site. The event is ticketed with all money being raised going directly to Rikki's family.
Dj Billie Clements said: "Remembering Rikki. All ticket money and door money is going straight to his family. Will be playing his (Rikki's) fav song.
