Ricardo "Ricky" Sotelo Jr

As most of you know on Dec 30th, 2022, our dear friend and brother Ricardo “Ricky” Sotelo Jr was involved in a very bad motorcycling accent on his way to work, which left him in a coma for weeks.

The road to recovery has been long and difficult, but after multiple surgeries and healing, we are excited to announce that Ricky is being released back to the care of his family this Wednesday, May 10th.

Ricky has worked in various positions at RBA, from shuttle cart driver to loader operator to Rolling Stock lead. Ricky has always put the needs of his team first and is known for his smile and positive energy. He has truly been missed, and we look forward to the day he can rejoin the team!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ricky as you continue to progress down the road to full recovery!

We have started this GoFundMe page to help Ricky’s family with various expenses as they move towards a long-term care solution at home. We hope you might consider how you can support a fellow Ritchie Bros coworker as he transitions back into the care of his loved ones.
