“It is an honor for me to do it. I used to be an EMS. You see a variety of tragedies within the space. I am doing this out of affection for the households and for the individuals who have handed away,” stated Kyle Ammerman.

He says the memorial was severely broken.

“It was just a plain white cross. It had a lot of damage to it. The cross piece was all rotted,” said Ammerman. “So, I decided to put a new cross piece in, paint it up.”

 “I was watching the news. Followed it on a daily basis,” said Ammerman. “A lot of volunteers searched for this little boy. Parents, anybody that was available.” 

He says he even remembered the day Holland’s physique was discovered. 

“That dreadful day. That can by no means go away,” stated Ammerman. 

So, he does all he can to ensure nobody forgets about seven-year-old Ricky Holland.
